2024 NBA FINALS: #1 Boston Celtics vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (BOS leads 2-0)

[kacey ring]

Imagine for a second, just one second, that this Mavs team goes down 0-3, but then becomes the first team to come back from 0-3.

I think NBA fans around the world are ready to see that happen.

Let’s make some history, Adam Silver!

If Dallas goes down 0-3 they are not coming back, especially with two possible games in Boston. I personally will be shocked if Dallas goes down 0-3.

C’mon, I know you want to witness history!!

Tatum getting too much credit from his nuthuggers, and too much hate from the mentally ill Celtic haters. His defense, rebounding playmaking have been very good. All those things have a big impact on winning. However, his shot-making has been ass and borderline embarrassing. His decision-making at the end of games is the most concerning thing moving forward. In yesterday's game, he attacks the rim with under a minute left up 5. I like the attack but then he flails and throws some soft bs up which led to a fast break. He really has no move he can go to in the paint and is always looking for a foul call to bail him out. If not for White's chase down, it would have been a 3 pt lead at that point. I don't trust him in those moments because he plays with no force. It's hard to watch over and over. Overall, I would give him a B- so far but I can't blame people when they say Boston is a hard watch.

This is exactly where I fall lol. He is getting way too much of a pass from the fans and way too much irrational and often times factually wrong hate from the haters.

Bottom line is this, Tatum has shot like absolute ass and he needs to shoot better. No, the defense swarming him is not a good excuse to shoot 27% from the field. As if other stars don't deal with this. Weak, WEAK excuse... On the other hand, no, Tatum has not played poorly overall. To say otherwise is just you admitting that the only way you judge how well or poorly a player has played is how well they shot the ball and how many points they had. Very casual and wrong way to judge that. There are so many other things that goes into winning a basketball game than just that. And Tatum has excelled at everything else but that so far. He deserves hate for his abysmal shooting but not for his overall play.

I don't know why Mavs fans thought those guys were going to contain the Celtics.

It was disrespectful to think the Celtics wouldn't perform better than the 3 teams they faced.

Not just the fans but the media bought into it.

When you're getting almost 30 from Jrue it really should bring into focus just how deep this team is.

Eh that isn't disrespectful. Whats disrespectful is the outright claiming that PJ Washington, Lively and Jones Jr are better defenders than Jrue or White. That's disrespectful haha

You don't find it disrespectful that they thought they would roll over you like you're Phoenix or OKC? lol

They found out if wasn't gonna be that easy.

No. It was a dumb opinion but thats not whats disrespectful. Whats disrespectful is passing off an opinion as fact when it has no logic attached to it.

i just voted for mavs to win game 2
