Have some shame, put up a fight, instead they fold...

We can do whatever analysis, but we're not winning any games with Kyrie playing like that. 28 points from 37 shots and 0 3s made.

Why are you guys surprised?

Kyrie has now 12 straight loss vs. the Celtics.

Mavs starters not named Luka have made 2 3-pointers in 2 games. The whole team outside Luka has made 5 3-pointers in 2 games. Shooting 15% for 3. Those are all wide open 3s. Impossible to win shooting like this, even if Celtics have bad shooting game too.

He will have few more, if he continues to play like that.

Luka pace is the problem ...it allows Boston to be ready on defense

It was a fun ride while it lasted, hurts to see them go out like this.

If Bos can stop their former player, no reason Dallas can't stop theirs. That's what's most frustrating, letting KP look like the star he never was here.

And the Aussie boys suck. Kyrie having a bad series, the other 2 are just trash

Your guys are putting up a decent fight, Washington and Gafford are starting to find their spots and a level of comfort

You guys may have dodged a bullet there. As you know his legs arent super reliable and he did something to hurt one in the 4th

I wrote this when they went down 14 and looked like they were ready to head home, they answered with 9-0 run and then the clear missed call on PJ.
You guys got winner's luck today, probabely sealed the deal, Jrue and White were too much to handle.

KP hate shows lack of basketball knowledge ,he's doing his job out there and stuffing the Mavs at the rim. Both his blocks were highlite blocks.
The problem I'm seeing is Luka pace allows Boston to set their defense up for every Mavs possession . Kyrie pace goth them back into the game

Mavs have lost because players outside Luka were shooting 11% wide open 3s. They lost because Kyrie can't make a shot except layup. His Fg % is 35 and 0% for 3.

Luka is fine and he cannot be who he isn't.

The problem is Luka doesn't have a helper who used to be Kyrie in previous series.

This is so ironic, don't we have a 3-points specialist? :lol:

Mavs scoring 98 points with others shooting 11% for 3 and Kyrie being again under 40% Fg is kinda good.

Unfortunately that cost as a game.

Timmy must be so trashy that all mavs fans don't even miss him when the team shoots 15% for 3...

This is an unpopular opinion, but now that Kyrie has an all-time high trade value, I think Nico can explore trading him for a 2 way star. With Luka you need a running mate that can shoot and defend. Imagine if you had Mikal Bridges here. That type of pairing would be ideal. Just my thoughts.

The Mavs can't make opened jumpers, not even free throws. Kyrie can't hit any shots outside the paint. When double team comes, teammates are not in right spot to help. Study what Holiday does. You see a big difference. This series go as good as Kidd. I expect 4-0 now. Kidd is #@&*^.
