Most of all, KP couldn't have seriously continued to play at that level.
That's mostly what made the first half a blowout for Celtics

If the Mavs lose I expect kids to call for a wheel chair to wheel Luka off the court even if he was standing minutes ago.

Boston is going to give this game away. They have done this for years….big lead, then they stop playing hard.

This was predictable. When it's easy they always let off and give up momentum

Mavs playing with House Money right now. If the Celtics lose this, it's going to be very difficult to bounce back.

Dallas increased their intensity and physicality and Boston regressed to their bad habits.

Game is never over when you have Luka on your team. That man is made of different material.

Glad to see we've got a game on our hands again.
