Looks like the Celtics are gonna sleepwalk into the finals (who have they faced, seriously?) and probably lose to the Mavs, though. 😡 Especially if Tatum keeps playing inconsistently.

They'd definitely rather face the Timberwolves who are not set up to handle a 5-out offense.

Unfortunately the Minnesota sports curse has activated and they're an unintended casualty.

They looked pretty good vs. Denver. I was kind of wondering if they flat out exhausted themselves and now don't have anything in the tank for the Mavs.

Don't the 1987 and 1991 World Series wins by the Twinkies kinda cancel that? Yeah, it was a long time ago, but it did happen. Twice.

Mavs v. Celtics looking more and more real.

Rick Carlisle not knowing what a time out is might be the oddest fact to emerge in the 2024 playoffs. The Pacers could easily be 2-1. They should definitely be at least 1-2.

Then again, I shut the game off at half time last night, bored. I've probably forfeited my right to comment for a while.
 
Reports indicate Phoenix is considering trying to acquire LeBron by using drafting Bronny as bait to help lure LeBron to the Suns.

Karl Anthony Towns continuing to shoot threes at this point of the series is absolutely criminal and should be punishable by death.

Just because Naz Reid won 6th Man of the Year doesn't mean you have to keep playing him as one when he's been the most efficient guy for your team the last two games and probably the second most efficient T'Wolves players the entire series.

Minnesota's coach is absolutely fucking CHEEKS.

What is he trying to accomplish with those anyway? He's a big, he should be eating in the paint.
Is he afraid of getting hurt or getting hit? Then maybe he should find Joe
 
His 3s would help out against an opponent he can't really post up (ironically like his teammate Rudy Gobert) but he's bigger than everyone on the Mavs so I don't know why he doesn't want to exploit that. It's not like he's got Tim Duncan in the paint to go against. I think Barkley even pointed this out in the post-game show.

That would make more sense if the next game wasn't on the Mavs home court

Think he was jawing with fans in this clip. Its pretty funny to watch him go tryhard gamer mode during games then right back to reserved slav in interviews. Hope his knee holds together through the finals.

That knee to the back of the head hit on Lively looked terrible. Glad he was able to walk away, but I'd be surprised if he plays in game 4.

He'd foul out by the end of the first quarter.

KAT just has like no body control or something. He charges full speed at the rim and doesn't care if he basically jumpkicks someone.

Jokic winning the MVP will be utter horse shit. Doncic did so much with so much less than Jokic but since he had one of the legendary runs in the play-offs LAST SEASON and fuckin journos don't want to look like they can't read advance stats(Which are highly skewed because of Denver's roster construction) he will get anonymous vote or some shit close to that.

I can't wait see how retarded they will look once more after the western conference finals.

This year MVP voting is the biggest rob job ever. I guess my prediction didn't fully come true since Jokic didn't even make it to the WCF.

Doncic is the true MVP this season. I'm happy that I don't need to feel retarded as often as @IAmNotAlpharius and @A Bit Concerning
