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

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Idk if I can ever see a 0-3 comeback happening in the NBA. Human nature kicks in right, because the losing team is like damn even if we win one it's over anyway. Then the winning team is like we don't want to be shown up being the first ever team to lose a 3-0 deficit in the NBA Finals. The team that's up has too comfortable a lead to where even if they drop a game here, which the Celtics did last night, you think well we only need one more and they need 3 more. And the Celtics are just too good a team to lose another game, let alone 4 straight to this Mavs team.

It'd have to be a scenario of where EVERYTHING went wrong for team that was up 3-0.

The best chance of it ever possibly happening was last year with the Celtics and even then, they eventually ended up running out of gas at the end.

I'll never understand why people think a team winning the 4th game after being down 3-0 is enough for them to think that they'll come back to eventually win the series.

All streaks end, is it possible here? PROBABLY not, but the Celtics have been known to choke.

I’m rooting for Boston, it’s fk Dallas everyday and twice on Tuesday. I also want to see old man Horford finally get one after years of heartbreaks on that team.

Not wishing it, but if an additional key player went down for Boston, it goes from possible to likely.

Yeah agreed on that. That'd be the only possible chance for a 0-3 comeback to happen.

The Celtics just lost their first game in a month and their first road game in two months, why are we even entertaining a conversation about the Mavs winning four in a row

Now if they win G5 then sure but we’ve all been watching long enough to know that the team down 0-3 coming out desperate to win G4 to then lose in G5 happens all the time. We’ve already seen it twice this year with the Lakers & Wolves

Let’s watch and see, that was a pretty epic dismantling the Mavs just did. If they reapply the same formula and Porzingis remains out while this heads back to Dallas….there is def an opening for an epic collapse.

I’m actually excited to see game 5 now knowing the series rides basically on that game. Dallas gets 5 I see it going 7.

This was a perfect storm for Dallas where everything that could go wrong for the Celtics went wrong and everyone who touched the floor for the Mavs contributed

Great performance from them but I’m not banking on either team playing like that again

It’s not going to happen, so it shouldn’t even be a topic of discussion.

Posters do this discussion every single year, yet the outcome is still the same.

I agree but Mavs figured something out when they came back in Game 3. Without KP, they may figured something out.

However, Holiday, White and Brown not all gonna have bad games like that in a row.

 

[im not you]

celtics havent been playing that well in this series. wouldnt be surprised if it goes 6

 

[Jplaya2023]

Teams blatantly throwing finals games on tv kills credability of this product. It was obvious from jump boston was selling.

 

[Surreal]

If we can take game 5, we're winning the series/Finals

 

[Raquinotj]

And still not top 5

Who’s your top 10? Bulls fans had Zach Lavine ahead of Tatum at one point and were questioning why people put Tatum ahead of Lauri Markkanen when he was a member of the Bulls.

Even if they did, it's too late to capitalize on it and come back and win the series.

It was a wrap once they lost game 3.

My top 10 doesn't matter. He's not in the top 5
