I knew dumbass Rudy punching Luka was going to come back to him, stupid ass

 

[the elastic]

Wow, people still think because it's not 1950 with no black and white pictures, that racism isn't the same as 2024

That's adorable

Talk

That reversed call on the out of bounds play was egregious and I'd be livid If it happened to my Mavs, should have been FTs for McDaniel.
Gaff offensive foul on Conley too.
Also the putback dunk call was technically right but refs rarely call it that tight and let the hometeam get away with things like that (whole other discussion.)

But the Wolves were living at the FT line on some weak shyt and Ky, Luka and even Hardy were getting hit with no foul calls. I think PJ also had a shot goaltended with for no call too (would have been short though.)

 

[Rasille]

Minnesota let me down man

Shaq fat ass should be the last person dumping on someone being tired or fatigued when his ass was always coming into camp out of shape.

I don't disagree but Shaq would argue come postseason time he was always ready to go. He did that frequently in response to his poor FT shooting.

Just heard in the thread he has asthma

might explain it, but why was he so energized in Denver then ?

I just think they crowned him too early

It wasn't until after this L that I even knew Ant had asthma I fukks with him as much as the next breh but this excuse making needs to end.

Luka and Kyrie are going to kill the drop coverage. The question is if Washington, Gafford, Lively, Jones, Hardaway, Hardy... guys who've had moments in these playoffs can shine on the biggest stage.

I trust the Celtics more though.

What have the C's shown us in the past several postseasons that makes you trust them at all? Mavs in 6.

As Bo is prone to say...."14 feet of sucka."

I think talent will win out

It’s the Cs year

[GoldenGlove]

He hasn’t posted since the Nuggets won the championship

He's a huge Kidd detractor, that's why I said that

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

There is no point

That play didn't benefit either team

That particular play absolutely benefited the Mavs. But that is not the point.

Nah u wilin. The Mavs big two is light years ahead of the C's big two. We've already seen Tatum play like trash in the Finals. Nobody is game planning for Jalyn Brown. I believe the Mavs are a mentally tougher team as well. While I agree the C's have more overall talent, it takes more than talent to win it all.

 

[get these nets]

I still believe in Ant. His even keeled persona helps him when they are on the ropes.

Still rooting for the Mavs, cause I want to see Coach Kidd win.

 

[GunRanger]

Draymond is a generational hater. He dances after Luka stepback

 

[dubsmith_nz]

Man I can't believe Ant didn't back himself to score on those last 2 possessions. You could tell he lost his confidence with those shaky ass passes.

If we get a confident Ant and Kat we can still win but shyt isn't looking good.

Luka is really showing out.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Assuming both teams healthy, Boston should be able to lock Luka down.

Then again, i also figured this iteration of the Celtics would have won at least 1 chip by now so fukk do i know, im like a reverse Nostradamus

More like a NOTstradumus
