Luka and Mavs choked at the FT line.

Little things adds up in the playoffs.

So Celtics are the only ones up 3-1.
Everybody else is tied 2-2.

Nice.

What an unbelievable coaching adjustment Made by The coach of the year.. Benching an all year starter in the second half of the playoffs and only playing Giddy 4 minutes.. May have been the best adjustment of the season..

And that was an in game decision..

Guess you can say Joe made the most important adjustment by making the Cs 3-1 while the 3 other series are just 2-2. :lol:

Not everyone can do the mid-range well but if you have that it is a great weapon

That was one of the worst playoff losses and meltdowns I have seen in years from Dallas.

Will Skip bayless and Perk turn on Luka after a very poor team deflating performance in game 4 ?

Would like consistency in the playa hater agenda that's all

Series isn't over, feels like it's going 7. But a 2-2 series tilts decidedly towards the home court team.


Definitely think this series is going 7.. Good for a league and possibly good for Boston.

Yeah, they're still playing him. OKC should be 4-0 with a better coach.

Mate it’s getting to the point of being unhealthy level of hate the way you constantly talk about Joe.

Guess what you are in the top 2 of Joe supporters who will hear from me and my unhealthy obsession if we do not get 18..

Not sure if it is green Kool aid, or if you are too casual or just clueless.. But you supported someone who was clearly clueless all season long.. And use the regular season argument as a basis that someone is a good coach..

I guess it doesn't matter how much evidence you need there will always some posters who never get it.

On what? I'm just not as extreme as you on the issue of Joe. He makes some good calls and some bad calls. There are things that I don't like/trust about him. But I applaud him when he makes decisions that I feel help the team win, like his timeout-calling in G4. That's how I treat most of our players too.

It's only Brad that's immaculate for me. Guy can't do anything wrong. If Joe and JB are part of his vision, I will blindly but begrudgingly die protecting that vision lol.

What are you talking about?? You call me out All season long and attack me Personally all while never making A basketball debate..

So when this season ends I will call you out just as much as you did to me.. That's not acting like a tough guy.. That's Just giving you what you give out..

If you're going to throw darts at people all year long, Don't complain when they come back for you..

Checked Giddey's number. It's not as bad as that fake (?) tweet. -22 in 53 minutes. +35 when he sits.
