Last 6 minutes of the 3rd quarter might be the most important in the game

Dallas -15 in the four minutes Luka hasn’t played
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Dallas has already abandoned the defensive scheme that they used to beat OKC and Minny. Boston's shooting requires more respect.

I need a shaver that gets as close to the scalp as Derrick White's does.

Luka just screams at minimal contact like Pau Gasol used to and gets the call most of the time. Lame.

Celtics have trouble scoring inside. If their 3s don't fall, not sure what they can do. Luka actually doing a good job defensively on Tatum when he guards him. If Mavs lose this game, they can really build on game 2.

Why did Derrick Jones go one on three?

What about basketball, Derrick?

Celtics forcing one-on-one play is the pretty much the story of the game.
