    They were programmed to let every other violation against Dallas go.

    I remember that lol.

    Thing with Brown he's not flashy at all, reminds me a lot of Kawhi just with a pinch more emotion on the court so people always underrate him.

    This Celtics team kind of reminds me of those Spurs team where they are so team focused that even their close wins are kind of boring for some reason.

    It's too bad Minny had mental issues because they would have been a better match up for the Celtics.

    A raw dog sweep or a gentleman's sweep?
    We'll see what happens next game, The Celtics need to close out GM 4 but the Mavs were likely broken after this.

    A huge win for the Celtics without Kristaps. I didn't expect it.

    Happy Dallass lost, but honestly they got screwed throughout the game with fouls and no-calls, especially 4th Q with Luka.

    Maybe the Rangers took most of their luck.

    Boston gotta finish the series though. Almost losing a 20-point lead in 6 minutes is reckless and notorious.

    I don’t see Mario Elie on the Mavs so that’s a wrap.

    Celtics thought the game was over when they were up 21. There was still 10 min left. They started to do some bad ISO possessions to run down the clock which was easy for Dallas to defend. Then Dallas went on a run.

    Celtics need to stick to their offense. Their driving and ball movement is killing Dallas. Maybe they'll learn not to mess with their food.

    You don't see him but does not mean he was not on the Mavs staff.

    Thank our lucky stars that was 15 years ago. Hopefully Mario has forgotten this stop in his coaching career.

    Surprise, surprise, the Mavs are virtually the Celtics of yesterday when their team only consisted of Brown and Tatum and now they have a stacked team.

    Good analogy.

    Winning teams would 100% choose PJ Tucker just like they'd choose Jrue Holiday.

    Most people in the sport know there's more than box score numbers that make a player.

    PJ Tucker is like Aaron Holiday in this comparison.. or Justin Holiday.....

    Tucker was fine but there are better role players who were not offensively challenged throughout history.

    Too busy crying. Him and Mark Cuban can console each other after the game.

    Luka’s lazy ass blaming the refs not letting him be physical on defense as if he’s even trying to do that in the 1st place

    Great. We only have to wait 2 days, not 3 or 4 days to officially end the 2024 playoffs.

    but the celtics arent winning becase of holiday is my point, the celtics already have been in the finals with this core and would have made it last year as well if not for tatums injury. Im not seeing a huge noticaeable different between marcus smart and jrue

    luka needs to not gain 25 pounds of fat during the season and expect to play great defense
