6/14 - Finals Game 4 @ DAL – Only Championship Banners

[lars10]

That Tatum offensive foul is so typical of when they start getting frustrated and going ISO.

It's been a defensive foul the other way all game.. Irving jumped into him just as much as Tillman did to Luka.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Feel like you really gotta end this in G5 or else it’s gonna get real hot in here.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

White gets it.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I think they thought Dallas was going to rollover.

 

[Caspir]

Going to get stomped out and have Dallas with momentum coming back to Boston.

 

[TomRicardo]

That was the first time in over 15 minutes that the offense looked right

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Dallas gets different rules. Beyond obvious the message was sent to extend the series

Don’t need to send any message. Foster is the ref. There’s a reason he’s known as the series extender.

 

[ifmanis5]

At least they strung some passes together.

 

[ragnarok725]

Am I crazy or are they doing more commercial breaks?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Getting owned by Lively.

 

[TrapperAB]

The only positive I can see is that Dallas will be tired in the 2nd half — they’re running all over the place

 

[Ale Xander]

Get it down under 20 at the half and down under 11 after 3 and they have a legit shot

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Maybe they just want to win it at home? They look terrible.

The lack of intensity in a game in which they could win the championship is pretty alarming. Like, wtf?

 

[Reverend]

That was the first time in over 15 minutes that the offense looked right

This.

I put in a ticket in the Mazulla Ball thread asking why.

 

[Manzivino]

They were not prepared for Dallas’ desperation and they don’t know what to do when they can’t drive by guys.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Going to get stomped out and have Dallas with momentum coming back to Boston.

Completely meaningless.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

It's been a defensive foul the other way all game.. Irving jumped into him just as much as Tillman did to Luka.

Agreed---I have no problem with that call so long as it's consistent. And it has not been.

 

[OnWisc]

I still think they win this one.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

It’s hilarious that we aren’t even at halftime and we have posters worried about game 5.

 

[katnado]

Don’t need to send any message. Foster is the ref. There’s a reason he’s known as the series extender.

That was my point, making him the ref for this game was the message.

 

[daburgaman]

The other issue if they don’t get it a little closer - Luka will get the whole 4th quarter off and be fresher for game 5.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

I still think they win this one.

You and me both

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

D is now mostly fine, but the offense isn’t there. Credit to the Mavs for nailing rotations, but Cs shotmaking has been atrocious. That Jrue jumper in the lane was embarrassing

 

[lars10]

Going to get stomped out and have Dallas with momentum coming back to Boston.

honestly who gives a fuck. Dallas aren't winning game five if it gets there.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

That was my point, making him the ref for this game was the message.

Gotcha

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Tatum and Brown need to just fucking sit at 10 feet from the hoop and shoot open jumpers. The looks are there and they are passing out of it every time.

 

[JakeRae]

At least they eventually blew the whistle.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Ha. What a late whistle

 

[Patriot_Reign]

Feel like you really gotta end this in G5 or else it’s gonna get real hot in here.

This series was never going to be a sweep, but the Mavs are F'ed by playing game 5 in Boston.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Wow and now that doesn’t go in.

 

[bosockboy]

We can’t finish anything.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

OH FUCK OFF WITH THAT MISS

 

[Auger34]

They were not prepared for Dallas’ desperation and they don’t know what to do when they can’t drive by guys.

They’ve missed a TON of open looks

 

[Brand Name]

Whistles have been incredibly late tonight, and that’s been the case both sides. Not great.

 

[CleverLettuce]

At the fucking watch party. They should give us our money back.

 

[Jake Peavy's Demons]

Am I crazy or are they doing more commercial breaks?

Got to get in as many as they can before people click off the game for the rest of the night.

 

[Senator Donut]

That was the first time in over 15 minutes that the offense looked right

Yeah, prettiest ball movement on a shot clock violation lol, and I’m not joking

 

[Reverend]

I still think they win this one.

Who are you?

 

[lars10]

The other issue if they don’t get it a little closer - Luka will get the whole 4th quarter off and be fresher for game 5.

Luka hasn't shown he can play all four quarters at any point this series.

 

[OnWisc]

I welcome the other rim in the second half.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Foster is so, so bad....that's the second call he completely waited to see what happened with the shot.

Hey, asshole, it's a foul or it isn't ---the shot dropping has noting to do with it.

I guess you could say at least hes' given each team one of those?

He probably has a bet on the game

 

[Ale Xander]

Rebound maybe?

 

[Dollar]

Mavs getting all the fumble luck too. Every bounce is going their way.

 

[lars10]

Lively just never has to leave the lane apparently.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

And can’t rebound again. They will have a long weekend of film if this holds

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

They literally cannot get a defensive rebound

 

[ragnarok725]

Anyone feel like putting a body on Lively? Like at all?

 

[Manzivino]

Fucking hell put a body on Lively

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

We need Kornet.

 

[lars10]

Rebound maybe?

Their bigs are just staying in the lane... hard to box someone out when they never have to move.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The Mavs have thrown the ball away like four times only to have it land in someone’s lap.
