NBA FINALS, Gm 4 – Celtics (3) @ Mavericks (0) – 8:30PM, Fri, June 14, 2024

[Celts17Pride]

This is Dallas championship. Let them celebrate

[Larry_Russell]

As some have pointed out, Mavs have somehow figured out how to play the Celtics in the last 5 or 6 straight quarters (and Lively was saying as much in his interview). If that is truly the case, which we'll be able to confirm in game 5, I'll be holding my breath in anticipation until then.

If it's that easy then other teams would have done it.

Don't be foolish.
Celtics beat the celtics.

Celtics beat themselves today, refs helped, then dallas

Other that that dallas won a single quarter against Boston.

[Kalela]

Pathetic loss. I can see this series going to 7 games with how much these guys shrink sometimes.

[bigboi]

Can Tell that some posters are going to have a heart attack with the massive overreacting to a bad game.

Celtics are up 3-1. Lost 1 road game all playoffs. Coming off 10 straight wins and guys acting like they are on verge of being swept.

Jeez guys and gals. Go have a drink, watch a funny movie, hug your spouse, puff a joint, rub one out...

Whatever it takes to just let it go.

Bad loss, lost focus, regroup, all will be fine.

No excuse to come out like this. All this coping you’re doing is silly

Celtics can definitely beat themselves 3 more games in a row though. Unlike actual proven championship teams, we know the J's are capable of it.

Man, if these dudes start getting selfish just to try to win the finals mvp mannnn

[PierceFan4ever]

I don't get why Tatum is smiling. That's not a "we gave you this one, we'll get the next" smile either.

He needs to **** wake up. If I’m not seeing double digit rebounding from JT then he’s not locked in

[TheMartian]

Weeny Hut Porzingis better play starter minutes in Game 5. If we don't win that game we WILL find a way to choke away this series.

Might do more harm than good if they let KP play. They said he'll play today. We never saw even a shadow.

[The Corey's]

I said Celtics in 5. I'll be back to collect my flowers on Monday.

But that's just it. I've lost count of how many times the Celtics beat themselves, including Finals games (circa '22). Not discounting the possibility because anything's possible.

[Parasite]

The team that has won like 14 straight games and is a game from the title deserves to have the absolute **** criticised out of them.

Great take.

Yes. They do. I’m sorry. What title have they won? Here’s a hint. They haven’t won ****. Know what they HAVE done though? Repeatedly? Played like absolute **** on the biggest stage. Time and time again. So miss me with your pearl clutching dude.

Dude is a clown. This game would’ve been fine as a loss if it were at least close at some points. I can’t rock with a team playing like they don’t care. This dude Tatum was literally fouling like he dgaf to be in the game and looking at the ref every 2 seconds

Yeah that really was my point. A loss in this game? Ok. But how did you play? Oh you played like you couldn’t give a **** and it’s the NBA finals? Yeah, prepare to get roasted. This team deserves every ounce of criticism coming its way.

NBA gonna get in trouble with their product if it’s like this moving forward. Too many blowouts these playoffs. Again I honestly think Boston threw this game. Nothing they did made sense. Tatum was acting very weird as well

[zoyathedestroya]

No team has gone undefeated on the road since postseason format was changed to 7-7-7-7.
No team has swept the conference finals and Finals in the same season.
No team has gone 22-7 or better on the road in 3-postseason span.
No team has scored at least 100 pts and held opponent under 100 pts in 4 straight Finals games.
No Celtics team has swept in the Finals since 1959.
No coach age 36 or under has won 80% of their games (incl. playoffs).

Cs can make history here.

Narrator: No history was made by the Celtics.

It's apparently not that easy to make history.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Who the **** cares about winning at home or away? This is not a regular season game. This is the Finals. You don't give a chance to the opponent. You finish him off. Cut this crup nonsense and get your **** together for G5.

Dominate teams do.

Yeah, keep believing this fairy tale **** you're saying. There ain't nothing like that. Do you think the Bulls cared about this ****? Or the Warriors? Or the Lakers? **** NO!! Cut this **** bull.

The Warriors got blown out in Cleveland in 2017

[GrandTheftRondo]

Acting like they didn’t give a **** in an NBA finals game is **** laughable.

And you call me a clown LMAO

They were literally walking on defense in this game since the tip. Does that seem like a team that gives a crap? Again you’re a clown

Personal attacks are not allowed. Disagree with the post but don't insult the poster. -b

[KingofTheClay]

Put your goddamn team on your back FOR ONCE THIS PLAYOFFS, Tatum

[Bad-Thoma]

My wife and her best friend are going to a Gino Vannelli concert this month. Who is Gino Vanelli you ask? He is the Gino of the Gino time t-shirt.



Pretty sure this is the reason we are this good and about to win a championship.

By concert you mean you booked him for a weekend bbq? There's no way Gino is still commanding his own crowds in 2024. Unless we're talking about the crowds during garbage time of Celtic blowouts.

It's apparently a thing. I don't know how big the crowds are, I don't think it's quite a stadium venue.
