Tomorrow night will be one of those evenings of nervous fun - I have a love/hate relationship with those types of games - because it gets to be about emotions. But - I can't wait to experience it.

Yes - he scored 60 for the Mavs and kept switching jerseys so he could brick 3s and turn the ball over. Amazing. 😀 I do hope people picked up that I was being facetious lol.

Giddy/scared. We HAVE to close this out, right? We're the better team, and we are well coached, and we can get in their heads. Right? RIGHT??!!??

We HAVE to be competitive tonight, because we really weren't on friday. Play loose and hard, ball their asses off the building.

Yesterday Jayson Tatum said “we would love to win tomorrow more than anything. But if it doesn’t happen, it’s not the end of the world. We have more opportunities.”
Those three sentences make no sense together.

We have more opportunities.” Those three sentences make no sense together. I’ve seen people being CONCERNED with this sentiment by Tatum and Hauser, but I like it. No need to play tight with the looming dread of an epic collapse.

I can't believe I'm going to do this. But I prefer the 1997 Mariano Duncan approach. Even if it was for the MF Yankees, "We play today. We win today. Das it."

It’s hard not to feel like Dallas is getting more and more comfortable scoring at the rim over the last 5 quarters of this series. Boston might have to go on a scorcher in one of these 3 games to bring this series home.

While I like the macho antics, Dallas came out playing like their asses were on fire for 3 straight games at this point. We don’t need to up the ante, we need a zen like approach. Sun Tzu style.

We just need to hit some GD shots in the first five minutes.

I'm comfortable with Boston tonight. Back home... they know what happened last game and what they need to do to turn the tables. Celtics by 5 tonight.

Thankfully I wasn’t able to watch game 4 and I haven’t had any interest in watching any highlights or reading too much analysis. We’ve definitely seen this team come back strong after a lackluster effort, and I also feel like they’re due for a better shooting night. They’ve been getting good looks all series, so I do feel confident in some improvement there. Going to be an emotional roller coaster tonight. I also would like for them to put it to bed as my focus at work had definitely been suffering the longer this goes on for. Let’s make it happen!

I'm hoping Kyrie misses a few shots early and the home crowd is unrelenting.

I guess we're likely to see KP tonight according to Joe.

If The Porzingod is able to give us 15 solid minutes that’s HUGE. His offense has been badly missed.

But any Zinger time is good, even if it just gives the other guys a morale boost

Even if The Porzingod isn’t cured of his LIGMA sounding injury, if he can give us just 10 minutes that would be unreal.

Eh. Shots just not falling. The only one I really didn't like was Brown's first (deeeeep) 3 Thought he was fouled on the last drive.

Defense has been great. Maybe an understatement.
