It’s insane how much the Celtics at least starting lineup is loaded

Poor White decision. Had the pass to KP who had the mismatch but over thought it and TOd it. Rare. But he's barely touched the ball here, too.

I knew it was going to be White and Holiday that gave Luka and Kyrie the most trouble.

Is Jones good? He looks like a sub role player tonight.

Kyrie has to play better, he's been an utter disappointment considering his reputation in the finals... He needs to step the **** up and stop smiling out there lol

I agree. You cant depend on consistent 3 point shooting from the Celtics. The mavs are going to start making some of these shots.

Kyrie Irving is still spooked playing against Boston. He missed some good looks that would’ve gave the Celtics trouble. Mavs aren’t winning anything if Kyrie isn’t performing as good as JB is for the Celtics

My HC is the assistant HC for Boston.

It's possible we will have a championship HC in Charlotte next season. 8-)

Luka looks like he gained 8 pounds since last week.

Very gassed, no lift, careless passes, etc.

Still, I absolutely believe he will smell blood and go for the kill somewhere down the series.
