Test Luka on defense. Even banged up he's getting buckets but he should be bad at defending.

I can live with that.

I actually think that the Celtics will pummel them by at least 30.
I can live with 20, though.

Nobody will care if we win. Nobody questioned the warriors 1st chip against the cavs without Love and Kyrie. Nobody questioned the Raps chip without KD and Klay in the finals. Just win and **** all the haters.

I’m expecting this actually. While the Mavs can play better, we can actually play even better as well. Tatum played bad, and pritchard won’t miss all of his shots as well.

This cake is so impressive that both Steve Bulpett and Dallas writers have posted about it.

Sorry but I don't have any scientific proof, But my belief is fat Chunky Out of shape players will tend to get hurt more often than in shape players..

Edit The only fat Chunky out of shape players I can think of recently is Zion..

Case closed :o :nod:

Sometime going forward, Queta's going to be a rotation guy.

Eh. Rondo used to nail threes in shootaround too. He'd hit a bunch in a row.

a curb stomp performance by the c's would be more than welcomed to put all the doubters in their place. 3 wins from the title, this is not the time to let down their guard at home.

go up 2-0 & then be prepared for a major fight in game 3, which would probably be one of the tougher games we've played all year since going up 3-0 on the road is usually extremely hard to do.

I hope he doesn't shoot 3s.. His biggest Impact will be near the Rim. Ala R Williams-Kornet-Lively-Gafford-Gobert etc.. Vertical Spacing matters as well!!

You can file this post under "who gives a F" But I am running to Home Depot because I can't sit around and wait for this game to start anymore.

I can’t believe Luka is terrified of the Sam Hauser hammer

Ngl this is actually the first game of the playoffs where I feel a bit nervous. Every other game I expected us to win. This one here I could see going either way. I still don’t fully trust this team..hope they prove me wrong today. If they play the right way there’s not much Dallas can do to hang..even with Luka going crazy.
WHAT THEY GON’ SAY NOW? ‎ THANK YOU TRUTH!

Because the league absolutely wants and needs do
Dallas to win this game They have great ratings and they wanna keep it that way A boston blowout will definitely not help that cause

With gambling legal there's no way NBA is fixed anymore.
