[Mavrelous]

Does anyone know how many points do Celtics favor to win tonight?

8.5
Seems bettors have very low confidence in the Mavs.

I hope not, wishing good health to everyone even those I want off my team...

Luka owned the Celtics in all 20/21 and 21/22 season, including 2 games winners and game winning assist to Dinwiddie, since then they capitalized on Luka's sucky roster, this is the 1st time Luka faces with good supporting since 22 season, hoping for a good game.

Assuming Luka plays of course...

Wishing people sick as a joke makes no sense when it comes to humanity...

Thanks for writing yet another useless post, when you reach 1000 we'll give you a rubber duck. Hang on.

Pro tip:

Learning to de-escalate.

Sometimes we read things we don't like.

Sometimes someone quotes us and stuff.

It is not absolutely necessary to reply to them and it's absolutely not necessary to escalate things.

You could have just said "I meant that as a joke" or simply ignore and move on. Either option is better than to constantly build up animosity online - this goes for anyone.

I personally would not interpret the comment as you wishing "Kidd was sick". But if others did, then all you should do is simply say "I just meant it as a joke. Maybe not a good one, but I am not as witty as Archx. Forgive me". And just move on.

This is who KP has become .and Carlile was definitely the wrong coach for him.
When Gafford and KP meet tonight they'll probably be thinking ....we've escaped the loser's mentality of the Wizards.

Yikes... Hopefully Mavs can keep it close and this game won't end up being ugly early...

KP hot at the start

[Michaellam1987]

BOS like to shoot 3 ball……..

[Michaellam1987]

Bad game plan, also poor defensive effort, lazy weak foul, early foul trouble for Luka. Not good signal so far

[ejs78]

Mavs taking a lot of tough shots now and Celtics can't miss.

Lively playing like an MVP candidate!

Future DPOY and a proven Wemby stopper already

[ChipotleWest]

It looks like Maxi is going to continue to get more minutes than Gafford.

First half
Maxi 10 minutes
Gafford 6 minutes

[Archx]

Mavs 5-20 from 3 and down by 7 at the half. I guess i'll take it.

Insane defensive skills for his age and experience. We got proper lucky there.

I was thinking the same, hard for us to continue shooting this poorly and for them to remain this hot? Except for that one god awful Timmy 3 attempt it wasn't awful shot selection, etc.
