The Tatum sidesteps are completely unacceptable and everything the Mavericks want and need. I don’t want to block you by any stretch, but I wish I could mute every post of yours that mentions Tatum’s name.

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. The refs are giving every deflection to the Mavs for sure My (conspiracy of) businesses wanting to make money aside, homecourt calls it's half expected anyway, so not to surprising.

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. Not how challenges work.

I guess I misunderstood you, but that was a clear moving screen. I called that in real time.

Don't get me wrong I love D. White, but he's quietly having a quiet finals so far.

None of the calls going our way.
But I'm sure there will some call (that isn't actually bad) that will go our way so Twitter can be full of people saying the refs gifted us the game.

Not at all unhappy with that first half. Celts not shooting well, Dallas was red hot - but it is a one point game. Celtics defense is high energy. Second half will be intense.
White- Holiday- Brown not really scoring yet - that will surely get better.
Dallas 23-17 rebound advantage - that's where the KPor injury hurts.
We are protecting the ball - turnovers very low.

I’m not huge on how they played offense in that second quarter, ball movement died down a lot. Probably a lot due to Dallas playing crazy on defense, but the Celtics need to get back to attacking Luka and Kyrie.

My last post said at his worse he is better than Scottie Pippen. But forcing Luka and Kyrie defend dribble drives is the key to this series.

You’re banned from the MAN UP BUS, but I agree with you here. They need to force at least Luka to defend every chance they have.

White- Holiday- Brown not really scoring yet - that will surely get better. So the difference between red hot and not shooting well lies somewhere between a difference of 7%. What am I missing here. Everything considered it was a very solid first half, they came out swinging but we turned it into a one possession game in the same quarter. Second quarter was 20 a piece. Again it's going to be a dog fight. BTW I'm not expecting the Unicorn back, there is a slight chance they come up with some kind of brace that stabilizes his leg so he can play. This game right here to me at least just proves how much better our team is than Dallas. Everything considered losing KP being up 2-0 and Dallas at home came out on fire and they lead by 1 after 1, and 1 after 2. If the shoe is on the other foot we blow them out of the water. I'm hoping JT continues his first half play and I'd like to see D. White be D. White like we've seen for several years now. We get 2 very good halves from 2 players and I think we pull this one out.

If the MAN UP BUS involves getting triggered when someone mentions the Tatum step back, I’ll be happy to grab an Uber.

Tatum and Brown have to get downhill. One of my fears for this series was that Tatum would start to hit some shots and the gameplan from games 1 and 2 would go out the window.
Edit: to be fair, the Tillman spacing is going to make the drives more difficult. I really want to see some more of Houser with Tatum at the 5 in the second half.

I was about to type the same thing. Tatum gained confidence with his shot and started to go with the pull up jumpers, then proceeded to miss everything. There was less passing, less driving towards the end of the 2nd quarter. With all that said, being in a position where all you need to do is win the second half is a fantastic position to be in.

Tatum is the Celtics best statistical 3 pt shooter on open catch and shoot opportunities.

Now THIS is a flat out beautiful offense. Attak Luka, get downhill, move the ball. Don't think they can beat us if we do that. Brown has 7 assists so far.
