Well, maaaaybe if you had your feet set while the opponent was still two paces away ...


That 6th foul was a little shaky the more I watch it. But Kidd cannot continue to let Jaylen attack him in isolation. I get that it tends to bog down our offense, but even if he doesn't get in foul trouble, it just tires Luka out.

I look at that play and think bang bang play on.....but once reviewed it's just technically a block.



Luka caught JB with his knee making JB fall to the floor
JB changed his course to the left at the right time resulting in a foul

Luka should be fined for the 'cash money' gesture to the refs though

He suffered a pretty brutal injury to his chest/ribs in game 1. In the regular season (and maybe some playoff games) he wouldn't be playing these last couple of games.

He didn't have a great game but let's not be as tasteless as that Jonah Hill lookalike Brian Windhorst.

I don't want to be like arrogant Lakers or Miami flogs. Celebrate our wins without disparaging/insulting our opponents (although granted my experience on twitter is Mavs fans are awful lol)

I don't even hate Kyrie anymore

The Basketball Gods are finally looking down kindly upon us. Still can't believe it. One win to go.

Windhorst was spot on.

Luka needs to hear the criticism of his whining, lack of defense and conditioning if he wants to make the most of his talent.

Nothing at all to feel sorry for Luka about IMO. I don't even hate him or Kyrie (anymore), but neither of them warrant any pity.


We had the same criticism of JT for constantly whining to the refs. His growth is shown also in this regard.
While he is still whining to the refs too much (some of it true - a couple of And 1s that he should have gotten), he sprints to defense, not leaving his teammates 5 on 4.
Luka did it at least a couple of times in the last game

He needs to mature and take responsibility of his play (I hope he remains a spoiled whining child though)

I don't think its a coincidence that he cut that **** down once Marcus left.

I take back my Jaylen criticism. He's grown tremendously these playoffs. I won't trade him for Luka.

Doncic’s entire bag starts with him just charging the defender with this head or chest.

The foul might have been as close as a fifty fifty call but I can’t bring myself to even care about defending it. I mean, how about when Doncic literally charges his head into Tatum’s crotch?? Lol.

Predictably, general thinks we won only because of the refs, Luka injury, and also it's the worst finals ever because the Mavs were hopelessly outmatched and the Nuggets would've beat us.

The rabid ones.
Surprisingly enough, some are conceding our supremacy.

Good breakdown of Cs offensive attack and how it's straining the vaunted Dallas D (top defense since early March or whatever).

We absolutely dog-walked the competition through the entire playoffs, with Jaylen as arguably our best player, and he's still acting like he's been right all along. He's even willing to promote the idea that this is "not a real championship". Yeah, we got lucky with some matchups, but every championship team has something "lucky" you can point to.

Since Jaylen, according to him, "already cost us a few titles" he'll never be wrong, at least in his mind. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to diagnose narcissism, but certainly egomania.

One win away! So excited. Went to bed last night so happy for Tatum, Brown and Horford being right on the cusp of winning their first championship.

Not going to lie, I really wish Marcus Smart was part of this experience. Smart played a huge role over the last 6-7 years. Should be remembered.

Let’s Go Celtics!!!!!!!!!!

Just spitballing here, but I have a firm belief that Joe Mazzulla's relative youth and somehow eccentric and unconventional personality is a major part for this team's incredible tight and close chemistry, even if it's the most talented in the NBA.
But especially he and Brad have seemed to have totally supported Jaylen (Brown) and how he conducts himself on and off court.

Jaylen is a major reason why banner #18 will be raised to out rafters.

Our culture and coaching staff have really helped nurture and develop JB into a legit top 10/15 player in the league.

Mavs fans complaining that Luka doesn't get any calls is borderline insane?! Dude pushes off on every drive, gets away with extending his arm every time. Move your legs on D Doncic, maybe you wont foul out LOL. WE WANT A SWEEP!

Return to Boston Celtics
