Not going to lie, I have enjoyed the little break. While I don't get upset watching the games the up and down play of the Mavs gave it quite a whirlwind when I turn on a game to watch. Lately it has been awesome, impressive win and then Ugh, what was that.

Best team in the league in town tonight. Will take a herculean effort for the Mavs to pull this off.

Boston on back to back.
No KP.
Tatum been shit lately.
Easy win today.

I read that Boston has a much better record when KP doesn't play.

Most teams would, because he is a fraud.
Two observations, so far:
The defense has been very strong, including a lot of really effective help defense from Josh green.
People who wrote Kleber off were silly. He is making a significant difference on the defensive end after just a few games back.

Ridiculous. Boston is obviously a strong team this year, so there is no such thing as an easy win against them.
Wha you want to set up here is the ability to downplay a Mavs victory or to lambast them twice as hard if they lose. It’s transparent.

Maybe but Horford is smaller.

Kleber ate it on that one.

You overthink stuff boss.
Boston has been strong for the last 5 years yet Mavs have their number.
You just hate me coz I am right about Omax and you are wrong. So you consider me a troll, which I am far from.
We both support the same team you know. Only difference is I know my stuff and you dont.
Easy win. Watch and see.

Once you realize that it’s a give up open 3s defense and pray they miss, you can’t unsee it.
RE: Game 43: Boston Celtics (33-10) vs. Dallas Mavericks (24-18) - donzingis38 - 01-22-2024
cant watch this game. luka's complaining way too much again. it's just not fun.
RE: Game 43: Boston Celtics (33-10) vs. Dallas Mavericks (24-18) - bodhisattva - 01-22-2024
Luka should be benched.
Timmy out there cementing his Mavs legend status. Dude has pretty much been number 2/3 guy for the last 5 years, yet people wanna trade him for...well...last 5 years.

Lol
Oh, look…ANOTHER game that would be an embarrassing blowout if Hardaway wasn’t keeping the Mavs connected.
RE: Game 43: Boston Celtics (33-10) vs. Dallas Mavericks (24-18) - KillerLeft - 01-22-2024
Man, Luka looks rough.

I'll go there.
At least 4 years for me.
Not a fan of his on-court product.
He can score some nights. No doubt.
Cant trust the dude to make the best bball play, though.

Actually, he pretty consistently makes the right pass when it’s obviously there, and this year he has been really great at driving and shooting pull ups from the mid range.
What I don’t think people understand is that he is being told to shoot most of those shots. He probably has a fairly specific number range of attempts they expect from him.
RE: Game 43: Boston Celtics (33-10) vs. Dallas Mavericks (24-18) - Chicagojk - 01-22-2024
Man Celtics just toying with Mavs. Just making the extra pass and getting great looks. Mavs off ball defense is so bad and you may even call lazy at times.
Really disappointed in Luka tonight. Refs got in his head early and then he tried to make it a one on one contest when Brown was taking it to him. His body language looks awful too.
What is the deal with Lively on fast breaks. Ugly. lol.
Mavs offense is all self creation. Total difference between both teams.

Yeah hes streaky. And only thing that he can do is shoot, but i have a feeling, he is one of those guys that you dont really appreciate until you lose him.
...
Meanwhile Embiid got 70, KAT has 60 with 8 minutes to go and Luka out there missing layups.
Maybe not so easy win.
