Finals 2024 - G1 - Mavs @ Celtics (Thursd., 8:30PMEST)

Another thing no one seems having mentioned: I hope Kyrie goes into the game WITHOUT a revenge mentality. He is more mature at this time now. Instead of thinking about revenge, he should be gladly embrace the opportunity/challenge and ENJOY the game of basketball. When those racists in the garden boo him or say nasty shat to him, he should respond with a smile and hold the high ground as the response to those pricks.

KP press conference was scary, very scary... He laughed a lot, his face was just a big smile all the time.

He will be at 200% tonight, well rested for the Finals.
Boston in 3. They are too good.

Luckily we all betted on them. Easy money incoming.
That's good.

And this is exactly why Italians never have money and always gamble away the last bit they have.

Don't worry, he's going for reverse jinx

Good. Just think about if KP has something to prove you know Luka does. Luka is naturally more motivated than KP.

Kyrie spoke about this and said he is in a better place so to speak and will approach it correctly.

Kyrie seems focused. As focused as he's ever been since making game winning shots in Cleveland during the Finals.

He has to know how much this will mean to his legacy if he seperates himself from Lebron James and wins a championship without him.

Thinking about that will hurt his performance, trust me. I mean we are not him, but if I were him, the best mentality right now should be: I am ready, I am locked in, and let's PLAY basketball!

[GermanFan120]

One thing no one here has mentioned yet is that I think we should make Tatum play like Kobe in his mental state, in the most selfish way, like "This is my team" way, like "I ain't pass this, I am going for it" way, like "I have to be the FMVP" way. Tatum wants to be like Kobe in the most cringy fashion, let him be the selfish douchebag, it will eventually help us beat them. Use 2004 as a good reference.

What I am saying is Mavs can bait Tatum to have 1on1 monster game, but everyone else performs subpar. Make him be more jealous of Brown so they will mess up internally on their end, like how Ant man lost his cool in the late WCF series when he constantly yelled at his teammates "just pass my the fcuking ball."

New member!

Mavericks are playing championship level basketball.

Celtics are an excellent team.

I like our chances!

[Darren]

Remember how hard it is to get there. Stay the course. Bridge the gap. When opportunities present itself, seize the moment. Get rid of the negative voices from within. If plan doesn't work out, follow the engines and create a new route to success.

KP is great fit with Boston. This presents huge challenges defensively. But don't forget the fact that the Mavs also presents a challenge to KP as well. If you can't breathe, don't let them breathe as well. This is the Finals. Embrace what you truly want. Put those mistakes into muscle to fight back.

[Darren]

If Luka and Kyrie can't be stopped, this helps setting up defense. KP and Horford can't out run Gafford and Lively. This is an opportunity for easy buckets.

[agentofatlas]

They need to go in guns blazing at the start. Either Luka or Kyrie needs to set the tone like game 1 or 5 last series.

[Dirk2Doncic]

Take game 1 and watch the smoke start rising from the city of Boston.

Celtics players will be feeling the heat if we win tonight.

Yup, no feeling out process. Need Kyrie and Luka to set the tone as the leaders. It's the finals, leave it all on the line.

[Baz]

Enjoy the game yall. It doesn't get bigger than this.

[Bob8]

Difficult to play more stupid basketball. Hardy and Green attacking the rim against 7'2 player? Kyrie taking incredibly difficult shots. The only one with normal shots was Luka, but unfortunately he missed few.

[GermanFan120]

Ok put Morris on this tall bitach and break his leg.
