    Kyrie better sage the fuck out of the Dallas arena . GG Celtics.

  2. Cj_cruzz

    If Kyrie doesn’t score 30, Mavs lose automatically. Their defense is trash, gives up open shots after open shots because they have no perimeter defense at all and it’s never been more obvious than now.

  3. drgnquest

    Dallas is mentally broken now except Luka.

  4. QuoteOpposite6511

    As a Celtics fan, I am worried about KP’s leg because he has been the difference in both games. If he’s out and the C’s having to play in Dallas, this series could be tied up and have seen it many times before

  5. BillyBronco69

    I can’t believe Luka didn’t intentionally turn over two more times to get that quadruple double

  6. Jswiss110

    Hurts my head thinking that Milwaukee gave up Jrue for some overrated rapper. He’s been huge for Boston.

  7. kolbler22

    How many better rebounding wings are there in the league than Tatum? He’s gotta be in the conversation for best rebounding wing

  8. briguy1313

    I can’t believe the Celtics took their foot off the gas again and let the other team steal a game at home. I totally believe that the Mavs were unable to actually steal it.

  9. 4DGeneTransfer

    Hart is right, but if Mavs had better ball handlers they would have done it ages ago lol

  10. Soren_Camus1905

    Didn’t feel sharp tonight offensively, look forward to getting back on track in game 3

  11. crazy_eric

    The problem with this game are refs are humans and make mistakes. When are we going to have the technology to make refereeing fully automated and robotic?

  12. jakestephenlacroix

    That “foul” at the end probably would’ve been called with a review. Stuff like that can be very hard to notice at the pace of the game so don’t blame the refs. Blame the Mavs for wasting their review on an obvious foul

  13. Anyone who is surprised at this outcome is either blinded by hate or just wasn’t paying attention to how dominant this Celtics team is when healthy. Looking at these comments it’s probably more A than B.

    Damn dont want boston to win but jrue holiday is just a winning player, knew this during his 2018 performance against dame. Milwaukee trading jrue for dame is probably done 10 times out of 10 but damn it wasnt that good of a trade

  15. spartan345

    It wasn’t even a block he just got stuffed by the rim lol

  16. ManagementPitiful450

    That was a must win for Dallas GG’s

  17. Jeevigyan-vala

    We’re 3 all-defense first teams and 1 dpoy from needing to have a conversation about gary payton and jrue…and to be fair Holiday probably should have a dpoy over smart anyway

  18. Cj_cruzz

    I’ve never seen a superstar get blown by over and over and over with only the first step in all my years of watching basketball.

    Dude is capable of giving effort on the defensive end but he WAITED UNTIL THE END.

  19. Frozen_Shades

    Can a player on the losing team be Finals MVP?

  20. ArtVanderlay69

    Is Luka the only guy who actually gets fatter as the season progresses?

  21. RetrospectsToo

    Regardless of how the refs called the game, Mavs win if they hit their free buckets.

  22. Ballwhacker

    Something I’m a bit confused on. Everytime Kyrie drives he seems to bounce off the defender. Does he not get a blocking call there because he bounces back? If he instead just fell down would that constitute the foul? I’m always a bit miffed at how blocking is called.

  23. Dry-Peach-6327

    Time to hear the Jayson Tatum “uhhhhh” on Scott van pelt

  24. Adesanyo

    Why is Tatum on SVP after that performance lmao

  25. whoisdavidpena

    Celtics have been a top 3 seed in the East for 8 of the last 9 years for reference lol

    0 titles

    If you’re reading this, be prepared for the same legendary choke job 😂

  26. Kyrie will forever be a robin to someone’s batman. I feel bad for Luka

  27. XXmynameisNeganXX

    First the Denver Nuggets got eaten by the Wolves then the Wolves got eaten by the Mavs and now the Mavs are gonna get eaten alive by the Boston Celtics

  28. A-Centrifugal-Force

    I’m shocked ESPN is doing a legit postgame show. I can’t remember the last time they did a real one that lasted more than 5 minutes. Normally they just kick it over to SportsCenter

  29. IcetrayicetraySPLASH

    That “block” by white was all hand. Why does shitty ass ESPN not say that instead of lying and hyping up that shitty block wich shoulda been a foul

  30. Sigerlion

    Where are all those Mavs fans defending Kyrie’s “one bad game” last game?

  31. Cj_cruzz

    Watching Luka makes me regret I wasn’t around for Jordan’s era. Dude was just the most complete and competitive player on both sides and gave all out effort.

    Can only imagine how that was watching in real time.
