There’s no question they still can’t win this series 🎉mavs win next 2 games!

[@jesskraayenbrink4125]

Like if they get better at free throws , less turnovers, make more shots! I can’t see Celtics win this series!

[@MotherViksChaat]

@@jesskraayenbrink4125that’s only if the Celtics don’t hit their shots. Tatum hasn’t even really scored yet

[@Christian-eq6pq]

If they suddenly get players that can play defense, for sure they will have a chance.

LUKA turnovers are the worst. When he turns the ball over you know the other team gonna score in transition, those are momentum killing turnovers

[@mikestone8756]

Kyrie Irving has GONE MISSING In the series

We’re is Tim hardway jr???

[@ajherrera2453]

I know forreal right? He’s relying on Luka and Ky too much.. I’m C’s fan but I agree.. he doesn’t use his role players to their full potential, he relies a lot on the duo’s isolation ball..

Kleber should not be on the court if he is not hitting shots, especially if gafford is playing quality basketball!

Kleiber doesn't even look at the basket after receiving the ball. Lmfao Liability on the offensive side. He should be a threat.

Celtics sweep or in 5. Well deserved. Best team entire season

[@vernon1086]

Try running offense from 1 4 flat set let ki and Luka start up top one one if they double keep to corner. You can help with offense coach.

[@tgoddeeznutz]

Celtics aren't doubling and Dallas ain't winning shit

[@epyon7773]

These rosters aren’t close. They should be ashamed of that offense tonight.

[@tmathew03]

Needs to focus more on defense and rly get in their grill. We need our role players to make their threes. Dallas gotta trust each other on offense but players gotta make it count. Refs needs to give Mavs the same calls Boston are getting. Kleber shouldn’t be getting this many minutes when you have gafford, lively, pj and dj jr . Dj jr can play power forward and be effective. Dante exum should be shooting more for corner three and wing three when open. Maybe it’s Time to put Timmy in for spark minutes so he can get a quick 5-8 pts. But this is all going to start with great defense

[@JohnnyBananas7x]

Need someone to Join Luka and Kai?? You mean join Luka… kai hasn’t showed anything… lmao PJ scored more than Kyrie… so call out uncle drew.

Sure is.

100%. I’m a massive Celtics fan and even I can admit the Mavs are better then this, I know the Celtics have great defenders but Luka needs help desperately or this will be a very short series

Ok??? Lebron faced a few teams with a worst team and did damage but they still lost.. Lukas no LB.. Dude done for..

[@patcisz3474]

​@ktdagoat1289 Luka is not the defender Lebron was at age 25 but at the same time Lebron was not as good of a shot creator as Luka is at that age

[@christiancarbajosa347]

No he couldn't have, it wasn't a dead ball.

[@vinniedeluca2188]

I’m a Celtics fan but when there’s a bad call I’m going to call it, Washington was fouled by Brown and White and that was a very big moment of the game, the refs really need to do better out there, that would’ve been a much tighter game had they made the right call

[@jaau7691]

@@vinniedeluca2188yeah it was but look at how Luka back down with elbow and reach in foul. Tbh Dallas been getting away with all the fouls with no calls.

[@ProudVet]

Kidd is a DEO hire gritting off of the otherworldly talents of two superstars. So, if you come up a scheme to help? Shit out of luck. He gave up in this game when he saw that Kyrie wasn't going to make shots. 2nd half Luka lacked aggressiveness. Kidd was trying things for game 3.

