Ebony & Ivory with Burning Sage vs. Lucky Charms & Unicorns Colliding on Flat Earth | Official Mavericks (#5) vs. Celtics (#1) 2024 NBA Finals Thread

[I AM WARHOL]

Got the Mavs in this one. Celtics go 2-15 to start from 3. Can’t get right after that

I said they start 2-15. They’ve started 2-14. And it still hasn’t mattered even with a Luka masterclass. Dallas better pray they steal this game or it might be a quick series. Still got Dallas in this one tho cause if it’s close in the fourth I’m trusting Luka and Kyries shotmaking

Tatum 6-10 with no post game footwork? Nikka you missed 10 shots in a row get something easy inside and get fouled

 

[<<TheStandard>>]

I remember the criticism Steph Curry got in 2015 for having a series where the Cavs were determined not to let Curry beat them & Iguodala & GS benefited from his gravity. During that series Steph averaged 26, 5 and 6.


Tatum is having a homeless man's version of that series.

I'd add

People gave Steph HELL for that series and yet somehow Celtics fans think Tatum is immune to criticism for this, despite all the things he's doing well.

All things considered, Dallas should feel okay. Only down three with just three guys giving them anything. Meanwhile, even though Boston isn't hitting threes, they're getting contributions from everybody.

Time to watch 45 seconds of analysis with 15min of commercials

It always blows my mind when people try to put Tatum in that top 5/superstar category.He's somewhere between Paul George & Devin Booker.2nd tier guy.This might touch a few folks.

A lot of the "i modeled my game after Kobe" guys end up right there

 

[LurkMoar]

This mavs roster is really just Luka and kyrie plus a bunch of bums, and brown is outplaying kyrie right now

 

[ALonelyDad]

WTF is tatum doing?

That Finals was Exhibit A in how stupid most fans/analysts are. That will forever be the worst Finals MVP vote in history and everybody involved in that should never have an NBA vote again.

Booker is better

I'd even take a prime PG over dude he been overrated

 

[mozichrome]

Bia is performing at halftime. how many Boston folks you think actually rocking with her

 

[Don Homer]

who tf still cares about "the brat pack"?

 

[klientel]

I expected Kyrie to attack more. He’s probably the best finisher in the league and impossible to stay in front of.

He can get to the rim anytime he wants and settles for fade aways. It’s frustrating

 

[Big Boss]

Damn man. Tatum is just wack, huh?
