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

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

WE WANT THE TITLE

we shoulda been up 3-1 in 2022



2-0 is nothing...no let up. have to playu way better next game

win 1 in dallas.

id prefer winning game 3 take their best shot and then watch them quit

in game 4.

it appears luka was wilting late in game. our D was suffocating him and he was useless on D.

attack him early next game and if he wilts then dallas is done

luka is the key not cryrie

We were a little chokey tonight. But we had chances to blow this game and we made the plays we needed to make, unlike the 2022 Finals. Despite a hot superstar on the other side. This club is just deeper and wiser.

And if we keep getting lanes to the rim I don't see how Dallas can win. We're just getting too many high percentage shots. If we continue to be smart and selective with our double teams there isn't much Dallas can do.

Dallas blew it tonight just like Indiana last round?s Game 1

Very poor 3 point shooting. Jaylen 6 turnovers. Tatum shot poorly. Hauser the 3 point specialist awful. Good contributions from the star (Doncic) and role players. Had a lead early and was close for most of the 2nd half.

And they still couldn?t win.

I really doubt Boston is gonna shoot that poorly again. And btw, they still put up 105 tonight despite that

I think game 3 will be Tatum's breakout scoring game.

Luka is about out of gas

Kyrie reverting to hero ball

No one else on Dallas can score consistently

Boston had their worst shooting performance of the postseason and still won

Not sure how much more Dallas has

we need to keep attacking luka. he was trash on D.

our D was getting to him late.

he is wearing down.

Boston plays defense like they can Dallas has zero chance

I thought Indiana were a tougher team to be honest.  They played like a team offensively which made them harder to guard, they played physical and gritty which Boston usually has trouble against, and they have an irritating wing defender in Nesmith who (annoying as he was) did do a really good job against our wings.

Beating Dallas is as easy as making kyrie's life difficult.  If Kyrie struggles then it's basically Luka playing 1 on 5 and as good as he is, that's a recipe for disaster.

yeah we seem to have figured them out playing our D that we did late on luka. cyrie was not dependable down the stretch.

we shot horrendously. cannot see this happening again. we basically could drive to the rim at will. they cannot stop it. i do not see how they stop it. i think they are out of options. then if we can hit some threes with our drives. oh man. i do not see it getting any easier for dallas.

game 3 is a must win for them.

i think we have them figured out.

dallas is in deep deep trouble and they know it

luka is fading down the stretch