[@johnwarrenjoyohoy2486]

Wtf kai doing?? He dont play like this in wolves

[@donkingoftheworld8955]

im very upset on the mavericks defense rebounding.. and im calling out pj washington and josh green.. defend especially josh green.. you are not on the court to score just defend defense guard jrue holiday derrick white

[@kbthegoat824]

LUKA is playing the worst defense I've seen in a while and is the reason other guys are scoring. Tatum and brown picking on him is why other guys are getting off. You need to call out Luka Doncic on his horrible on ball defense and rotation

[@patcisz3474]

​@@kbthegoat824the Celtics have 4 all star caliber players on the same team and possibly 5 if you count Derrick White as an all star. The Mavs don't have that kind of depth which forces Luka to create everything on offense while guarding great scorers on defense. You should be talking about Kyrie and his completely horrific performance

[@kbthegoat824]

@patcisz3474 that's Luka playstyle he doesn't want to play off ball. Blame the coach that always allow that playstyle, kyrie is more than capable bringing the ball up but Luka is not effective being off ball and needs the ball in his hands to be effective. Don't act like Luka is forced to dominate the ball, that's his playstyle and it never changes no matter who plays with him

[@patcisz3474]

@@kbthegoat824 talk about Kyrie playing trash. I thought he was the most skilled player ever

[@kbthegoat824]

@patcisz3474 yea he's not making his shots...but he doesn't get to dominate the ball like Luka. He gets the ball at times, tries to beat his man and score over help defense and he's missing his pull ups. But there is no play called for him to make it easy he's 6ft tall. Hard to get in rhythm when one guy dominates and dribbles the ball so much. Yea we can blame him for missing ..but I'm not gonna ignore Luka terrible defense, at least make it a lil harder for guys to drive past you, he's near 6'9 ft tall and can contest shots just don't let people blow by you so easily. And I'm not gonna ignore his turnovers either, his turnovers are the worse because all of them lead to transition basket for celtics those are the worse type of turnovers.

[@michaeldonovan4793]

He needs to put luka in the post and let him operate out of there..The celtics are too good at closing off his shooting angles

[@NiKi-ij2ln]

If it looked like a foul why you didnt challenge it. It was a foul Both by White and Brown, two colors 😂

[@actionstarandson9027]

Jason Kidd doesn't adjust anything defensively, celtics just missing open shots. Luka doesn't play defense, celtics just attacking luka then helps gonna come then boston gonna pass the ball til they find a open guy, but dallas rotate defensively and it's too late to recover just because luka doesn't give effort defensively n this series. If they want to win adjust defensively and tell Luka to Man up and defend.

[@Steelers5555]

It was a foul bot Celtic players hit washton on arm as he was about to dunk

more to do kyrie isn't showing up if he isn't scoring around 25 mavs don't have a choice

[@jayb5750]

The hometown refs ? The refs are chosen by the nba officials based of performance during the regular season and playoffs

[@scottferguson1833]

@@jayb5750 The refs might not be from the city, but it is obvious to me that they cater to whomever they are told to cater too. Usually it is the home court crowd; but not always. Last night, the refs missed a lot of calls that could have won Dallas the game.

[@TomSkinner-cn7mg]

Please tell Luka to stop turning the ball over…He had 9. He does scores many points. However, if you were to look at his turnovers and TOTAL LACK OF DEFENSE….he’s average AND very overrated. He made first team all NBA and doesn’t even know how to spell DEFENSE. Thanks to Adam Silver, the NBA has become a 3 point shooting league (which is the ONLY way the European players can compete in a league where defense used to be revered. The NBA should be called the Euro League NBA…ALL OFFENSE AND NO DAMN DEFENSE.

[@AG_396]

Delusional anti-european comment. The shooting range in NBA has been opened not by Silver to help europeans, but by ultraglorified players such as Curry, Thompson, Lillard and many others, all made in USA. Furthermore, the 3-time MVP Jokic and Doncic are far far more than 3-pts shooters, and brought to school many ultra-athletic and ultra-hyped players coming from college bball. Let's say the truth, NBA is more global and select the most skilled players from all over the world, mostly being still from the US. So...cut the bs.

[@MultiSVED]

We are loosing coz kleber is crap,cant xef,cant jump,cant bl9ck,we wherw wining when gaf and livley only played.those minutes

[@NoleJeBog]

Jason Kidd gotta be the worst coach in the league. He has no energy barely talks just stands on the side quite af. Not motivating at all what a joke.
