Maxi came back too early. He was passing up wide 3s in the last game. So why even have him out there?

Because if you open your eyes. They’re fouling.


Don’t do it, it’s a trick. Keep your eyes closed and continue to assume the Mavs are getting screwed over.

Luka saw Kleber wide open and thought 'yeah, I'll shoot the incredibly difficult fadeaway'.

Smart decision.

Only time traveling will be called is if you slide. If they take extra steps ref look the other way :lol:

If Luka has a bad knee and ankle as they claim, you do NOT try that kind of pivot where he got called for a travel. Has to be exaggerated

Two travel calls in the first quarter? Is it 2024 or 1984?

Boston are missing some great shots. They’ll start to fall.

Bro, look at him. He’s clearly injured. I have no dog in this fight, I have reasons for wanting both teams to win so I don’t care what the result is. But you can clearly tell he’s hobbled.

You can go somewhere else if you don’t like facts.

This is going to follow the cliche bout Celtics: live by the 3 and die by the 3.
