Before maxi got hurt he was balling. He's still hurt and even said it hurts him to even shoot the ball so idk. Timmy I get why he was out there but he's trash. Shoots likes he's curry but he's not even the poor man's version

[@seesidesummerhouse6112]

Planning for next season should start now. We can use game 4 to get a final feel for the likes of Green, Exum and DJJ. Kleber and THJ should already have plane tickets booked to anywhere. We need players that can do it on the big stage, and those mentioned have proven they can’t.

[@BigtunaG]

When Luka fouled out they should have put Exume in. JB targeted Thj and that’s how the Celtics kept their lead. I didn’t understand replacing ur weakest defender with the only guy on the team worse than him. Personally the lineup I want to see Pj,djj,Donte,kyrie ,luka 3 defensive players that are versatile Donte gives you ball handling/play making Now Pj/Dj can get a corner shot and switch with bigs Then you have Luka and Kyrie

[@robbyfloyd9956]

worth a shot. i like it. maybe lively and green working in. a 11 man rotation is wayyy too much. just going to be out talented

Excuses for their iso heavy playing style. Cope harder

[@GoatReactz]

​@@vineezyproductions9638they're like that because of their roster.... they don't have 4allstsrs like boston

[@jarrodmason4964]

They're not even iso heavy as a Team. Like Kyrie said, they got where they are as TEAM. Not as just him and Luka dominating. They were far away from top level defense until after the Allstar break. We defended the best, beat the best and had our big men overachieving off the pick and roll and ultimately defensively overachieved at the front court and back court with Luka and Kai. The Celtics are the only ones who made us break character. Luka mentally has broken. Trapped in his own efforts to force his body to do what he does best. Offense. And now he's either succeeding but to the detriment of the Mavs defensively. And even now offensively holding them back because of ball stopping and turnovers. Again. Totally out of character... Credit to the Celts. They're the real deal. If the Mavs have good off season moves, heal, get in better shape to enter the season, reenter the playoffs healthy, gel and peak at the right time like this year and they'll be right back next year if the Timberwolves aren't ready because they're coming too. Go MAVS!!

Luka has to do 3 things if he wants a chip: 1 stop pouting 2 be present on defense 3 get in phenomenal shape. Other than that he’ll end up being a random. He has to grow up some. Honestly reminds me of a young OBJ. Win at press conference kissing & hugging babies. After a losss they are broken. Gotta stay even kill & avoid the roller coaster of emotions. I recall watching Ray Lewis at a press conference. Unless u knew the score u didn’t know if he won or lost. Tony Romo looked as if he wanted to cry.

Dallas has got to Play Jaden Hardy in order to get to and Above the 100 Points Mark, in order for Dallas to Win game 4 and Extend the Series. Jaden Hardy Played Extremely Well against Minnesota and to have him just Sitting and Watching his Teammates being Beaten up by Boston, just because he is only 21 Years of Age, just ain’t Cutting it. The Way, this Dallas Team is Built and is Being Coached, this Season, Dallas is a Far Distance from Making the NBA Finals next Season. Getting past that 100 Points Bad Luck, that’s casted on them by Boston’s Tough Defense, will be Good News for Dallas. Opportunities for Dallas must Come from Hustle Plays, the Way Boston’s Players are Out Hustling Dallas, even on Dallas’s Hime Court. What ever happened to Over Playing the Passing Lanes, as Boston’s Only Offensive Game Strategic is to Spread the Floor as Wide as Possible.
