Mavs in 7
Celtics sold to win in game 5 at home.
Go mavz
I'm going for the Celtics to win their 18th title. However, the Mavericks literally beat respect out of me with this dominant performance in Game 4 of the 2024 NBA Finals. They were determined to not let Boston sweep them.
Watching in the Philippines
Let's GO MAVS ✊🏻
1 game at a time!
Well duh boston threw the game to win at home
Mavs in game 7

Mavs in 7
Mavs avoided the sweep and Kyrie's 13-game losing streak versus Celtics is over. Mavs with the statement and great overall performance for the team.
its to late
Let the “Mavs in 7” overreactions begin!!!
Boston Celtics are some of the dumbest NBA players ive ever watched they play like three's is only to do in basketball they run from the lane for layups the way Lebron and Shaq use to duck shooting free throws smh they act the if they drive to the basket they will get arrested or get put in the lonley corner by the school principal smh so frustrating watching these talented brothas play so poorly
I think this series is capable of going 7. However I don't think it'll be easy for Dallas. This blowout was just a natural reaction of 1 team finally showing up to the series MENTALLY & DEFENSIVELY while having the best 2 scorers imo. Dallas still has to bring this intensity for the rest of the series because Boston is too well rounded to be allowed easy baskets all game like in games 1-3. Playing at Boston and keeping this level of focus will be a hell of a task for Dallas
The script real , its gonna be game 7,. Mafias are behind the NBA ..
Mavs fans finnaly coming out from the sewers is crazy.
Boston forget they had a game tonight
Mavs won because Luka stopped complaining to the refs and played DECENT defense.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
it was over the second lively hit that 3
Celtics lost unpurpose so they could win on Monday for game 5 in Boston… All part of the plan 😈
Mavs in 7
MARK MY WORDS, THE DALLAS MAVERICKS WILL WIN THIS SERIES IN 7 GAMES.
MAVS in 7 till it ain't‼️
Only if Mavs were like this in the first couple of games. They live to see another day.
This ass whooping was satisfying to watch
"The largest lead in a final game since the last 5 years" 9:23
The best NBA team got utterly destroyed. Luka filling out them adoption papers.
Pressure on Boston. They lose Monday it’s going 7
Vegas and Celtics knew they were losing before game began 😅
DALLAS MAVERICKS WINNER: GAME 4 OF THE 77TH ANNUAL NBA FINALS
Boston misses felt different tonight. Why? Because they weren't allowed to get any of the shots that they wanted. This is the Luka effect when he plays higher level defense
CONS :
– Trade Derrick Jones in the off-season. Junior's got Jordan Poole problems.
– Somebody in the team is allergic to shooting 3's. Maxi should peel off the pads and get quiffy with it.
Mf looking like Tiktok Luka.
– Joe Mazzulla would beat the whole Dallas roster in a FT shoot-out. Embiid would out shoot this roster using the twitchy eye.
PROS:
– Lively has the potential to be a taller Kevon Looney and an alley oop machine.
– Dante can become the X factor. Got the frame, the hops, and the shooting form. Could be this team's Grant Williams.
– The CONE started moving.
Congratulations Dallas maverick
Gah lee, I watched this game with my dad, and he went upstairs midway through the 4th quarter.
How the bench players of Mavericks score same as Brown and Tatum
And please no, "they wanted to win in their town."
People said the same crap about Wolves vs Nuggets Game 6, and that the Nuggets sold on purpose. Bc what happened next people?
Im not saying the Mavs will win the whole thing, bc 156 other teams didnt. Im just asking to not fill the comment section with bullsh*t excuses on why the Celtics lost by 49
Jayson Tatum : Yeah I'm soft
Jaylen Brown : hold my baby bottle.
This is what happens when Luka actually tries on defense. Great job of him setting the tone to get his teammates involved 👏. Let's see this same energy at the Garden.
THE DALLAS MAVERICKS RESPOND WITH A MASSIVE VICTORY OUT OF FRUSTRATION OVER LOSING TO THE CELTICS! GREAT WIN FOR DALLAS, NOW IT'S TIME TO SEE HOW THE CELTICS WILL RESPOND BACK IN BOSTON ON MONDAY NIGHT IN GAME 5 💯!
bIGGEST BEATDOWN I EVER SAW, CELTIC FANS SHOULD BE VERY SCARED, MAVS IN 7
3-1 against a juggernauts, we have seen this before
I told you. The script is in. Dallas down 0-3 then make history and win 4 straight to make Luka some type of hero Jordan es. Is all rigg.ed and scripted. I knew Dallas was going down 0-3 then win 4 straight. I predicted that before the series started lol
Everytime I see something like this. I pray to see the first 3-0 comback
Mavs fans wanna act all tough now, just to get dog walked. Celtics in five. – A Houston fan
Refs in Luka pocket for the rest of his career 🤮
What the hell was that about did the Celtics just lose this game on purpose just so they can win it at home well be careful what you wish for they say and if the Celtics blow this 3-0 and lose the series I will never watch basketball again.
The mavs are only delaying the inevitable.
