GAME 5 NBA FINALS: DALLAS MAVERICKS (1-4) vs BOSTON CELTICS (4-1)

[Chicagojk]

Celtics small ball gives us a lot of problems on defense. But I love how we are attacking going to the rim every possession on offense.

Need to eliminate the second chance scoring opportunities by Boston

[Mavs2021]

Shame Luka and Kyrie decided to no show game 5. They should not even let Luka touch the ball in his own half. Hejust slows everything down, which would be fine, if he could do anything in the half court against this team.

had Luka made that first 3 (which went in and out), this game might have turned out different.

but we are not out of it yet, guys still fighting

Kai had one spin out too. Been that kind of series for us it seems. Celtics get all the bounces.

The second chance pints for the Celtics have been an absolute killer this game. First few as well.

[Chicagojk]

Just keep it in shouting distance. This was never going to be a Mavs game they took from the start. Need to stay close and get a few bounces. Not a bad sign Luka and a Kyrie have not really put a run yet and they are sort of in shouting distance

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Seems like they are a step quicker. They're getting to all the 50/50 balls.

[GATA]

Get PJ off the floor

[BigDirk41]

Why is Lively not playing more!!!

[Chicagojk]

I dont think that was a travel by PJ

[Scott41theMavs]

Too bad we got the punk-ass version of Luka this game. I miss game 4 Luka.

[Mavs2021]

Luka and Kyrie are so bad, we´d be better off with Trae Young in this series.

[GATA]

Well, the season is over.

[Chicagojk]

Big 3 minutes for the mavs. End of the first was bad. Can’t do that again here

[GATA]

Green red hot in first quarter. Hasn’t been back in the game since

[Chicagojk]

I am sorry why is pj bringing the ball up? Kyrie should be doing it if they are pressuring Luka

[GATA]

PJ is totally awful

[BolsDamols]

well at least we are getting green and not hardaway. without green, this is already a blow out

[ThisIStheYear]

PJ and Luka turnovers have been the story of the game.

Well it was worse.  End of first and end of second is the major reason we are down a ton

Tatum has been awesome

[dirkfansince1998]

Mavs leading scorers: DJJ 10. Green 9. Kyrie is missing layups. Luka cannot hit a jumpshot.
