To be honest that shit can sort itself out later. All that matters is we win 1 more game.

IVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 2010 FOR THIS SHIT, LETS GOOOO


CreatiScope

Man, I'll never forget. I had fucking tears in my eyes! Then in 2012, I knew the Big 3 era was over in that Game 6. Then in 2017 I knew we'd be lucky to get a game. In 2018, had tears in my eyes again because Lebron kept ripping my heart out. 2019... 2020 we were just too young, knew the Jays were too ahead of schedule. 2022, I had a feeling the Warriors were the better team, was just glad to see them get Finals experience. 2023 was completely disappointing, every series. Only Philly Game 7 did I feel good but still didn't feel that good about it. 2024 has been a dream come true. Sometimes, I feel like 2008 just happened too suddenly and I wasn't prepared and didn't appreciate it enough. This one, I won't take for granted as a fan.

ONE WIN!!!! I’m shaking, I’m so happy to just be here man


valid21

Doncic and Kyrie combined for 62 and the Celtics still won. On the road. That may have been the Mavericks' best shot, and the Celtics took it...without Porzingis. As Paul Pierce once said 16 years ago: ONE MORE C's! ONE MORE!


hey-im-matt

62 points from Luka and Kyrie and they still couldn’t break 100 😭


blumpkinmania

Haven’t broken 100 yet.

Ulexes

I don't know how Dallas comes back from that. The game went according to their ideal plan (have Luka and Kyrie score a bunch, with role players chipping in double-digits now and then), we didn't have Porzingis, and Jrue/DWhite didn't exactly go off on offense. Yet they lost. What else can they do? What buttons do they have left to push?


Peripatetictyl

Eject


Ulexes

Touché!


ZommyFruit

The seat eject button More seriously, you’re right- the Cs have demoralized Dallas and are clearly better. Dallas knows it. Kyrie and Luka do not have the leadership to turn this around. Of course it’s not over yet, but it’s hard to imagine what they can do at this point other than hope to get insanely lucky for 4 games in a row.


WarPuig

theguru86

Fuck me that was 16 years ago.


Abiding_Witness

Luka fouling out after two challenges was pure gold 🤣 guess they didn’t pay them enough to rig it that hard


W359WasAnInsideJob

I was dying. I seriously couldn’t believe it. In fairness, I don’t want to see stars foul out of big games. In game 3 down 0-2 in the series and by 2pts in the game I don’t think anyone in a perfect situation wants the best offensive player on the team to foul out. However, dude got away with plenty of fouls - it’s not like the 6 that were called were the only 6 he actually committed. He’s a liability on defense, and the Cs exploited that - but he had gotten away with so much that I think he legitimately thought he didn’t foul Brown. Clearly in his post-game comments he feels like the situation meant there should be no calls… that’s absurd.


RekLeagueMvp

They still can’t break 100


TheMaximumUnicorn

The "greatest offensive backcourt in history" doesn't get you as far as it used to I guess lol


Tenx3

That's more to do with Celtics' defense than Kyrie and Luka not being that good. What can Klay do to this team without KD lol? He was averaging 17ppg on putrid efficiency as the 3rd option WITH KD for an entire playoff run against worse defensive teams than the Celtics.

1 fucking win away! I can finally breathe again after that fourth quarter. I don’t care what anyone says, I’ll ride with Tatum and Brown as our superstars for life!


TheMikeMarsters

Closest we’ve been since 2010. I love this team. I love you all. Let’s fucking go!


crackdup

Survived a generational collapse with some clutch last few mins.. 1 win away from the promised land!


carefullywasnt

And the near generational collapse will be lost to history thank goodness


ZizzyBeluga

Insane that a team this good can play so fucking terrible with 20 point leads. I'll never understand it


Larry_Legend513

Those two possessions where we forced PP to take terrible fadeaway was just criminally bad offense.


xlurkjerkx

Never swung the ball back to Tatems side, where he was calling for it. I love PP, but he should not have the ball with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. Those possessions on offense killed our momentum.


Dmalikhammer4

They stop moving the ball.


carefullywasnt

NBA is a game of runs due to 3 point shooting variance. It's not just limited to this team


ZigglestheDestroyer

The shit champions are made of


JedH44

It's not a Celtics basketball game unless we forget how to play for five minutes and blow our entire lead. Didn't doubt the team, we wholly deserved to win this game in spite of that stretch.


Cat20041

Last year's team would've lost the Gane after that stretch. So glad to see they can dust themselves off and recover


bedroom_fascist

It's called Jrue Holiday. He's so fucking mentally tough. I can see it helping the team in real time.


CoolDominatorYTT

LFG SILENCE THE WORLD!


ilikepnutbutter

If they called a foul against the Mavs when Tatum’s drives, he’d have like 50 points


Need4Sheed23

There were a couple of clear fouls on layups and dunks, but credit to Tatum - he didn’t let it take him out of the game. Looked like he stayed focused. Huge bounce back from him


Collymotion

This is a good point because you can see Luka do the reverse in this very game, he completely stopped several times to complain to or about refs and it definitely affected his flow.


No_Mas2001

Should’ve had at least 2 and-1 dunks

lefebrave

FMVP for him would be so hilarious as a redemption arc after all that max contract discussions and "can't go left" slanders. His improvement this season is even better than our trades!


bedroom_fascist

You know, if he can improve his game, he might make an all-NBA team. (/s for you tonally challenged kids) Brown is raising one mighty - and yet classy - middle finger to the media with this performance.

Belicheckyoself

Luka has never fouled. Nothing is ever his fault. Hes totally in great shape. Sincerely, Luka Done-Sheeit


Faabz

Was actually surprised they had the balls to take him out, even if it was so late


SilverMagnum

Same. I really thought the league would step in and overturn that final foul. Once that happened, we could throw our entire defense at Kyrie and seal the deal. 


