Celtics-Mavericks Game 3 Reaction: I’ve got my broom ready! – Stephen A. | NBA Countdown

the Boston Celtics withstood that Furious 22-2 run by the Dallas Mavericks held on to take a 30 series lead here in game three we’re going to break it all down now with Bob Myers Paul George Michael wilbon Stephen A Smith I’m Malika Andrews all right let’s dive into this one gentlemen no team has ever come back from down 03 in the history of the game so PG I’m going to start with you on this one can the Dallas Mavericks do they have enough to over come what we just saw I thought we saw probably the best version when you talk about Luca and Kyrie playing at a high level both of them being elite shot makers in this game tonight I just don’t think they have enough I think they’re outmatched when you think of how well JB is now playing or or JT is now playing and how well JB’s been playing and then you got guys that can just win games for you on rebounding extra possessions like Drew and and Derek white uh I thought porzingis the L of him was going to be big it proved to be not um they looked amazing tonight they’re just so deep Bob yeah I mean again I’m Brad Stevens uh Joe Missoula uh the role players and the Stars they all were there everybody showed up for the Boston Celtics team and credit the fact that they didn’t have porzingis either and they came out and went on the road these game threes are tough cuz this is like a Knockout Punch Yeah you lose this game three at home and and they’re not going to admit it the Mavericks aren’t going to admit it but the nobody’s come back from this you know and so it it was a masterful effort by Kyrie Irving donic was donic he’s been great the whole time but uh can’t criticize Tatum and brown I mean they showed up but also I just like watching the winning plays from holiday and white and Horford for that matter and for a Star to have those guys make him plays takes the pressure off Tatum and brown so a team win for the Celtics and a big road win but that’s the difference taking the pressure off Tatum and brown Dallas doesn’t have anybody to take the pressure wasn’t even out there for the final couple all the pressure was on Kyrie last three plus minutes of the game and that’s where you started to really see sitting next to ball watching the end of that game you mentioned it it’s two but they need to have somebody else and that somebody else really wasn’t available they don’t have that right now listen Boston deserves all the credit in the world y’all just gave it to them I’m certainly not going to take it away from them we saw what we saw from the entire team particularly without the services of foringas we get all of that I got two people that I’m targeting in terms of I’m disappointed with Tim Hardway Jr played 19 minutes when I say a donut I mean you didn’t even have a foul but he’s been add yeah what did I just say Malika he didn’t even have a foul not a foul zero fouls I mean that’s just a pathetic performance let’s get that out the way I’m not that high on Luca’s performance tonight I know he had 27 but it was on 27 shots let me also highlight this Paul George you know this pace matters pace of play matters Rhythm matters Kyrie is flowing he’s getting to his spots when he wants he’s hitting threes he’s hitting floaters in the lane pull-ups in the lane Etc and then Luc is holding on to the ball and dribbling and holding it on entirely too much the only thing he did more than hold on to the ball was argue with the rest all night no wonder he fouled out and so I’m just I’m like listen Luca is Sensational he’s great this was not his Shining Moment he had something to do with losing his inj give the ball to Kyrie King Drive and Kyrie should have had the ball in those situations do you think that this is going to be a it’s over it’s over I got my broomstick you got your broomstick I only have one more we have to go back but I have one more very important question before we go your soup color for game four will be um I don’t know I didn’t bring my black with me I didn’t bring my I got something in the store but it’s like tiger and Sunday red [Music] Jimmy NBA [Applause]
