Mavericks (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Finals Game #1 6/6/24

[BringToughnessBack]

We are up by 21 and they are talking about how Dallas has been here before

[Roy H.]

I could have done without those last two offensive possessions, but otherwise that was close to perfection.

[mobilija]

Got a little lazy to close the half, some bad bounces.

Stay aggressive for the 2nd half!!!!

And there is your difference between a star and a superstar , Tatum misses two 3-pointers, Doncic buries his to cut into our big lead.

[Silas]

Take that first half any day and twice on Sunday.

[angryguy77]

I'll take being up 20. Just keep up the intensity.

We need more out of tatum though.

[celticinorlando]

We are not out of the woods at all. Boston has to have good third.

[Who]

That was a nice little push by Luka. Get the deficit down to around 20 at the half when it was ballooning to 30 just a minute earlier. A manageable second half deficit. 30 would be imposing.

Tatum doesn't know what to do with the physicality of Dallas. I mean, he's getting fouled every time he touches the ball but if the refs aren't going to call it he's going to have to figure something out.

Luka has been cooked on defense and turned it over a lot. JT is getting doubled and tripled teamed and is making good decisions.

[SparzWizard]

Here comes the dreaded 3ed quarter.

why does he have to get stupid at end? go to rim

jacking dumb contested threes forcing it

[soulman]

Just to say hi from Europe. 3:36am here. But I am loving every moment of this final so far. Porzingis is destroying them.

Superstar Luka is -10 and star Tatum is plus 21

Except for his over-passing and last two offensive possession
