Celtics (3-0) at Mavericks (0-3) NBA Finals Game #4 6/14/24

[hpantazo]

So what adjustments have the Mavs made tonight on defense? My impression is they are packing the paint and we are not making them pay from three. Tatum and Brown are forcing drives. You can't keep driving into multiple defenders and then complain about no calls. Kick it out sooner and bomb away from three

[G-Bones]

The officiating from my angle is pretty one sided.  Foster the fixer

[celticinorlando]

Worst offensive performance ever under Joe- yikes

Its offensive in a bad way

Yeah, curious to see how we come out in 2nd half.

I am curious to see how they come out in Game 5.

I would wager they come out the total opposite of this crap

[coco]

Turned off TV, gonna spend time doing something else. If they don't play with energy no point in watching. Just looking at how they fight for rebound is enough telling

Agreed

[86MaxwellSmart]

Kidd's message was, We're getting closer to beating these guys each game since the start...He ain't wrong.

Nervous and tight im assuming

[Phantom255x]

I'm normally not this kind of guy... but idk... this effort level and some of the bad shots really seems kinda scripted. We can have bad halfs and Dallas is desperate but some of it does seem a little fishy. Finals series aren't always sweeps in the NBA

Like how are we airballing wide open 3s and bricking wide open layups like Jrue has multiple times.

They are getting to put hands all over the Celtics with no calls. That's the big change in the game.

[Who]

Jrue = 1-6 FGA
D White = 1-5 FGA

Horford = 0-0 FGA = hasn't even taken a shot in 15min

Pritchard = 0-3 FGA
Hauser = 1-2 FGA
Tillman 1-2 FGA

Tatum = 4-9 FGA
Jaylen = 3-10 FGA

But they are not hitting threes either. 

[BringToughnessBack]

Perk is drunk too. Luka has changed and is amazing defensive player now-****

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

[celticinorlando]

Now the next 48 hours will be a Luka redemption narrative.

And the all that criticism will be piled on Boston.

Boston won't shoot this poorly Monday. The Cs playing like a team that can clinch at home

[TheReaLPuba]

Bad offense and missed shots affecting our defense which we are not playing a lick of.

Seems like the Mavs still want to fight while the Cs are just mailing it in on the road.

Probably due for a turd game like this but it?s still pathetic and just embarrassing.