SabreToothMyrrh

When they put the headset back on, I was convinced that it was the league calling in saying "you had best not".


rape_japes

My personal headcannon is that it was but the ref had his mike pence moment


Ok_Raspberry4814

One of my biggest take-aways in this series is how Luka fades in the 2nd half. He doesn't seem to have the conditioning to put up with the intensity that the C's bring on both sides of the ball all night.


fightcluboston

To be fair every call against him was total bullshit. Every single one - I can tell by his reactions

Swarthykins

RINGZ, ERNEH!!!!!


JinterIsComing

RANGZ!!!!


samthesalmon

Yeah fuck that. Luka got in foul trouble because he can't stay in front of anyone and plays lazy defense,


Ziplock182

Not to mention plenty of times they missed clear fouls on him. He probably had at least 8 or 9, including that tackle on Jaylen


billcosbyinspace

He wouldn’t have fouled out if he wasn’t a fucking bonehead on D, all the fouls were deserved. I hate the whole “you can’t foul out/eject someone in the finals!” mindset, same thing happened with draymond in 22


-Jdzspace-

Nah, at home, getting the whistles, Luka and Kyrie going off, no KP, Boston went scoreless for 5 minutes in the 4th and 2 points in 8 minutes. They have no excuse


Pete6r

Luka did it to himself too. Bizarrely sloppy foul-riddled defense.


MPLooza

Someone in Dallas could make a fortune collecting and bottling the ~~Cowboys~~ Mavs fans salt output after their inevitable meltdown about the refs. Not understanding of course that all 6 of Luka's fouls were obvious and that trying to take a charge in transition with 5 fouls and starting out of position is smooth-brain basketball IQ

Feminist_Cat

That's the irony. He didn't suck and it wasn't enough.


jaylenbrownisbetter

He iced the game at the end trying to play hero ball. He played well for the first 3.5 quarters but Lucky wasn’t letting him have all 4


Abiding_Witness

He has not beaten the Celtics since the 2021 Playoffs. He really does suck. Anyone who said the Celtics should have trouble with him was on drugs. Good drugs.


MPLooza

Luka tried all game to get an Oscar nomination while tying balloons at a children's birthday party. Disasterclass by the refs tonight. Defense wasn't great, doesn't matter. Our duo is better, our supporting cast is better, our coaching is better. LET'S BRING IT HOME ON FRIDAY 3-0 LET'S GO

Unless Tatum drops like 50, I think Brown may have just wrapped up finals mvp.


Unusual-Computer5714

I was fully ready for the refs to reverse that block against Luka. Kinda can’t believe they didn’t.


CantHandlemyPP34

I'm so fucking proud of the development of Jaylen Brown. Dude is now a complete player. He's basically playoff Jimmy Buckets level over the next 6 years, except he'll have actual rings. 30 points, 8 boards, 8 dimes makes him the top SG in the league (unless you don't classify SGA as a PG). Booker is not him. Jimmy is not him. Spida is definitely not him. Klay is washed. PG13 is poo. Edward's isn't there for at least 4 years. Tatum has gotten alot of shit this year, but he broke the scoring slump with 31/6/5 and his playmaking was incredible last game. This is just Jaylen's (he turns 28 in October) prime, year one. Tatum will even things up over the next 2 years, especially if he limits the number of step back 3's or adapts to his muscle gain. He'll probably average 34/10/10 with JB's 30/6/6 next time they're here. Tatum turns 27 next March, just in time for another run. God willing they can keep this duo together, because they can do SPECIAL things over the next 5 years if Brad keeps talent around them and neither guy decides to leave. Kristaps is the perfect 5 for them and I feel so much better about riding with him after seeing Tillman's performance tonight. Jrue is 34 today, but should be locked in for another years or two. DWhite is only 30 in July, so he's got a few more solid years. Al looks like this might be his last ride, but as Tatum and Brown turn 29 and 30, they should be able to carry more weight with lesser role players. Brad will have to get crafty about scouting and finding cheap FA/trade value. I'm still excited to see the development of Springer and Walsh as well as bigger roles for Tillman and (if we can keep him) Hauser. Even if Al does retire, we might be deeper 1-2 years from now. Certified ring chasers should take cheap deals to get 1 with the J's over the next few years too.

Closing out on that 21 point lead would have tilted the Mavs off the face of the earth. But cutting it down to 2 might have given them the faintest glimmer of hope. No fucking around on Friday, close this one out before you give them any more confidence.

I think crawling back from 21 pts down and then NOT winning is more demoralizing than if they hadn't gotten it that close

Xavier Tillman deserves a giant shout out what an effort by him, Mazzula messed up putting Pritchard in rather than keeping him out there what a job he did especially defensively


ApolloHuncho

When Luka lets Kyrie cook it’s “ the best closers in NBA history” but when JT lets JB cook it’s “Tatum got carried in the 4th” Don’t let them fool you with their narratives


leagueofcipher

Thank you Jason Kidd for calling a TO to stop the Mavs 21-2 run lmfao


PlaceInvaders1

That Tillman 3 felt like it was worth 10 points. He hit it and I literally said “oh we’re winning tonight” 😂


PlaceInvaders1

Joe’s press conference made me genuinely laugh out loud 😂 “We were down 13, I expected that. And we were down 1 at half, I expected that. You know, expect the unexpected…”


Faabz

We need to have a talk about this Mavs run. Inexcusable. Either way a good win. Really good games by Hauser and X. This might hurt their spirit more than a blowout


Timenglhs2007

Okay let’s have the talk. The Celtics are up 3-0 in the NBA finals. Great, good talk!
