2024 NBA FINALS: #1 Boston Celtics vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (BOS leads 2-0)

[jfs1000d]

Mavs defense is foul every time, the refs can’t call it. Sheesh.

[Walmart]

Dallas should be forcing Boston to play small instead of playing Maxi. He's by far their worst rotation player.

[Mk0]

Kleber sucks. Just shoving KP and doing nothing else

That was clearly a flop.

Not arguing that but it was still a shove. Dude is still too hurt to shoot a 3 so why is he out there?

[JustBuzzin]

Luka dominating and only a 3pt game.

Somebody else has to step up offensively for the Mavs.

[jfs1000d]

These FTs for Boston have been huge

And Dallas missing theirs

Dallas got a good whistle. Literally fouling every possession.

[zimpy27]

And yet the Celtics’ fans are complaining about refs.

They are on track for 40 FTs..

It's 10 vs 9 FTs. Just the Mavs keep missing.

True! Celts are missing easy 3s and Mavs are missing easy FTs.

Will be interesting to see that even out over the rest of the game

[Papi_swav]

so Mavs just have to guard the 3 point line and they win? ohh naa they'll get a bunch of free throws because of the refs ofcourse

[___Rand___]

Kyrie's 4 for 5. He's starting out good. So has Luka. Yet they are in a virtual tie despite Celtics shooting badly from 3. I'd say Celtics are looking good.

[Castle Black]

Boston isn’t just missing their 3’s, they’re bricking almost every single one of them. Their attempts aren’t even close. Funny how it’s always contagious too

[Chuck Everett]

Kleber sucks. Just shoving KP and doing nothing else

I don't remember the Morris brother playing much during these playoffs. I am not sure they can play small against the Celtics otherwise. Hurts the rebounding too much.

[GSP]

If we win this series and it goes basically how its gone so far through 2 games Kp is really gonna win Fmvp. Another stinker tonight and Jayson not winning it.

Our offense and rim protection night and day w/ Kp and they cant guard him w/ their usual defensive strat of their guards and wings on centers and having Lively and Gafford protect the paint. If they put Lively or Gafford on Kp then its the red sea in the paint and wed get anything we want inside. Kp has been our most impactful player so far by a good amount

[Zeno]

Regardless of who you are rooting for it is obvious Brothers and crew are going to take this game over. They can’t stop him and they can’t even hope to contain him.

[jfs1000d]

so Mavs just have to guard the 3 point line and they win? ohh naa they'll get a bunch of free throws because of the refs ofcourse

They are fouling every possession. They have decided just to push Porzingis setting a pick. lol/

[Patches Perry]

Kyrie getting going is a wildcard for Dallas. Dallas becomes way more dangerous when he is in rhythm. The "Let Luka beat you" strategy gets much more questionable if Kyrie has it going, because Kyrie can make you pay if you let him get to cooking.

[SportsGuru08]

Celtics living at the FT line… hate those games.

That's the story for the Celtics when they're at home. The worst example was Game 2 of the 2008 Finals, which is the only time I've ever stopped watching a Finals game out of frustration with officiating. Leon Powe had more free throws by himself than the Lakers as a team.

[Papi_swav]

Dallas should be forcing Boston to play small instead of playing Maxi. He's by far their worst rotation player.

KP will just shoot over everybody, he can't seem to miss now. Or he'll just keep throwing his head back and flop to get foul calls

[Jeremy Lin 7]

Decent looks from 3 for the Celtics. They should be thankful to only be down 3

[AussieCeltic]

Boston isn’t just missing their 3’s, they’re bricking almost every single one of them. Their attempts aren’t even close. Funny how it’s always contagious too

Only need 1 to fall to change it

[Tor_Raps]

Not a foul on Brown. Tony Brothers special

Cry lol

Hilarious irony coming from you.

That was the joke. I've cried twice and yall cried once each. 1 more to go and we're even lol

[AussieCeltic]

Can’t have PP on Luka. Come on
