Plus they gave away game one. The fact they got swept doesn't take away they were in the fight the whole series.
Lol "both teams played hard." I wanted the Celtics to play hard for another game. I have thought a lot about how basketball is a game of inches, how the Mavs have come back to win so many of their playoff games, how close the margin in several of them was. Bottom line is, what would have helped the Mavs was the albeit-Haliburton-lacking Pacers *winning a game* against the Celtics, and that didn't happen. They'll never take the Pacers' effort away from them? Effort? That's what 41 said about the ***championship***.
