GAME 3 NBA FINALS: Boston Celtics (2-0) vs. Dallas Mavericks (0-2)

[audiosway]

We badly need a decent bench. We don't have a Jason Terry or even a JJ Barea. Zero poins from THJ/Kleber/Hardy is straight up embarrassing. Crazy all we ask for is one shot made from each of them and we got a series.

This is exactly what I've been talking about. People keep talking about Luka's bad defense and him complaining here and there. None of that is THE problem. 

In 77 minutes of the Finals Jones Jr has 18 points.
In 27 minutes THJ has 0 points. (Averaging 14.4 points per game this season)
In 43 minutes Maxi has 2 points. (Averaging 4.4 points per game this season)
In 19 minutes Exum has 5 points. (Averaging 7.8 points per game this season)
In 56 minutes Green has 10 points.(Averaging 8.2 points per game this season)
In 17 minutes Hardy has 13 points. Garbage time. He's too young just yet for this moment.

Maxi and THJ need to sit. Green needs to take more shots if he is going to be on the floor. Jones Jr too.

That is unacceptable. That is the difference between Dallas being down 3-0 or being up 2-1.

Dallas lost the last 2 games by a combined 14 points. 7 point losses in each game. That's literally 3 possession games.

Last night and in game 2 the bench should have provided 10 points not counting Lively. That's 2 wins.

Boston really isn't playing their bench. The bench players for Boston are only getting about 12 mpg for 3 players.

That means that Jones Jr needed to be able to score more. Or Josh Green needed to take more than 2 shots in 22 minutes. He was 50% from the field. Are you telling me that in 22 minutes he can't take more than 2 shots?

Jones Jr took 2 shots in 15 minutes. He shot 50% from the floor.

Luka and Ky had 62 points last night. They outscored Tatum and Brown.

Two 3 pointers and a 2 per game and it's Dallas 2-1.
