I lived to see Luka guarding JRUE HOLIDAY like he’s Westbrook.

Maverick’s rotations were barely visible on that last defensive possession.

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. If the MAN UP BUS involves getting triggered when someone mentions the Tatum step back, I’ll be happy to grab an Uber. No one’s triggered, but you wrote that post about one side-step 3 he took about 5-10 minutes prior and when he wasn’t even on the floor. He was the reason they were back in that game. It’s just dumb. It wasn’t even venting in the moment.

A stat I read today, IIRC, the Celtics the past 3 years of the playoffs on the road are equal for the best winning percentage for a 3 year playoff road run as anyone tying with Chicago Bulls during the 90's with Chicago when they were a dynasty. I'd love the Jay's to be able to win 3 together but I'd take two considering how the last big 3 only won one.

There's going to be a game where Luka doesn't put up big numbers, right? I just want an off-night for him. Kyrie showing up is unfortunate, but Celtics being able to beat the Mavs at home with those guys hitting their shots would be a tremendous win.

If you're the Mavs right now, you have to be seriously doubting yourselves a this point.

Tatum should have had a free throw.

Tatum is the Celtics best statistical 3 pt shooter on open catch and shoot opportunities. Don’t say nice things about him, you mushed his catch and shoot 3

Tillman's showing something.
Meanwhile Luka's like "didn't you see me bump him? That's supposed to be free throws for me"

If you're the Mavs right now, you have to be seriously doubting yourselves a this point. I think we are approaching the first seeds of doubt. God I hope your right.

Tillman is really hurting the spacing on offense but he’s been great on switches.

By the way, before we get some crazy ideas, refs are swallowing the whistling on both ends. Good reflection of the changes this season.

At this time out - identical shooting - both teams 27-58
Boston with 7 more threes
Cs with only 4 turnovers.

Highest scorer on the Mavs not Luka or Kyrie is Gafford with 6.

Luka hunts contact too much on occasion My single second biggest complaint is shooters trying to draw contact AND getting the call. I may sound like an old bastard here but old bastard I be, back in the day you avoided contact or fought through it you never initiated it and certainly you did not get the call. I believe offensive players initiating contact should NOT be a foul on the defender. That may be it for me, just 2 issues with the current game, I love it otherwise.

Tatum with the “no step back” timeout speech! They’re gonna win the championship!
