But yeah, yay for more basketball. I'd love to marvel at this performance and all, but it doesn't feel as inspirational as one might make you believe. I don't know.

What’s the scoop on the C’s tonight? Foster gonna foster but 60 heading into the 4th is another matter
He’s about as easy to get to as Jimmy Petrille.

Felt like they were kinda getting outhustled early + refs giving Luka a super kind whistle. I actually turned the game off like midway through the 2nd quarter.

Fun fact: In 2016, Lebron James, Kyries Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers were the first and only team to ever come back from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors. Now a Maverick, Irving has the chance to defy history again, yes?History will be made.

It's still gonna be a game 7.
This would have been an interesting series at 2-2. But alas, losing Game 3, at home, with KP out, was the Death Knell of the Mavs.
For some reason, Barkley has now become extremely bullish on the Mavs to win Game 6 if series gets back to Dallas.
Barkley: "I'm glad the Mavs didn't get swept. I'd actually like to see the Mavs win next game because I want to see the champion put under stress. The Celtics have not been put under stress. Now they're under stress. All the pressure is on the Celts in Game 5"
Is Sir Charles desperately trying to hype this series?
The corrupt greedy NBA was bent on extending this series for $$$ and preventing the sweep.
It is unfortunate that the NBA does not appreciate the value of a championship sweep.
NBA Finals sweeps are extremely rare!
- 1959: Boston Celtics SWEPT Los Angeles Lakers
- 1975: Golden State Warriors SWEPT Washington Bullets
- 1983: Philadelphia 76ers SWEPT Los Angeles Lakers
- 1989: Detroit Pistons SWEPT Los Angeles Lakers
- 1995: Houston Rockets SWEPT Orlando Magic
- 2002: Los Angeles Lakers SWEPT New Jersey Nets
- 2007: San Antonio Spurs SWEPT Cleveland Cavaliers
- 2018: Golden State Warriors SWEPT Cleveland Cavalier
OTOH, the 2024 Mavs have a slim chance of duplicating the 2023 Celtics feat.
The 2023 Celts are the only 0-3 team in modern history to have even forced a Game 7 in the Finals.
- 1951 New York Knicks (lost to the Rochester Royals in the NBA Finals)
- 1994 Denver Nuggets (lost to the Utah Jazz in the second round)
- 2003 Portland Trail Blazers (lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the first round)
- 2023 Boston Celtics (lost to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals)

Horizontal people like you and Luka have proven that it is not necessary to be explosive in order to thrive in tennis and basketball.
Sometimes in life we need to slow down and be grounded -- especially when flying high is not an option.
I do not see high level Tai Chi practitioners flying high.

Boston starting to cook at the end of the first quarter.
Desperation 3s for Dallas missing. What a shock.

I am whatever the opposite of this image is
LMAO that the hospital Miami Heat tied the same amount of games won anyone else did. Three years of duking it out in seven to try and save the NBA, my only regret is that we couldn’t have at least gone done healthy with a fight. The boys have tried to hold them off as long as possible but it seems it was inevitable. It really is a hell of a team.
Congrats Fedpo and other fans here, shoutout Jrue, KP, & White for putting their heads down all season and hooping. Hell I even like Mazzulla as a person he’s not bad. They showed a shot of Tatum on the floor with the confetti flowing hugging his son, that was adorable to see. Happy a man that loves his son so much was able to share such a special moment. I’m getting all mushy here but nothing changes **** Boston now and forever

I can’t even summon the hate tbh. Tatum I’d like to say I hate but he’s just so corny that it’s hard, he’s not hateable just hugely lame. Everyone else on the team is a really nice guy. Al Horford, Jrue, Derrick White - the absolute perfect role players and vets. Amazing defense and chemistry. And yes, I am happy for Joe Mazz. Joe Maligned no more. Brad Stevens the true mastermind behind the curtain as well. He’s the Wizard of Oz, the moves this off season were pure genius. I fear he may be the new Pat Riley.
I guess Porzingis has that weird allegation from the New York days? Eh. Not worth it. Even Dave Portnoy makes some good pizza reviews. I hate Sam Adams but I’ll crack one for them this weekend. Congrats Boston.
