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

Put the bench in.  someone with life

Dallas defense isn't any better.

Celtics playing with no energy. Offense looks like a mid Feb. game.

Rebounding is awful.

Rebounding and getting to loose balls. Both measures of effort are lacking tonight

Exactly. Boston looks like a team that knows they have a clinching game at home still and Dallas playing like a team that is down 0-3 at home.

Things will be different Monday.

Playing lackluster when there?s literally a title on the line because you have a clinching game at home is completely inexcusable.

I guess you should say that about the Bulls and MJ. They were up 3-0 and got pushed to a game 6 vs Seattle.

It happens.

Guys, when the Master of Panic is the voice of reason and is telling others to stop panicking, you should be able to tell that you're going overboard with the worry and panic.

It's like some of you never played sports growing up. Some nights you just don't have it, or some nights the other team just has it or has all the context to play much harder and better than you. The latter is clearly what is happening here. It's just like when Milwaukee whooped us early in the season when they were on like a five game losing streak and we were on the B2B. Sometimes context is king - the desperate team trying to avoid the sweep is clearly playing with everything on the line, which is hard to win against when any team does that.

Amen and TP for you and the Master of Panic. Let?s get this on game 5! We?ve been on an unbelievable win streak and disappointing as it is, it somehow had to end. Law of averages I guess. It?s not the end of the world, 3-1 is still a commanding lead.

JB has lost any chance he possibly had of winning finals MVP.  He's been absolutely garbage today in every imaginable way.  Tatum has been the only guy on the court who consistently looks like he's actually interested in winning this game.

May need to play zinger on monday

[SparzWizard]

Whole new series again. Mavs have all the momentum and feeling strongly confident going into Boston to take one in Game 5.

You are exhausting. Just stop watching them.

LOL he sounds like u all season LOL

let him vent

its healthy

He vents like this when they win by 30 tho...

You know, that's why we are called fans. We share excitement, and we share frustration. We jump and laugh in win. We vent and blow a fuse when lose. But to get eviscerated like this on a close out game and nobody showing up...simply unacceptable. And it's not the first time this Jay core has done it.

[Kuberski33]

Tatum -28, Holiday -33

OMG

As good as Holiday has been in this series- he?s been the polar opposite tonight.

[celticinorlando]

Boston by double digits Monday.

They have responded all season in these type of situations....including being blown out at home by Miami and Cleveland.

[liam]

Joe, put in Q. We need a paint guy in this one! At least let al rest.

[scaryjerry]

Certainly nervous for game 5. If they don?t get off to a hot start the building will fill with nervous energy like it always does in big home games they choke away

[LilRip]

This isn?t on Joe, guys lol Joe can?t rebound for the team. He can?t chase down loose balls. He can?t sprint back on defense. He can?t stop someone from letting it fly from deep early in the shot clock.

Man?s been burning through his timeouts

[Phantom255x]

Dallas outrebounding us 45-22. I mean...

[liam]

Tatum -28, Holiday -33

Throw in Svi. He can shoot.

im with u man.

a loss? ok fine

but we did not even show up

[jpotter33]

Al has been okay, and Tatum has been decent and aggressive, though still need more from him. Everyone else has just completely not showed up. Brown in particular is having his worst game of the playoffs tonight.

Good thing they are still up 3-1 heading home with a chance to clinch.
