Interestingly the point spread didn’t really move when KP was ruled out.
And isn’t too different from what it was in the first two games when you factor home court being worth about 8 points (Celtics were -7 at home).

I'm a fan of good guitar playing, but that was kind of awful.
If I didn't know it was supposed to be the anthem, not 100% sure I would have recognized it.

Lethargic start, defend the paint guys.

Dont like the vibe so far. Celtics playing like they got a 2 game lead, Dallas is playing desperate. Its very early though.

Yeah, cool graphics. We didn't really want to see the basket scored.

We aren’t off to a good start for that great shooting night I was hoping for

We've got to weather this, I'm not surprised Dallas has come out strong as their backs are against the wall. They won't shoot 67% the rest of the night. Survive the rush, then chip away and get back into the game.

Close the paint, foul dudes if you have to. Don’t allow Luka to just softly throw a layup a foot away. Maul him and send him to the line.
The offense still looks fine, shots aren’t falling but we’re still generating better looks than Dallas.

like Tatum aggressiveness on offense so far, don't like his defense on Luka.

Man, I like Jaylen.

Celts absorbed that high energy Dallas start beautifully. Didn't panic - just played on and are keeping it close.

Getting big minutes from Hauser.

LEGENDARY transition defense by Dallas with 5 seconds left in the quarter. If we sweep or gentleman sweep, they should consider firing Kidd.

They're letting Luka push off and then get foul calls on us when he leans into his defender.
So, not surprising the last two plays he felt like he could just call down and get Free Throws

That was a textbook way to weather the storm. It's just like game 2 - it certainly doesn't feel like we should only be down 1 after how the first 8 minutes went. Let's bring that momentum into the 2nd quarter.
Tatum with 13 so far is a great sign.

They’ve been able to survive the Tillman minutes so far (+4 in 3 minutes) - that needs to continue.

The Tatum sidesteps are completely unacceptable and everything the Mavericks want and need.

White is way off right now - seen him do this before and get super hot. Keep firing buddy!

Tatum is shooting better, my pre-game call to overcome Dallas and the Zebras. Nice to see we weathered the storm and came out the other side after 1 down by 1. Let the game begin, expecting a dog fight.

Did Mazz challenge that? That’s a bad challenge because it’s a clear foul on Doncic, watch the refs call whatever bullshit on our possession.
