[exculpatory]

Stomp Kyrie.
WIN!

[CelticsPride18]

The Luka fans superbowl

[playa-hater]

Losing to lebron is the worst.. Irving and luka would be tied for second.. I actually hope k p tears dallas a new you know what..

[zoyathedestroya]

Kyrie Irving has an active nine-game losing streak against the Celtics.



He still hasn't won in TD Garden (0-4) since stomping on the logo.

[JimmyFromNz]

Kristaps has a strong revenge game streak.

Although Dallas are more solid up front than a month ago and Lively has a bright future, forcing him to make tough decisions on when and how to 'show' for Luka/Kyrie in the KP pick n roll is the recipe for success in my opinion. There are just too many liabilities for him to cover.

[165bows]

Smoke these fools.

[Fierce1]

Mavs are going to be a little tired after being on the road the last few games.

I still expect the Mavs will put up a fight.

[zoyathedestroya]

The Celtics now have just one main rotation player with below average TS% -- Payton Pritchard. They amazingly shot a league-leading 63.8% TS% in February, their 3rd highest mark in a single month since 1982-83.

[playa-hater]

I know we are in the Dog days of mid-season etc.. But only 8 replies in a thread against a Dallas team with Puka and Cryrie doesn't seem right.

so let me do my part!

Smash Cyrie so bad that Luka Puke-ah

PP is one of the few players willing to throw up last second buzzer beaters to end quarters while everyone shoots after the buzzer as to not affect their shooting %.

Willing to bet he'd be up there with the rest if he didn't do that.

He’s taken 11 EOQ buzzer beating threes for the season. Had he taken only 5 of those 11, yeah, he’d be slightly above league average in TS%

I still expect the Mavs will put up a fight.

Celtics have the only 9-1 trailing record in the league right now.

Mavs one of a few teams with 8-2. That includes a home stomping of the Thunder and a road win against the Knicks.

2 of those losses are recent, however. So they may want to get well against us, like Denver did earlier.

Anyhow, we're unlikely to be tired or take them lightly, so it should be fine.

I hated that trait in Brogdon, who deliberately shot late.

I forgave him, mainly, after he tried and made a heave in the playoffs.

Various Dallas references in this thread: viewtopic.php?p=111703153#p111695797

Plus a lot of cattle-ranch puns.

Read on Twitter

If we go 0-5 or worse, shut down the season.

[165bows]

Dallas kind of appreciated that team for quite awhile but they seem full in insufferable at this point.

Their supporters on twitter certainly are.

Many of their fans are obsessed about Tatum and Luka being better than him.

Granted they aren't as toxic or nowhere near as pathetic as Heat fans, I have no idea why they have gotten this bee in their bonnet against us and esp JT.

We are not a conference/divisional or historical rivalry.

Or maybe I am spending too much time on the bile berge that is Twitter/X ??

That's a lot of teams that are going to be cooled off in the next 5 games.

Yeah the Tatum/Luka thing plus they used to like to claim there team was well run but it’s obvious now it’s not at all, and that’s another jealous point.
