I'd say we've played an A-game on defensive side both times. B- on offense G1 and C+ in G2. Shots just didn't fall in G2.

Jrue has the inside track on Finals MVP.

JB with that subtle push on the back. :lol: I like things like that because it burns the Celtics haters even more. Anyway good win. I didn't realize the Mavs were even worse from three than the Celtics. And they shot like Ben Simmons from the free throw. lol

Only won by 7? Pathetic, blow this **** up in the offseason.



Voted for Jrue and team for cp. OMG that block by White made my night.

Live look at MIL fans watching Jrue go 11-14 in the finals -

White and Jrue made all the big plays on both ends at the ends of the game. JB with the elite finish at the end. We have too much two-way talent but Tatum needs to abandon his outside shot and just attack the rim the rest of the series. He can play make on offense and play elite defense.

He's definitely got a shot although JB is the favorite imo.

This is true. And Dallas went at him all night long.

Tatum was getting mugged on his drives but didn’t get a single call on his drives

Tatum isn't playing like garbage.

He is, however, scoring like garbage.


When you have Maxi Kleiber on you one on one and you immediately pass the ball away, that's a garbage decision for an elite scorer on offense. And some of his kick-outs were unnecessary and led to worse percentage shots than if he just shot them. He is facilitating, but his decisions on when to score are still very shaky.

Mavs probably have no chance.



JT had a great all around game, except shooting.
12 assist, 9 rebounds, good defense. Made the right decision almost any play
The last two minutes were not great, but I think he was fouled a couple possessions

The defense we are playing is definitely the biggest factor in this series. Tatum deserves most of the credit but everybody is contributing on that end.

What are you doing letting KP run back and forth after he already fell and grimaced standing up? Call a timeout and pull him out!! I will fight the rest of the coaching staff too for not saying a word.

I hate this so much! I was yelling at my screen to get him out. Foul, timeout, whatever. We still need to win 2 more games. Can without him, but man, no reason to let him hobble around like that,

3 ball wasn’t falling all night, def a struggle! A sign of a great team is winning even when you’re not at your best. Great team D to clinch game 2! Jrue was a dawg tonight and one of the few that knows how to cut to the basket and not just sit at the 3 pt line. Take game 3 in Dallas and they will fold!

Indiana should get more credit that offense is so **** difficult to guard.
