He seemed to turn up clutchness while under painful duress vs OKC.

Tatum not showing up? Surprised Pikachu

Tough whistle for Lively.

That 8-0 run was a killer

Kyrie turning back the clock to 2019 against the bucks

Boston is eating them alive on defense.

Twas a fun little 3rd quarter run for the Mavs

Kyrie has been utterly brutal. Boston still living rent free upstairs all these years later.

Plossum · Post #250 » by **Plossum** » Fri Jun 7, 2024 2:22 am

Dallas cut it to 8 there and then didn't score for 4+ minutes. Brutal end.

Boston is so much better than Dallas. Get out the broomstick

Something about Kyrie looking godawful tonight feels just after how much he's been talked up the past two weeks (rightfully so).

Horst you read my posts to get Kornet as a Brook replacement ... why did you let him go ? Boston's Front Office is top tier , they fill the 10-15 roster spots with quality players.

Wonka · Post #254 » by **Wonka** » Fri Jun 7, 2024 2:54 am

Jrue is on his way to number two at least...if he gets a third, is he a HOFer? The media and NBA family has completely adopted him the last few years and he's a shoe-in for Defensive Team selections until he retires.

Boston getting Jrue + Porzingis in the offseason while our team has become a shelter for elders is irritating

I wish it didn't have to be this way for the same reasons.

F*** Boston!

Dallas in 5. QED.

I think without the context, I'd put Luka and Tatum first tier, and then Kyrie, Jrue, White, Brown, and Porzingis 2nd tier. But there are a lot of guys who randomly wilt, and Luka could randomly Wilt, so I think we could get a good series.

If it's a pickup game, I agree with you: definitely Luka and Kyrie first.

I love "wilt" as a verb in this way.

Heh. Never gave it much thought as when I was younger, I thought there was Houston. That's it.

Not the end of the world (yet) for Dallas. They've got to shoot better and figure out how to get their bench involved more. Put KP in trickier spots on D.

I would watch if MKE was involved.
