its truly amazing how in the NBA

Denver can get beaten and choke a 20pt lead by Minnesota. and then Minnesota can get demolished by the mavericks.

only for the mavericks to be 0-3 against Boston. The NBA is truly about matchups.


That's always true. I think we would've had a harder time against Denver or The Wolves. We match up great with Dallas.

I would ask a related question, is Luka Doncic overrated?

Maybe?
Hes really really good.
In context with this series hes been a total fraud and overrated.
It depends on how important you think defense is. He's right there with Jokic as the 2 best offensive players in the league but Luka has been a crash test dummy on defense in the finals.
I am gonig to keep posting this: I hope Doncic never wins an MVP. In fact, I hope he falls out of the top-5 in the MVP race next year, being replaced by Tatum who has generally been at #6 to most pundits this year.

The Lakers got demolished by the Nuggets in 5.
The Nuggets choked against the Wolves in game 7.
Wolves got blitzed by the Mavs in 5.
Mavs about to get destroyed by Celtics in 4.   

By the transitive property of the NBA playoffs the Lakers playoff run looks very sad.

Bonus for Celtics fans.

I hate the lakers but they did not get demolished by Denver. LA held the lead in 70 percent of that series but could not finish the games.

I?ve always had a bone to pick with Euro Harden. I think he was exposed against the Suns in the playoffs a couple years ago. I thought maybe he had improved. I thought maybe he should get an excuse cause he?s hurt. Then you see his offensive stats, and nope?. This guy is a dog on defense. He can?t be the best (or even top 5) as such a liability.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Yup. Celtics almost could've been down 3-1 if the Pacers didn't choke in Game 1, 3, and 4. Pacers had like some 97-99.98% win probability late in the 4rh quarter lol

So they are capable of playing defense? If so, too bad for Dallas that they didn?t show up for the first 3 games. I think the Celtics can make an incredible comeback tonight.

Game 4 was the mavs that made easy work of the west.

Not sure what happened the first 3 games of the finals

I suspect the Celtics had something to do with it  :angel:

They didn't come out to play tonight and the Mr Hyde version of the Mavs came out.

Even in Game 3 we only won one quarter.  It was just a huge quarter.

It was the perfect mix of bring too relaxed with the lead, but also tight trying to finish ut. They looked short on everything

Then you have the mavs desperate, which can make you play loose.

I suppose we won more of the moments on which the games swung?thst Luka foul, the White block in Game 2, etc.
