Dallas Floors Still Dirty, Celts Can't Sweep! NBA Finals G4 Loss vs DAL 4/14/24 (BOS leads 3-1)

[BigTrade92]

Worst loss in NBA Finals history.

History was certainly made tonight, but not the good kind.

All in all though, the goal was to split in Dallas and that was achieved. I’d rather take a loss like this than at the buzzer.

Burn the tape, internalize the embarrassment and get ready to return the favor in Boston on Monday.

[CelticsPride18]

Weak effort and performance. On Monday focus on the game instead of the refs

[LarryBirdsFingr]

Old habits and choker mentality has reared its head.

It's all in their heads. Get that right and you win.

[Marvel]

Dallas was absolutely all over Boston from the opening seconds.

I’m not gonna say I’m worried but I’m concerned because Dallas has figured out something out And have lockdown Boston for 5 straight quarters.

If they don’t end this on Monday, I’m gonna be legitimately concerned

What do you think they've figured out? What did you see?

Other than the run they went on in the 4th quarter of game 3 and almost pulled out the W and then proceeding to blow them out with the 3rd biggest losing margin in finals history? Not much to be honest.

They look like they’re double teaming, Tatum and brown at times. They’re clogging the paint making it difficult for Boston to score inside there.

On top of that, the perimeter defense has been stellar

Why did those things happen? What did they figure out?

[Larry_Russell]

**** happens.

A finals sweep and 11 straight playoffs wins doesn't happen.

Win in 5 does though

[PierceFan4ever]

Better end this on Monday and they all better show some damn life and passion. That was pathetic from everyone tonight

[NYCelticsfan136]

This is a prime example as to why the media hates this team and likes to criticize them. That was a ****. Better show up for game 5.

They've been clogging the paint the whole series. They've overloaded on Tatum the whole series.

They played way better perimeter defense tonight. But that doesn't really constitute as figuring anything out.

Without KP, Boston has to play their best to win in game 5. Guys took the night off. I didn't expect that from Jrue, White and Al.
If Boston doesn't win game 5, there is a good chance they don't get number 18.

Without KP, Boston didn't play well against average teams with top their top players out. We won a lot of close games. Dallas has a healthy squad. Boston doesn't have KP for the rest of the series. It's going to take an all out effort for Boston to win game 5. We have no bench.

Probably realized the Celtics 3 pointers has been ass for awhile so why not gamble more in the paint. Celtics need to have a better performance from 3. That’s their main strength and we haven’t seen them at their best offensively

Okay joe.

[DorianRo]

Gave Dallas confidence. This could be a first if Boston isn't careful. They better take care of business Monday.. Cause if it gets to a Game 7 anything can happen

[return2glory]

Lively and Gafford have come alive in the last two games without KP guarding the paint. Queta is the only player outside of KP that can be a factor against them, but Joe won't play him.

[bigboi]

It seemed like they threw the game tbh. But nba seeming rigged if that’s the case. Luka was walking to the rim. Players just walking everywhere. Completely went away from the previous gameplan

Okay joe.

Well, if you think they have, by all means share your knowledge with us.

The first and second part are true.. But on top of that The effort.
Or lack thereof considering the stakes was shocking. And pathetic all in one..
