Really playing physical on the drive. He needs to slow down and make the play.

The Mavs supporting cast will shoot poorly more than they will shoot well. They're just not that good. The Celtics just have to sustain that one game or two.

Mavs should try Hardaway Jr and pray he has a hot streak for them this series.

Ripped by Doncic, turnover

Leads to Mavs buckets.

You tell me he's our best American player? Nah don't disrespect my country like that. We have much better talent.

This. Just imagine a prime AD with this roster.

Brown

He’s also drawing a lot of pressure so more mistakes.

16 point lead but feels like danger zone for the Celtics-- if they give hope to this Dallas team this second half that's certainly going to trickle over the next game and especially when series moves to Dallas. Boston MUST win by 20 or more.

I’m still pissed at the Nuggets blowing a 20 pt lead in game 7.

This is the first team he's played against in these playoffs that has played 5-out. Even OKC still put Dort and Giddey in the dunker's spot if Chet was on the perimeter.

A big reason the effects in the Star Wars prequels don't hold up too well.
