This is what JT should’ve done against Kyrie’s contest for layup like brown did to Derrick jones jr. Also double Luka, he’s the only one that’s cooking for them

Hauser with a great board there. Leads to a Tatum three and picks 5e lead back up. Love the hustle the last few possessions, and a killer block for Brown.

Why wasn't Jrue being guarded by Jrue at the beginning of this game? I get the slight height difference but Jrue is more than capable of checking Luka

On pace for 52 three pt FGAs … I wonder what is the record in a Finals game… I would feel better if we were attacking from every area on the court

JB playing with force. Got two fouls off Lively and that drive that led to Tatum three. Keep at it. Dallas playings small.

Horford shot like 60% from the three in the 2022 finals.



Who cares. He lost it for us.

These Dallas dudes just go up for dunks like they don't even see defenders around them.

This ain’t even on Joe. Dudes are legit pissing themselves right now. Absolutely embarrassing.


It's on Joe for not making an adjustment.


The adjustment was for everybody to grow a pair. Attack the friggin paint this teams perimeter defenders are garbage. You get by one guy and they are in rotation and ****.
