GAME 2 NBA FINALS 2024: Dallas Mavericks (0-1) vs. Boston Celtics (1-0)

Nice poise to draw that foul by Josh.

[Luka77]

FT shooting needs to get better 4-9, terrible. This should have been a bigger lead

[ThisIStheYear]

Kidd’s ill advised challenge was the key play of that quarter. Mavs fortunate Boston couldn’t shoot straight. They need to settle down.

[JamesConway912]

Damn good play from Green there. 

Offense is still really difficult. Tons of pressure on Kyrie / Luka to get their stuff done efficiently. No rim runs at all. 

Man it’s so rough that Kleber can’t buy a bucket from outside. We could really use a dose of efficient five out offense right now.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Does anyone else’s feed on ESPN/ABC get blurry fuzzy on almost every play. Did the same for me Game 1.

[dirkfansince1998]

Mavs sloppy (turnover + missed FTs +bad closeouts leading to FTs). Boston ice cold from three. Would have been nice to take advantage of the cold stretch but I'll take it.

Not a horrible quarter. More rebounds, more points in the paint and more 3’s. I’ll take that every time. Problem is the 10-10 FT. We actually shot 9 FT but only made 5.

[JamesConway912]

Kidd’s ill advised challenge was the key play of that quarter. Mavs fortunate Boston couldn’t shoot straight. They need to settle down.

Looked like they have someone behind the scenes who made that call. Unfortunate whoever made it didn’t get it right.

[Luka77]

Exum with more terrible play

[dirkfansince1998]

Still need to find a way to create easier looks. Luka is playing incredible but relying on him to score 50+ in transition isn't a winning strategy. Need more than three assists.

[ThisIStheYear]

Another dumbass foul.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

D-Live killing us

[BolsDamols]

why are we helping on tatum? let him shoot

[BigDirk41]

Lively needs to man up and play strong. He's killing us.

[GATA]

Can’t win this game with nobody helping Luka

[Chicagojk]

Mavs playing hard but besides Luka the moment seems to big for them.

Kyrie has not been good enough. Lively, Gaff and Maxi playing hard but not making many positive plays. Jones playing hard but again not making any offensive plays.

Not great

[dirkfansince1998]

Celtics outhustling the Mavs again. White, Pritchard or Holiday find a way to get long rebounds and lose balls. Mavs need more from their own energy guys. DJJ, Green or Exum.

[ThisIStheYear]

So effing low IQ play. I can barely watch this crap. I’m out for awhile. I hope the Mavs can find some calm. If they do, they’lll win. Boston is playing its worst game I’ve seen them play. Mavs just need to calm down and execute.

[Luka77]

So far only 3 assists.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Lively made a nice play to get the offensive rebound and DJJ lost it leading to a fastbreak for Boston. Can’t give those away.
