That was easily the most stressful game to watch this year.

i was one more dumb shot away from smashing my TV and laptop

Right there with you - I destroyed a lamp against the wall one time.

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.

If you are the Mavs right now, your spirit must be shattered. 

Tatum/Brown had average games in game 1 and we won by almost 18
Boston shot 25% from three in game 2 and we won by 7
Kyrie and Luka combined for 62 points in game 3 and we beat them by 7 on their own floor

Celtics led for the entire second half in all three games.

I was saying all along that there will be one game in this series where Kyrie will have his big night and the Mavs will have a good shot at winning.  Today was that game, and we stole it.   

I expect their spirits will be shattered and they will give up after halftime in game 4 so long as we come out and hit them early.

Barkley is a clown, but he is right on target with his postgame comments about the game should have been over and the Celtics go into their wretched one-on-one bad shot selection offense and almost blew the lead because of it. So obvious to everyone but the coach and the players.

Almost blew it. But won by 7.  Playing the Western Conference champs who?ve been coming back in 4th quarters in the playoffs. Great win!!

When push comes to shove, our defense is just too good. We just have another gear other teams can't match, we force turnovers and push the ball up for devastating swing buckets.

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.

Lol Doncic is up there complaining about the fouls when we were called for two more fouls than them even considering the junk time fouls.

Then making the argument that he of all people shouldn't have been fouled out in the NBA Finals.

[tenn_smoothie]

We won in spite of that awful 4th quarter offense which deteriorated to Tatum or Brown holding the ball and going dribble-iso-fadeaway.

Just do something simple like run the flex for a few possessions, change things up, get players moving. Not that hard.
