What did he say?


on luka's first fall after his shot, doris said luka arguing with the ref and not running back cost them that 3 from hauser.

he fell again on his next shot which led to the tatum dunk. as they were going to break, jj said luka falls but it's not his responsibility to get back as the shooter.

That's an easy turnaround for Luka on Pritchard if he wasn't preoccupied looking for contact

Pritchard -> Doncic as Barea -> LeBron?

jj's not good for commentary b/c he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. that's why i'm not sure if he's cut out for being a head coach.

By now Doncic should realize the Celtics are being allowed to defend way more aggressive on defense than his team is. Don't hunt fouls. They won't give it to you. Just be assertive on the shot or make the pass.

Pritchard with the back to back stops on their Aces

Meanwhile Luka is still a cone on defense

Luka try not to complain to the refs challenge (impossible)
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Mavs are looking very thin in terms of realistic depth

Irving 11 points on 5 of 9 shooting so good start. But Boston still with the lead, at some point that's going to be frustrating again that you can't have an advantage even if you're stars are playing well.
