It’s disgusting how much the media is trying to tear this team down. They’re desperately trying to put JB & JT against each other out of nowhere. There’s no evidence to support them not liking each other this year, so this is complete bs reporting

Gotta find something to be upset about. Really dumb reporting on this team. If you can’t see the joy on Jaylen’s face when we won MVP and Tatum smiling and geeking out, throwing the ball up at the end of the game idk what to tell you.

I will admit their brand of ball is not always my favorite but there are zero chemistry issues on this team. From Al taking a bench role, to Jaylen being the vocal leader minus Smart to Tatum being Tatum, for better or worse.

Hmmmm!

Lol even from the sidelines Hart is trying to mess with the Celtics. Everyone and their dog trying to create disharmony in the locker room.

I love Derrick, but we’d see the answer to this if he was the one getting constant double teams.

Joe likes to hunt mismatches on offense, we need to just attack Luka or Kyrie every time down the floor. I mean, who can they stop out of our starters? No one.

The Mavs will not try to stop the Celtics.

What they will do is try to outgun the Celtics.

The Mavs defense looks good when trying to defend guys like Gobert.

That Mavs defense is just similar to the Pacer defense.

It's nothing special.

Unless something weird happens like Gafford becoming Stormy Daniel Gafford. :lol:

100%. Attack Luka and Kyrie and get them in foul trouble or tire they're their legs out. They have nothing after those two.

Mavericks like to protect the rim and the Celtics like to shoot 3s.

Its been like that every team we face. We can attack herro everytime. We can attack garland, haliburton or Mcconnel, yet we never do that, and just keeps on chucking 3’s as our priority. I’ll believe it when i see it.

We owe Kyrie some bigtime payback for Celtics playoff losses in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021.

Its pretty funny that the media is trying to establish a revenge motive for Kyrie (why on earth would he need revenge for quitting on the team and then stomping on lucky)

Lots of potential 1st time champions this coming June -- if Mavs win (they won't), it's everyone except Kyrie. For the Celtics, it's everyone besides Jrue. No more significant than Al Horford finally winning one.
