Just noticed this but the Celtics home arena doesnt constantly play songs during the game and probably doesnt have a DJ. Wish all the arenas went back to that.

They need to get Irving in some mismatches. Boston’s length is really bothering him. Mavs also need another player to step up.

The Celtics are shooting 71% from 2. If they hit their 3s, DAL is getting blown out in every game.

Boston 6 of 30 from three. Up nine.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Feels like the Mavs could do a better job getting some other guys going. Boston’s D has something to do with it too of course.

DAL needs to seriously reconsider Kyrie as a second option. Dude is called the most skilled player ever. He is a 2nd option he should be averaging at least 30 ppg in this series


He might play better in Dallas like a role player LOL. He's clearly dealing with a metal block.

It's so weird to see this. Like I'm watching a shell of a player who was good merely 10 days ago

That was an insane pass by Luka, like it curved in the air to PJ.

Boston is significantly better defensively than Minnesota
