Just give the freaking ball to Doncic! Nothing is happening when Kyrie has the ball or someone else dribbles.

Never forget Jason Kidd told PJ Washington he needed to be more like Magic Johnson in handling and pushing the ball.

That PJ turnover (that Luka fell on his sword for) into a Celtic three is the dagger

PJ with the awful pass and Jrue (who else lol) makes the monster play

Dude has been incredible. Straight jacket on Kyrie and making all the hustle plays while leading the Celtics in scoring.

Boston doesn't present too many desirable matchups. Kyrie is going to have to stay aggressive and find ways to make plays over defenders who are bigger and stronger without exploitable quickness.

This is such a weird game, Boston role players dominating while Jayson Tatum doing his best to look like a clown and try to give the game away. I sort of feel bad for Tatum, this should be a story about Boston doing this as a team like the 04 Pistons, but because the media wanted to anoint Tatum as one of the next superstars he's going to get hate.

Holiday is just a championship player. No wonder he already played a huge role in winning one before, and now he's been easily the best player for the Celtics in this game.

The Mavs cannot even successfully bring the ball up the court without Doncic. Mavs role players and Kyrie need to take a serious look in the mirror after this game cause it's one thing to lose but this is embarrassing.

Luka has had four of the worst turnovers I've ever seen from him in this game.

Right? She's stirring unnecessary drama about Porzingis with the injury talk. Anyway hopefully he's okay.

She’s right though. With a 50% Porzingis, this Mavs team might have a shot— both at this game and this series.

The ridiculous break before game 3 will help Porzingis so I expect him to be alright by then. Even travelling I dont understand why there has to be 2 days between the next game

Dallas looks so hopelessly outmatched, I don't think KP injury makes a difference
