Go Mavs!!! Time to make it a series.

KP has been ruled out for game 3 according to ESPN.

If there ever is a must win game, this is it.

Joe Mazzulla says Kristaps Porzingis is still day-to-day after being ruled out for Game 3, and that the medical staff just didn’t want to risk putting him out there today.

Mazzulla said the medical team watched Porzingis go through some testing and it was decided he wasn’t good enough to play in this game. Mazzulla had said yesterday this decision would be up to the medical team, and not Porzingis.

I still believe in the Mavs. Start DLive. Run a pick and pop on the first play. Swish! Victory!!

Opportunity for the Mavs. Celtics bench cannot play five out.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

What a start! Let’s go!!!

[BigDirk41]

I'm not sure Luka can sit any. They just cut into the lead pretty quickly with him out. Also Maxi won't shoot. He has to shoot the 3 or sit.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Well. Two straight turnovers by Hardy essentially killed that momentum. We can’t get crushed in the non Luka minutes. I hope Kidd is right to stick with Hardy over Exum, Green, THJ here.

[BolsDamols]

Don't waste the good start.

I'm not sure Luka can sit any. They just cut into the lead pretty quickly with him out. Also Maxi won't shoot. He has to shoot the 3 or sit.

I think we will see him back in for Kyrie here.

[BolsDamols]

I hope Exum gets another shot. not a defensive liability as Hardy

[BigDirk41]

I'm about done with Maxi. Get your shit together man

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Bad Maxi.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

That lead is gone.

[BolsDamols]

>10 point lead is just nothing in today's NBA, esp with Celtics

[BigDirk41]

Those Maxi minutes were terrible.

[SleepingHero]

Maxi has been god awful
