If the Celtics win this one after choking a 21 point lead, somehow both I and reilo would be proven right at the same time.
Luka fouling out might not be that bad for the Mavs at this point, he's gassed and we're to the point where team quality is less important than shot variance anyhow.
By reilo Go To PostI don't think that's a foul on LukaMore importantly, what does Steve Javie have to say about it while the ref is announcing his decision
I can tell because Doris says it's a foul on Luka
More importantly Luka allowed himself to get beat and then gambled on a charge at the three-point line. That's just dumb on his part.
By Omzz Go To PostHela take us homeLet's see what DWhite has to say about that.
By Rob Go To PostPJ is mega ass lmaoDy called it... he'd disappear when he was most needed.
By Sharp Go To PostLet's see what DWhite has to say about that.Puts the game away as usual.
By reilo Go To PostTatum somehow managed to get outscored by Brown in the endIf by "somehow" you mean "stayed in up 20 to jack up shots to try to get to 40" then yes. One of the funniest winning finals performances in recent memory.
By Sharp Go To PostIf by "somehow" you mean "stayed in up 20 to jack up shots to try to get to 40" then yes. One of the funniest winning finals performances in recent memory.Yes that was clearly implied lmao
Mavs really showing their superior execution in the clutch tonight, I can see why that was supposed to be a selling point for them.
It's kinda cool we're getting these "nobody believed in us" runs by 2nd-tier teams last few years but it's made for some bad Finals. I blame Miami.
One thing I will say: Vegas's lines have been embarrassingly bad this whole series. I have never ever bet on sports but I was really strongly tempted this time because I just did not understand how the lines were being set for the Mavs. I'm sure there are reasons for it I don't understand but the Celtics should have been like -1000 favorites like they were in the Pacers series once Porzingis was known to be available.

By joefu Go To Postjust need 1 from each conference doing it at the same timeWarriors were the outlier in '22 of a lower seed winning it all (and hey, Warriors last hurrah with a championship squad)
... but going back to Lebron's second stint in Cleveland we've had like 2 good Finals last decade: 2016 and 2021

maybe im a prisoner of the moment but these have been the least entertaining playoffs i can remember
By unknown Go To Postfrisky gonna say celts washed even when they win the chip lol.
Nah I can’t call them SHOOKtics, WashedTon, etc anymore
By RAThasReturned Go To PostDon't start gambling now.I won't, I didn't do it on Wemby full season stats which I was even more certain about lol.
By Rob Go To PostPJ is mega ass lmaohey he had a good run when dallas was down 20. that's when the game slows down for him
By diehard Go To Postmaybe im a prisoner of the moment but these have been the least entertaining playoffs i can rememberI think we've had good series here and there but we've had more bad Finals than good Finals for a long time.
Since 2010, the only ones I'd rank are:
2011 Mavs vs Miami
2013 Miami vs Spurs
2016 Cavs vs Warriors
2021 Bucks vs Suns
