Continued from here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2382802

The original thread was going to pass 100 pages in the 1st quarter of Game 1 so I made a new one now. Voting results for the series can be seen in the 1st thread. Enjoy the big game, everyone!

Lmao. You had to start another thread because there was too much in the pre series thread. A lot of us have been waiting for this day, though

Finally here, hooray. Good luck to all the Mavs fans out there, even if we've had some heated back-and-forths the past week, I have no ill will.

Going to try to stay off this forum and my phone for the game so that I can focus in. May also take a few days off from this forum or even the whole series so I don't get sucked into the hot takes that will surely happen on a daily basis. Good luck!

Here’s hoping both teams stay healthy throughout. Best of luck to both fanbases. Let’s NBA
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Luka combines for 40/15/10 + 3 steals, 17 "wtf" stares at referies and 35 random trashtalks with fans in the first rows.
PJ adds 5 threes.
Lively goes nuclear in the paint.
No worries, game 2 all three of them channel their inner playoff Embiid.

bft ... this has got to be the longest break between series ever and it's not good. If they're going to have this long ass break they may as well do a runner up series so at least there's basketball to talk about or watch.

Mavs will split the first two games. Celtics may get 1 blowout win but every other game will be within 10 points and Mavs win in 6.

Will be interesting to see if the players have any rust after resting for so long. Might take a good quarter to get settle!

It will be ugly basketball early for sure. But at least we have 2 healthy teams for the most part.

The Luka/Kyrie vs Tatum/Brown duo's will be key. I think the Mavs duo have to have a better series to win this championship. Celtics are the deeper team.
