Final Take ...... Luka can take you along ways but might not get you over the top til he matures and gets in the best shape of his life. Which I think he will.
But Kyrie was healthy, but in a couple of the series he couldnt get past his man. He's a piece though .

My biggest issue about the Mavericks. is Kidd is not a modern day coach. Minus the 1 win, the Jkidd coached Mavs team scored under 90 pts twice and under 100 pts in the 4 losses. It was old school ISO against a team with 2 mega stars also but they passed and moved the ball which Dallas DIDN"T do.

The Mavs can't come back with the same gameplan when Boston will be a heavy favorite to be there again.

Never saw this before. Please turn that feature off, I usually don't read whatever he had to say, so...

Luka was non-committal on playing on Olympics qualifiers, he should get a rest, 92 VERY tough games this season, including 22 PO games on bum knee...

Let's shock the world and win game 5.

Nobody is deliberately giving games in the Finals away. 1 injury and you can be ****. Those hot takes are coming from Celtics camp, so...

I don't need to hear about hot takes at all to see the truth. The hockey and nba series have been idealical so far and I don't believe it's a coincidence.

Maybe Payton leads Boston in FG attempts again, maybe Tatum has 10 attempts again, and I would absolutely love 50% of Jaylen Brown to show up again..lol

Just don't pretend to be a Mavs fan and it's ok.

Some players were good, some players were bad, some players were bad and good... But Kidd was atrocious in those Finals.

I hope they didn't resign him and it's just a fake news.
He can't coach at high level. Simply he can't.

Keep your chin up because the future is bright. The offseason will be a productive one. Our newest additions from the trade deadline have shown us what they can provide to our team.

Didnt see the game but what stood out to me the most is 8pts/7rbs for Lively and Gafford combined.
Not winning when that duo is the 2nd strength of the team.

Also, noticed Green was our top scorer midway in 3rd.....that cant happen ever again.

Was planning to watch later today but will decline unless some on here can convince me otherwise.
Cant imagine there would be any entertainment value whatsoever.

I watched til it was 10min left of 2nd quarter. After that hilariously bad finish of first quarter when mavs went from same points to down like 12 in 1 min, and it looked as bad in the start of 2nd, i just said f it, no chance to win the game and went to bed

Maybe Mavs playing 5Head chess raising his trade value?

Or maybe he's shown us that he can be better overall? Nico will have some tough decisions to make.

Im curious how the team can play if they start Green and Lively instead of DJJ and Gafford. Maybe for a few eaely games next season Kidd can mix it up a bit just to see if it works.

DJJ has proven to be a better defender and slightly better around the rim probably. But there are games when Green has these plays when you think "Yo, where has this been the whole time? Why can't he play like that entire season?" ..... So yeah, i have no clue how some of these guys will look next year. Green started very bad, then had a stretch of incredible games and shooting, then went to being bad again but in playoffs he had some games when he positively affected the outcome simply by bringing more energy and hustle than anyone else. :dontknow:

Points In the paint was 42 by both teams. We won this battle overall in the series. We basically didn't do anything right in game 5.
