Lol, the overreactions. Is it really surprising to see a team on elimination play like their life’s depended on it and for a team up 3-0 to play way too relaxed? 0f course Im disappointed in their effort but I seriously doubt they come out the same way the next game. There’s a reason no team has ever lost up 3-0.

Wish it were that simple.

It is.

The only team that can beat the celtics are the celtics.

They win in 5.

Zero concern.

Hoe many times have we seen this team beat themselves though? I've honestly lost count.

It’s HOW they are playing that’s the problem. Any team that comes out and plays like this deserves criticism.

The team that has won like 14 straight games and is a game from the title deserves to have the absolute **** criticised out of them.

Great take.

Yes. They do. I’m sorry. What title have they won? Here’s a hint. They haven’t won ****. Know what they HAVE done though? Repeatedly? Played like absolute **** on the biggest stage. Time and time again. So miss me with your pearl clutching dude.

Dude is a clown. This game would’ve been fine as a loss if it were at least close at some points. I can’t rock with a team playing like they don’t care. This dude Tatum was literally fouling like he dgaf to be in the game and looking at the ref every 2 seconds

We have been outplayed 5 quarters straight by a pretty significant margin now

I am concerned about that it does seem they have figured something out on the defensive side against us

We’ll win the title in a few days and I’m sure you find something else to be doomsday about

It’s not doomsday, it’s just a fact. It is ok to say we let a team out the bag a bit, they have figured us out a bit for 5 quarters in a row and we will find ourselves in big trouble if we don’t close it out in 5. It is ok..just to let you know.

They need to win 1/3 games.

They haven’t figured out ****.

Luka is still a garbage defender, Kyrie can be abused in switches and they don’t have the offence outside of their two stars to beat us 3 times in a row.

Celtics played soft from the jump. When lively was getting those rebounds, it’s just felt like the Celtics weren’t matching their energy at all and dictated the way the game went

No they aren't at all. What a foolish thing to say

They are completely focused. Bad game. Move on

The scoreboard reflects exactly how focused they were tonight.

Bad games happen.

When is the last time you saw a team go 98-0?

The greatest team of all time 72 win bulls lost to the expansion raptors

It's one thing for a team facing elimination to get a win at home, it's another thing entirely to give up basically the biggest Finals loss in NBA history.

As some have pointed out, Mavs have somehow figured out how to play the Celtics in the last 5 or 6 straight quarters (and Lively was saying as much in his interview). If that is truly the case, which we'll be able to confirm in game 5, I'll be holding my breath in anticipation until then.

Can’t win a title without wearing our green uniforms at least once.

Red wouldn’t allow it tonight.

Larry_Russell · Post #1431 » by **Larry_Russell** » Sat Jun 15, 2024 2:58 am

Can Tell that some posters are going to have a heart attack with the massive overreacting to a bad game.

Celtics are up 3-1. Lost 1 road game all playoffs. Coming off 10 straight wins and guys acting like they are on verge of being swept.

Jeez guys and gals. Go have a drink, watch a funny movie, hug your spouse, puff a joint, rub one out...

Whatever it takes to just let it go.

Bad loss, lost focus, regroup, all will be fine.

Nah according to certain posters, game 5 is already over so we have nothing to worry about.

Had we made 13 more threes, this was a W. Unbothered.

Weeny Hut Porzingis better play starter minutes in Game 5. If we don't win that game we WILL find a way to choke away this series.

Haha Mavs, we didn't lose by 40.

GreenBloodedC · Post #1436 » by **GreenBloodedC** » Sat Jun 15, 2024 2:59 am

Only reason I'm pissed is because the Celtics could have finished the Playoffs without losing on the road.

I don’t think they figured anything out tbh.

Literally nothing that Boston did make any sense.

Selfish play, absolutely 0 ball movement. Players literally walking and not caring to go after the ball. Letting hauser cover Luka constantly which didn’t make a lick of sense. Not going after Luka and Kyrie like before. Brown just playing like it’s his first game in league. Jrue being extremely sloppy

TheMartian · Post #1438 » by **TheMartian** » Sat Jun 15, 2024 3:00 am

I don't get why Tatum is smiling. That's not a "we gave you this one, we'll get the next" smile either.

Who the **** cares about winning at home or away? This is not a regular season game. This is the Finals. You don't give a chance to the opponent. You finish him off. Cut this crup nonsense and get your **** together for G5.

Dominate teams do.

Yeah, keep believing this fairy tale **** you're saying. There ain't nothing like that. Do you think the Bulls cared about this ****? Or the Warriors? Or the Lakers? **** NO!! Cut this **** bull.
