Holiday -38, Tatum -33, White -29, Brown -28. Rough stuff.

Put this one in the rear view mirror and dont look back. Come out on Monday with some urgency and this will all be forgotten.

Pretty crazy that the Mavs are at 44% from three despite 0-8 from Luka. Throw this one away, come out with a better effort on Monday

I'm sure it's just they want to finish it off at home for the fans.

Well, they barely got it under 40 anyway.

Legler on Sports Center "worst game I've seem them play all season". Easily Hopefully this humbles them and they come out guns blazing in game 5. Garden should be mayhem

If you’re going to lose, that’s a much better way to do it than a close game.
Show up Monday and wipe the floor with them at home.

I wish we had some inside knowledge on what went so terribly wrong in this game.

I wish we had some inside knowledge on what went so terribly wrong in this game. was pretty absurd I was worried we would lose this with how relaxed we looked after game 3. Similar vibes to the White buzzer beater G6 in Miami series. Basically everyone acting like they had won already. Good news is another chance at home this time vs the blowout that happened last year

Just win 1 outta 3 shouldn't be a problem for them but it goes without saying, please just wrap it up in the next 2. A game 7 would have me way too nervous.

Yes - he scored 60 for the Mavs and kept switching jerseys so he could brick 3s and turn the ball over. Amazing. 😀

If winning a title was easy everybody would do it!
Win game 5 or I start to be a little pee pants baby in this thread

Similar vibes to the White buzzer beater G6 in Miami series. Basically everyone acting like they had won already. Good news is another chance at home this time vs the blowout that happened last year I don’t know if that’s it. They seemed pretty focused before the game in interviews, maybe a bit overconfident, which resulted in some really bad threes at the beginning. The Mavs effort may be a better explanation. They played very hard and their role players hit their shots. The Celtics couldn’t drive to the basket because it was defended well and we had no Porzingis.

it would be a 20 point deficit instead of 26 if Foster wasn't refing. not the difference in this one Its also actually a good thing that they used up the extender in a game 4 we would’ve lost anyway rather than a game we might have won. We wouldn’t have won this one with a healthy Porzingis either. Glass half full way of looking at it.

I'm not THAT worried we lose the series, but I'm ready to be done just in case. Close it out at home!

Panthers also got absolutely SMOKED in their Game 4, losing 8-1. Came here to post a thanks to the Panthers for making the Celtics effort in game 4 look not so bad. Also for trying to make the hockey season end after basketball for the second year in a row.

Time to finish them off and I think they will.
I wanted to point out a major person who I truly believe made a huge difference, Jeff Van Gundy. The exact type of former coach our young coach needed to help him. With Charles Lee off to be a HC, hope we keep him as the top assistant. Rumors Clippers want him for the same role.

Close out games are hard. Dubs had a chance to put a Ja-less Grizz away in a game 5 two years ago and lost by 39 on the road (down 55 at one point in the game). If they lose tomorrow I start getting concerned

The way I look at last game, everything went Mavs way and everything that could go wrong for Celtics went wrong. No way I see that happening for 3 straight games in a row. You literally had Lively making his first career 3 point shot. All the bounces went Mavs way. Only Hauser shot well. Holiday 5 TOs.
Not that they really needed it, but Kidd once again giving them bulletin board crap. He's really a piece of work doing that down 3-1.

I will add one thing, Tatum needs to play better D on Doncic! He's been rather bad for like 3 straight games, which is just utterly crazy. Given Hauser, Tillman and even Pritchard have been stopping his driving, while Tatum just let's him blow by him.

I think the Celtics could turn the tables on the Mavs on game 4 behind a raucous Boston crowd ready to party.
While winning in a sweep would have been great it is more fun to win at home.
If they dont win Game 5 then it gets a bit more nerve wracking.
Winning game 7 in Boston would be fun too but let's not get there. TCB in Game 5!
I dont think the Celtics have played their best game in the Series yet. They're due. I'm hoping its Game 5.
