Thumbs up to Luka ..... he was sprinting up court before Boston could set up their half court defense . He did an end to end drive for the SCORE !

Alright. One in the bag.

You just need to win one more away game. And one more home game. Then it's game 7.

Game 5 is really crucial, after that Celtics will feel enormous pressure and Mavs having all the momentum. Celtics have a great team, but they don't have superstar, who can turn momentum around. Tatum is known choker. They have home court and safe lead in game 5. After that things change a lot. Mavs winning is still unlikely, but if they can pull off a win in game 5 ...

Mazulla is already feeling the need to close it out in game 5. If he lets game 5 slip, then the series go back to Dallas, it will be harder to close it there. If it reaches a game 7, it's basically a coin flip there.

One road game. One home game. And we're even.

Pressure on Boston to close it out so I expect them to pull out everything for Game 5.

Mavs are playing with house money. 5th seed losing in the finals is acceptable. Top team like Boston with 4 stars choking 4 straight, they will never hear the end of it. So I expect them to try and do everything to avoid that scenario.

Gentlemen sweep. The worst case scenario.
They humiliated us another time again.

Wow Luka Doncic is a good tester for some scientific research... 2 days ago he was injuried, fat and can "barely move", now he is come back the best player in the league.

That's insane.

It's kinda controversial knowing how good team Celtics have, but I would say Celtics are prime candidates for history to be made. There's no way Mavs could have a chance to do it against, Jokic, prime Curry, LeBron...

Disclaimer,

Celtics still have 90% to win it. I'm just talking about hope.

Kidd left Tatum, White and Holiday guard our bigs for 3 game without attack them and make pay them the size different. I wrote here dozens of time.

Bad coaching by a stupid and slow coach.

We lost the NBA Finals against a team with just granny Horford and crystal body Porzingis as bigs.
It's a shame.

On the Boston board ,they are very concerned about Dallas's size on rebounding and paint scoring and see game 5 as a must game or Boston will be in trouble.
Rebounding and paint scoring is a bigger topic on their board than the Dallas board.

Somehow, I like Luka scoring in the paint more than shooting stepback 3 pointers just like this game.

It's a new world. Everything is instant. Narrative changes overnight. Luka started slow against Clippers, but his playoffs are exceptional. Mavs being in the Finals is a Cinderella story. Media just searching for something to sell to a stupid buyers.

I just said the same thing. Luka at 250 lbs. Can push their guards in the paint. Rather than shooting stepback 3 pointers, this might be the way to go.

Kyrie can do the funniest thing ever and drop 45 and a W in Boston in game 5. MJ style.

Ditto this .... my son commented right away Luka was as big as Tilman ,Boston's backup Center when he took Tilman over and over into the paint.

If you quote like everyone else, we can see notification that you quoted us and can give you an adequate answer. ;)
Don't you think it's strange that you're the only person who doesn't know how to quote?

If I choose Luka biggest strength it's his finishing at the rim, but he has to keep the threat of the 3 to prevent constantly going under the screen.
Defense wins draft lotteries!
