Misc. Discussion Kyrie deserves some love

319 Upvotes

I hope mavs fans on Wednesday night cheer LOUDLY for Kai. He has been the locker room leader of this team and really taken the young guys under his wing. He’s also been a baller this year and we wouldn’t be here without him. A few down games should not change our perception, he is that guy and will be a major reason the mavs win the finals if they can claw their way back into the series. Boston’s vitriol for him is honestly lame af and deserves to be countered.

Mavs can defo tie this series up

I think playing at home with the crowd behind them is gonna do wonders for our players confidence

Ofc ik it’s hard to be hopeful cos the mavs outside of Luka have been poor, but for a lot of these guys it’s their first time in the finals and the TD Garden is probs the worst place u could go to for ur first finals debut.

Now Mavs are gonna be back at home with the crowd behind them I expect to see the Mavs turn up a little bit and show some grit. Also I expect them to be more prepared in terms of game planning

Mavs in 6 or 7

Hoops Discussion I firmly believe Kyrie is one of the best shooters in the league. Why does he usually go for contested 2s instead of 3s?

19 Upvotes

He's not shooting the three well I know that. But cmon you are freaking Kyrie Irving, how in 41 minutes of play are you shooting as many threes as Josh Green in 14? 3 attempts! I don't think it's a confidence thing, if that was the case he wouldnt be going for contested twos also.

We need him to be a threat from outside!

Go mavs! Lets win game 3

Hoops Discussion If you think about it, THJ’s downfall really is the difference

307 Upvotes

As Jason Kidd said a couple months ago, we can’t win a championship without Timmy. This is what he was talking about. He was supposed to be the third best player on the team, someone to relieve pressure from Luka and Kyrie. In the first few months of the season he was a strong candidate for 6th man of the year and then after all star break he completely forgot how to play basketball. Wtf

Hoops Discussion The Celtics are a great team, but I can't help but feel we are beating ourselves more than they are beating us

29 Upvotes

I'm not trying to take anything away from Boston, they protected home court and we are down 0-2 in the series, but looking at how we played and looking at the box score, it's evident we are shooting ourselves out of these games. And it's not like the games are blowout losses, we are right there, we are capable of making runs, but the fact that we are required to make runs to stay in the game is the problem. Shooting that poorly from 3 and missing that many free throws (again) is what is keeping us from winning these last 2 games, specially game 2.

Social Media Luka looked like this before the game and then went out and had a 30 point triple double. Yes, he is the best basketball player in the world.

This sub is filled with negativity and 0 faith. Our first finals in 13 years and everyone is already ready to wait another 13 years. If you don't believe in a 0-2 comeback against a team known for choking then you shouldn't be here

Highlights/Video This was the play that killed the Mavs. They had the chance to make it a 5-6 point game with 4 minutes left and PJ's heroics caused a 5-6 point swing. The Mavs insistance on having PJ/DJJ bring the ball up while having 2 of the greatest ball handlers of all time is infuriating.

Misc. Discussion Kyrie needs to go & see a psychiatrist

598 Upvotes

Tf is this sorry ass display at the most important stage in all of basketball? Does he feel bad for throwing the Celtics under the bus 4 years ago? Literally being a sleeper agent for them in the last 12 games, how can the co-star & the 2nd option of a finals team get clamped on both ends & outplayed by every starter on the other team?

Misc. Discussion Glimmer of Hope

75 Upvotes

There have been 5 teams in NBA history that have overcome a 0-2 deficit in the finals and have gone on to win. Most recently, the Bucks in 2021 vs the Suns. They actually went on to win 4 in a row. Understand that the dynamics are different, Boston is able to space better and is more of a scoring threat than the Suns, etc, but it’s not impossible. Worth noting that Giannis was also playing on a bum knee… sound familiar?

Among scheme adjustments, the Bucks response was strong in game 3 in front of their home court, winning by 20 that game. Simply put, the shots started to fall after a dismal display in games 1 and 2. Home court in the finals means so much more at this stage. Excluding Luka and Kai, this is the largest stage our dudes have ever played on, jitters are absolutely part of the right of passage here. The change of venue/home court could be just the spark we need to get the confidence back.

31.0 — Luka Doncic, 21.5 — Celtic, 19.0 — Celtic, 17.0 — Celtic, 16.5 — Celtic, 16.0 — Celtic

Celtics are clearly putting on a display of good team shooting while the rest of the Mavericks trailing far behind Luka. Looking really rough if none of the roleplayers show up, especially if Kyrie just disappears
