Luka on course for 40 playing on 1 leg and no back? Who else on the Mavs will show up?

Celtics can’t throw it in the ocean from deep after being unable to miss in the first half last game

You complained about this first game. Both were travels.

Playoff foul calls on rebound battles now... that's a bit unusual.

I think we should expect a lot of free throws this game, lots of stoppage.

We're still trying to figure out which Celtic is going to have the big night. We're fine.

Give the ball to your best player who is a top scorer and also your best at creating shots for others?

Guess Boston's plan for G2 is the same in G1, let Luka have his and stop everyone else (to simplify it). That could work again but hey have to make shots on the other end or Dallas can stick with them with this pace.

man here come the injury excuses for Luka not getting it done.


Bro, look at him. He’s clearly injured. I have no dog in this fight, I have reasons for wanting both teams to win so I don’t care what the result is. But you can clearly tell he’s hobbled.

You can go somewhere else if you don’t like facts.

Sprained knee was bad since the Clippers series. He was slow af.

Celtics have the individual defenders to make it hard enough for Luka in individual defense, even though he'll get his 30-40. It's a solid plan.

Waste of a foul by Kyrie. Ran Hauser off the three point line, but gotta get your money's worth on these fouls. Too important to the team offensively.

If traveling was called like it used to be, today's stars would lose more than half their points.

Brown dribbling for 15 seconds is ... not ideal.

Boston's starting lineup really isnt that great at 3 pt shooting

Jaylen Brown taking that Jason Kidd comment to heart. He's leading the players.
