Celtics (2-0) at Mavericks (0-2) NBA Finals Game #3 6/12/24

Brown is tonight?s MVP

He should be finals MVP as well. I won?t be surprised if they give the Jays Co-MVP honors though.

If JT has a standout night in G4 and Cs win, I think co-MVP would be great.

Has there ever been a co-MVP in the finals?  I know there have been Co-MVP's given in the all star game and possibly regular season, cant recall one in the finals.

No criticism to anyone tonight. These guys fought and battled the refs and came through in the end.

Legler crying on svp is making my night.

What's he saying? Legs is generally the best basketball analyst on the national media, so he's probably worried about some of his credibility with his awful Mavs pick in 7.

Whining about the illegal screen called late. He was clearly upset by it. He knows boaton winning this gives him a huge L given he picked Dallas in 6.

There has not

Doncic deserved every foul. He is horrible on defense and was out of position and hacking away all night. He also gets away with clear push offs with his arm extended multiple times a game. Mavs fans will be crying saying the refs one this game.

Dallas got a great whistle IMO. They were fouling on just about every play. Our guys battled through it, to their credit.

Doncic stinks on defense. I don't know how he will get better. Dallas needs more.

The bolded especially.   I know it is more physical in the playoffs, but some of that holding and pushing is just over the top.
Doesn't matter though, the better team is rising to the top.   So proud of our Celtics!!!!!!   Great team victory after being down big in the 1st.   I know everyone will moan about losing the big lead, but we held on!  Mavs want to win too, and Luka and Kyrie really wanted this game.

Kyrie played the game of his season tonight along with Doncic and they still couldn't win even with us without Porzingis. They are done. Dallas role players aren't that good and before the series the theme was that Dallas had a deeper bench. That is crap. Next game a blowout sweep for banner 18. This team is so good, the coaching is good and management is very good. This can go on for several years.

We had our share of crap calls. The Lively inbound and the non call on Al as he chased the ball along the sideline. Even Doris said something like ?are they calling that incidental contact??

Brown was clobbered on a rebound. Tatum got blatantly hacked on a dunk. There were just loads of non-calls on Dallas. The Mavs just weren't good enough to take advantage.

[SCeltic34]

Fun fact: Jrue Holiday has 0 turnovers in 118 minutes of play in the Finals.  Now that is clutch.

[Phantom255x]

lol Luka is literally crying about the refs tonight 

Luka Dončić on the officiating against him in Game 3: ?I mean, I don?t know. We couldn?t play physical so, I don?t know. I don?t want to say nothing but six fouls in the NBA Finals? come on man, better than that.?

Hey Luka. It?s always been six fouls you moron. Maybe play better defense

[celticinorlando]

I want to see Boston make them quit Friday night.

Get this over with. No need to prolong it.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]
