Dallas supporting cast will play better at home, but this is pretty ugly.

Let's be honest. Boston's starting line up is sick. Better than most recent super teams actually.

Almost felt bad for Mavs there for a sec, they were flat out overwhelmed until that Luka layup. Hope they cut into the lead a little tho, turn up the intensity

Mavs need to start getting physical and making this a grind because they can't match up skill/talent wise obviously as of yet.

Boston set the finals record for 1st Q lead. What’s the record for halftime.

They’re loading up on Tatum which other teams have done. He’s making the right play and passing it. He’s forced a couple but with guys hitting their shots, he needs to just keep doing what he’s doing

I still would've preferred to see a Nuggets/Celtics Finals but Nuggets didn't do their job.

Holiday and KP were the missing pieces. I've seen enough Boston will win this series they have more talent and it's clear as day.
I picked the Mavs in 7, but I gotta be realistic. Mavs are overmatched talent wise. KP being back was a game changer.

Lot of this seems like nerves and inexperience. Boston is talented but the games will be closer and they’ll have a shot to win some.

How can the Mavs be expected to win with a 55% healthy Kleber.
