Mavericks (0-1) at Celtics (1-0) NBA Finals Game #2 6/9/24

I thought that was supposed to be called an offensive foul now, where the offensive player can't jump into the defender.

Down 3 after a qtr like that. Dallas cannot feel good.

3's will start dropping.

Exactly. Worst quarter we could have played on offense and they had a good quarter

[celticinorlando]

It?s going to be all Kyrie tonight.

Playing like crap and we're still only down 4. Could be alot worse. Just need to clean up the following quarters.

Celtics are 1-9 from 3, Tatum and Brown have 2 points combined (!) and it's a 3-point game after the 1st quarter. This is a very winnable game. Let's go C's!

Bad foul at the end.  But I like the energy in the quarter. 1-9 from three and down just 3 at quarter.  Some inspired defense.  Mavs made shots early on but did miss a bunch of FTs.

Down three by hitting nothing from three and nothing from Tatum

Are we expecting tatum to do anything at this point? He looks like a frightened abused animal, much like he did in the warriors finals.

Doncic and Kyrie have both gone off, both of the Jays are non-existent offensively with two combined points, we've made exactly 1 three while shooting 11% from three and 37% overall, yet we're only down 3 points.

Yeah, that doesn't bode well at all for Dallas. But we've got to start hitting some shots. I think the defense is fine and they're just making tough shots that you can't do anything about, but we have to start making the good threes that we're getting.

dallas cannot stop our drives and they foul like crazy

its all we have to do

meanwhile kyrie is smart and drives and destroys us

[Phantom255x]

We're shooting 1-9 from 3 and only down 3. I'll gladly take it. We're due for a run soon

[SCeltic34]

I'm not worried about Kyrie hogging the ball and getting his shots up.  As long as their role players aren't hurting us with made 3's we can withstand Kyrie's scoring.

Yes. They can?t win without him

[SCeltic34]

Time for Tatum to step up.  Terrible first quarter.

Dallas is 8-1 when they lead the 1st quarter. RIP
