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

[Mavs2021]

Gafford should not be on the floor

Why? You think he makes Luka not play defense. This is all on Luka not on Gafford not being able to guard Holiday.

[Chicagojk]

Really frustrating Kyrie had 3 stinkers in Boston. No nice way to say it but Boston has his number.

[BigDirk41]

This is just embarrassing at this point. Super low effort.

[Berknip]

It’s infuriating when you can’t even rebound on a free throw miss.

[Mavs2021]

That summed up these finals. Maybe they just ran out of gas.

[bubbler86]

The missed FT/Celts rebound suggests Dallas has packed it in. Luka is almost hiding at times and not seeing the ball.

[GATA]

PJ Washington lazy as hell. Should not be playing

[Chicagojk]

Just awful effort. Led by Kyrie and Luka. But no one else stepped up too. Just all arroind bad. No fight. Was happy with one win.

Boston is the better team but I was expecting to make them earn this game. They did. Mavs made it way too easy.

[bubbler86]

Despite this result so far, this is still better than being swept.

[The Jom]

If Al freakin Horford is allowed to stiff arm our guys in the nuts on the way to the rim, and then gets free throws for it, don’t think we can blame the fellows in blue and white. But you all are the pros. I’ll hang up and listen.

[BolsDamols]

It would be nice for THJ to come in and hit 5 straight threes right about now

[Berknip]

It would be nice for THJ to come in and hit 5 straight threes right about now

He’ll allow 6 threes on defense so it won’t matter. 

[SwisherPrice]

If Horford comes back another year then the Celtics should be favored in the East again. And that's bad news for Kyrie

[Mavs2021]

We are a Horford three away from all five Boston starters having more points than Luka.

[GATA]

Kyrie sucks. Don’t want this guy on the team going forward

[Chicagojk]

Luka looks exhausted or dejected out ther. Maybe both

[Berknip]

Luka just doesn’t have anything tonight.

You're lucky that the Mavs performance is so frustrating that I don't even feel like trolling...

[Scott41theMavs]

Hey, Luka! If you don't believe, then you shouldn't be here!

[ThisIStheYear]

Luka came up very small tonight. His rep has taken a beating in this series. The Mavs will need to make some changes in the offseason, but they’ll need Luka to be better more than anything.
