      Ironically JJ always gets in Legler's way on SportsCenter because they talk to him and Doris first for some reason and they just ramble ON AND ON with SVP about nothing. Then a commercial and finally the touchscreen!
      Should lead off with 30 minutes of Legs, dammit.

    @dchappell2020 5 місяців тому +5

    The start of the game is key for both teams. I’m interested to see if Kidd starts with Lively & Green instead of DJJ & Gafford to push for an early lead with their best lineup or just sub them early like he did in game 4. The Kleber & a big lineups cutoff a lot of drive and kick for Boston and if that translates well in another game then I think Dallas at least on defense can keep the game close and put the ball in Luka, Kyrie, & Co to score timely to stack games. Dallas should be able to double paint points the rest of this series with KP out and Mavs defense protecting the rim and good help to run shooters off the 3, Celtics could be dangerously reliant on pull-up 3s and middys versus Dallas getting whatever they want shot diet wise.

    Luka had no legs the last game, no lift to make a three but he adapted and looked dominate. That is what he does but that was not full Luka mode. All the emotion will be with Boston to open the game but it was with the home team in 2020 in PHX and in Minn in 2024 WCF and he came out in a pivotal game on the road and dominated the first 15 minutes. I doubt he has the legs to do it again but like Bird he is that guy that has the ability and shear drive to tear the other teams heart out on the road.

    The Boston offense is unlike any other offense in the NBA, and I think the mental load on the Dallas D to adapt was very high for the first three games (thus the "film only" practice sessions before game 4). I'm not saying that Dallas can stop the Celtics -- the Celtics are going to make adjustments and they've got great players -- but that mental load aspect *might* be finally coming down to a more manageable level, and might not be such a huge negative.

Like ya u cant win em all, but holy to get demolished like that, down by almost 40 is crazy. And that seems to happen quite consistently. Last yr with the Heat to go down 0-3 when ur team was the heavy favorites. Going up 2-1 in the series and then losing to GSW in 2022

    Boston just shot poorly game 4. They had good looks and drives to the rim but just missed. Dallas defense played better but they got lucky on a lot of possessions. Offensively Dallas finally attacked Horfard on the switches.

    I thought Boston started off game 4 looking for a win but then saw the refs were gonna extend it and they decided to just chill for a game. Didn't anyone else think the refs were calling everything against the Celtics and letting the Mavs get away with a lot? I'm not a Celtics fan btw. I'm hoping Mavs win.

    Luka has the best defensive rating on his team at 110. It’s lower than Lively’s and Gafford’s whose are 111. Luka is the first player in NBA history to lead the playoffs in points, assists, rebounds, and steals. If you’re going to slam a player, he’s not the one.

    Sports gambling destroyed the the league, i almost threw away my life savings for betting against celtics because of the media narratives that told us that they had an easier path to the finals. But i knew when luka had that game 5 wcf performance against the minessota which was similar to his performance to game 7 against the suns, I followed their next series against golden state and it was exactly the same. 4-1, they also won in game 5 in that series. Thank you for confirming my beliefs. Nba is a waste of time

    If the Refs hadn't fouled Luka out of Game 3, the series is 2-2. Go back and look at Luka games with those 3 refs. Luka knows them and knew he was gonna get screwed. He let their biases affect him. JJ is an analytics freak he knows the REFS matter

    • @sindilacion
      @sindilacion 5 місяців тому +1

      Luka deserved every single one of those fouls. You want Luka to live above the law because he is a superstar. That is outright rigging the game. Letting him get away with a contest at the rim is one thing but these blatant fouls is something you can’t save. Those whistles were already super late. They didn’t want to call it but Luka gave them no choice. If those don’t get called they send the message that the games are 100% being screwed with.
