Can Luka Stampede Through Chef's Poole Party To The Finals? | Mavs (#4) vs. Warriors (#3) WCF Thread

Difference in this series compared to Suns/Mavs is Wigs>>>>Crowder

Crowder had 2 good games the 1st 2 and was garbage after that

Lol @ that being the difference, Wiggs has been great but the Suns basically didn't have a point guard after game 2 and basically only one shot creater in Book who got doubled.

Sis history repeats itself and you see it too many times in sports especially the NBA. At the end of the day the Celtics have made it to the finals every decade except the 90s and that was due to the death of Bias and Lewis. Garnett fukking up his knee probably cost them from winning another ring with that team because Garnett was never the same.

In the NBA its the Lakers and Celtics who are the owners of the league and everyone else just paying rent.

Nah…Lakers wear that crown alone.

Werent you saying that Poole was better than Luka the other night?

That dude got severe mental issues, he needs to be on Reddit, I don't know how he found this board.

Luka deadass tried to flop when Wiggins put him on that poster too smh. Refs tried to save their boy but even they had to fall back lmaoo

Its fukking sad how bad that boy plays defense. Its like god gave this boy all the offensive basketball IQ he could give and then gave him the defensive basketball IQ of a ant.

Just fukking pathetic on defense...yuck!

This clearly ain't on Luka. He deserves a small amount of blame for his defense but the Mavs had some great looks all game and was just bricking everything. When a man puts up an efficient 40 like that and is setting the table he deserves some leeway on D. Same shyt I said about Jokic. Not every loss needs blame sometimes we just need to chill and just enjoy the game instead of rushing to the hot takes.

His usage rate is too much and he ends to get in shape

So we just gonna ignore the celtics 2 rings in the 70s, the 3 in the 80s.... . So like Len bias dying in the 80s and reggie lewis dying in the early 90s didn't set the franchise back for over a decade. You know the same franchise that won rings in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s....

Nobody in the east gonna keep up with GS shooting ..

Nah the east is gonna be some trouble

Given the recklessness of the dubs I can see heat be a problem

If dip plays like he did in g3 he's gonna be jacking warriors alot.

And celtics can be issue via the wing dynamic and size.

So IMO it won't be a cakewalk.

Suns vs Warriors would been a way better series

Unfortunately, Chris choose the wrong time to choke. The Suns underachieved miserably. We could have experience a classic series.

He really needs to focus on cardio and slimming down some. Just get to the point of not being a complete negative like Steph put in the work to do by getting stronger.

Let’s give curry his props, he’s dragging a post acl Klay and a no defense ass playing Poole to the finals

Naw this team is stacked and Curry been front running

 

[Hoodoo Child]

Also historically no one has beaten the Celtics in the finals, but the lakers and 1958 St. Louis Hawks.....

So they pretty much automatic when they get there.

Outside of the Lakers and Celtics no teams in the NBA have more than 6 championships. Right now the Bulls and Warriors are tied with 6. So lets see what happens...and whats more likely. The Celtics pass the Lakers with 18 championships or the Warriors being the first team outside of the Lakers and Celtics to win more than 6 rings.

The Celtics need this win more than anybody, if we wanna be honest . The league been on they ass about that 2008 chip, and now they're tied with The Lakers.

and when Slovenia calls for International comp, perhaps fall back for this summer and the next one.

Man, series ain’t been boring. Mavs was working these nikkas two nights ago, took a special run to pull that out and tonight was a decently close game, Mavs defense just wasn’t on.

This ain’t been three blowouts

the defense was fine they just didn’t secure the rebound after getting stops

Nah honestly he deserves alot of blame for his defense, he can't guard anybody. He's also piled up alot of points in the 4th the past 2 games when the Mavs are trailing and GSW is in prevent D. He needs to be scoring those points in the 3rd quarter, the outcome of both games might be different if he did.
