  1. I think if Boston is going to allow Luka to cook, he just needs to fucking cook and not worry about assists until they change their tactics. They’re gifting him 1-on-1 matchups, so it’s time to smoke them for 40 points and make them re-think that. Also, DJJ needs to stop trying to drive. 1-7 and was 0-3 on dunk attempts. Stick to 3s and alley oops. No need to try anything more than that.
  2. Just a reminder, we were blown out Game 1 against the Clippers and Thunder. They through the first punch. Time to start looking for ways to strike back.
  3. Boston has shot 39 threes through three quarters. That’s insane.
  4. I haven't watched much of them either but he's a career 35% 3-point shooter in the playoffs. I would bet that corrects itself in this series some. Unless other teams have found some way to slow him down the Mavs can copy.
  5. We very well might lose the series to Boston, but it certainly isn't going to be because they beat us in the paint. I think the Mavs are going to run with what got them here--meaning they are going to wall off the paint and make Boston win with 3s. I predict we are going to get absolutely blown out in the games we lose and squeak by games we win. Hopefully that's enough to win 4.
  6. I would point out that Indiana team absolutely pantsed us twice in the regular season. I know it's not the same now, but Indiana is a bad matchup for a lot of teams.
  7. So how we feeling going into this thing? KP or not, the fact that they will have 5 shooters on the floor at all times gives me some pause. This isn't like OKC or MIN where you could just not cover a guy like Giddey or Kyle Anderson. I have a feeling there are going to be some real stinkers where Boston just blows us out due to a 3-point variance. I feel pretty confident we're going to win the paint and rebound battle if we can keep our bigs on the floor. Very interesting matchup.
  8. I've never understood this either. It would also be less competition since the NHL will be done with their playoffs. Though I honestly wouldn't mind them keeping the same start date but completely getting rid of back-to-backs. It would help the product in both in the regular season and the playoffs.
  9. So far in this thread, I've learned that Boston has struggled in this playoffs but also hasn't faced any adversity. This is top-notch stuff.
  10. Didn’t know that. They’ve certainly cake walked to the finals though. Boston has struggled by winning every series easily? Dallas is hot, Boston has been a consistent team all year. Should be a fascinating series.
  11. I wish I felt as confident. The Mavs on defense have been willing to pack the paint and give up 3s. Boston shoots lights out from 3. Mavs are going to have to dominate the paint.
  12. Like seriously? Booing the guy who just torched you. Maybe give it a rest.
  13. Wolves deserve to lose just for that terrible howl before every free throw. I thought he was going to bury it.
  14. Please stay the hell out of the UK, Weston. I guess Newcastle would be a decent landing spot. He's just in an awkward spot where he's good enough to make better wages than he was on, but not good enough to break the bank for. Would much prefer him to go to another Serie A team.
  15. I would neg you, but I don't do that. Can't say I wouldn't try the same thing since it worked for you last time. 🤣
  16. Agreed. KAT is a mental midget, but if he gets going, they can beat us, especially without Lively. I said going into the game last night that if the Mavs didn't win, I think this goes 6.
  17. Sounds like Lively is out but Maxi will be back. You have to think Maxi is going to be on a restriction, but even if he takes Powell’s minutes, that’s better than nothing.
  18. This is going to have to be the Luka-Kyrie show. All of a sudden, this game feels extremely important to the outcome of the series. Somehow sneak out a win, I think you can find 1 more without Lively. Lose this, I do not feel great about the rest of the series if we don’t have Lively back.
