I knew the moment was going to be too big for PJ and Jones. They're use to losing.

[GATA]

That is awful

[Mavs2021]

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

It´s already a blowout. Game just like the series was never competitive, if we are honest.

This is a game, where you could easily replace Washington in the starting five with a defensive liability like Simons or Sexton and the games would be completely different game, cause they probably make 3-4 of the open misses by Washington/Kleber.

...and it´s not like this defense could get any more pathetic than it is. F*** them for this effort to allow Pritchard another uncontested three.

although we've come, to the end of the road..still i can't let go

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

Disappointing performance by both.  Especially Kyrie though.  They are really pressing and Kyrie is not even handling ball.

Another missed free throw by Luka and another heave.  

Ouch..not coming back I am afraid.

Boston earned this.  Kicked Dallas but it in a few of these games.

[GATA]

PJ and Kyrie totally useless.

Jones is the leading scorer. So far the moment is too big for Luka and Kyrie. They are playing horrible on both ends.

Mavs shot 49% and getting blown out. Leaving aside the weird ending, it’s all about pathetic rebounding and ball security. Mavs have basically given this one away. Horrible.

[BigDirk41]

It was a great season, but I just wish Luka and Kyrie would have showed up tonight to make it a game.

[Smitty]

Unfortunately Luka and Kyrie couldn’t get going in the first half. C’s are damn good. Hell of a season from our Mavs!

[BolsDamols]

kyrie just has really bad karma in Boston - in Dallas he is an oustanding citizen, but he did some things in Boston that are coming back to haunt him (stomping on the leprechaun among other things)

[bubbler86]

Luka did not look good in the line for the National Anthem and the turnovers and bad 3-pointers have come along with it. Still a half to go. Celts are prone to giving up big leads. Does Luka have some pride to pick himself up?

[GATA]

Green only playing 10 minutes is asinine

[Mavs2021]

I knew the moment was going to be too big for PJ and Jones. They're use to losing.

They have 12 points. DJJ and Green are the Mavs leading scorers. Luka/Kyrie have 14. Luka once again 25% from the FT line. This team won´t be completely unlocked until they get a 3rd guy that can handle the ball and put up 20 points a game, not 20 points a week.

[SwisherPrice]

Luka probably started watching the Euro soccer tournament this weekend and is now thinking about international play. He's over this NBA season!

[BolsDamols]

It was a great season, but I just wish Luka and Kyrie would have showed up tonight to make it a game.

i was just hoping it to be competitive and for Dallas to have a shot in the end.

[Berknip]

Lots of standing around. Low energy. Rebounding is abysmal.

[Chicagojk]

Sucks we got it down to 9 and I said the end of the half was huge. Mavs laid another egg at the end of the quarter. Luka went early too when he could have waited for last ahot

[SwisherPrice]

THJ and Green should get plenty of garbage time in their final appearances in a Mavs jersey. Hopefully the GMs are watching Green make these threes...come get him!
