Around the league -- Offseason edition

[GermanFan120]

I don't think there are problems about it, that series is almost over.
4-0/4-1 unless Boston will choke both road games... And i doubt it will happen.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, I mean the Wolves can still advance to the final even after Mavs manage to win 4 games against them, right?

Yes

I only want to say that i prefer a Carlisle team plays the Finals over a midget soft and overrated team like the Celtics.
The Media gave us them like NBA Champions from day1 of this season. Bleah.

I don't know why, I just don't like Tatum. Overrated af.

Boston/Indy is over Boston is in the Finals. Haliburton may not even play again.

Boston fans in the general board are somewhat worried about Minnesota but against Dallas it's in the bag they're winning it all without a sweat.

To be fair, Mavs have not beat the Wolves yet, so maybe they're right

I think the Mavs likely took advantage of the Wolves being off a game 7.

Much like it feels like the team that wins the Mavs/Wolves series... will be at a great disadvantage.

If the Celtics don't win it all after all the breaks they got in the playoffs... then they'll be perpetually mocked.

What you said doesn't make any sense to what I said. I don't understand what you're saying. I said they're worried about Minnesota and not Dallas. That wasn't any prediction of Dallas beating Minnesota.

I'm not giving them that because we played one day before them. They were lucky to hit 18 3s or it's a blow out. During the regular season they averaged 12 makes per game, also we only hit 6 and we still won. They went to 7 but swept the first round so overall they played 11 playoff games before Game 1, we played 12.

That isn't to say they can't win tonight. I'm worried they will. It's hard to win both games 1 and 2 on the road.

Luka stats in road playoff games for his career: 33/8/8

Yeah could be. We'll see soon enough. But i hope Mavs defense will continue to be strong and 3pt averages balance out for them. So in that sense, just keep playing defense on KAT and ANT. Don't let role players get hot..

Celtics are an incredible all around team, i'll worry about them later (if we even get to that)

[ChipotleWest]

There was 1 person who didn't vote for Luka to be on first team all NBA. He put both Ant and Lebron there but not Luka. I can maybe understand Ant although still wrong, but Lebron really?

Same guy didn't have Luka top 5 MVP, he's from Europe probably some Real Madrid hate thing.

Just watched Celtics - Pacers Game 3.

Pacers have a possession with 9 seconds left & trailing just 1 point. But Rick Carlisle doesn't take a timeout then Pacers lose the ball in the rush... Jrue Holiday steals the ball & goes to the fts - scores both.

Then only 1.7 seconds left & losing 3 points Rick Carlisle decides to take a timeout. Such a brainfart by Rick there.

Why do you watch something that has been far determined?
As soon as I saw Hali was out, the series was OVER. So I didn't want to waste my time watching that crap. And yes Boston has the EASIEST route to the final in mankind history.

Cause these Celtics are barely beating Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam. Kyrie and Luka are gonna feast.

Pacers choked again. **** Carlisle.

[ozwizard8]

Jaylen Brown not getting Flagrant 1 or Flagrant 2 was so obnoxious. He does these moves against many teams. I remember Jaylen Brown 'accidentally' hitting Luka in Mavs games as well. His 'accidental' hitting to face contact always look well-balanced move. I never see Brown is actually losing his balance and accidentally hitting.

Brown clearly saw the T.J. McConnell and there were no ball there but he made sure to hit McConnell on head. And it wasn't a soft contact, he meant what he did.

Celtics, and their Boston media are super powerful. Refs afraid from them and they get calls until they start to non-stop choking.
It will be very hard Finals matchup with Boston Ref-tics

28th second. Jaylen Brown is confident that refs would not get him out of the game!

He should have been ejected. But we all know what he and the refs are doing in the locker room after the game.

Andrew Wiggins is made available this summer. I wonder if the Mavs could be in mix.

He is our man. Green+THJ+ a couple of 2nd.

Powell can drive the car to GS.

Wiggins is an obvious starter material in the nba, some bench player + expiring + 2nds wont get it done.

Jimmy Butler is also made available.
