6/14 - Finals Game 4 @ DAL – Only Championship Banners
- Thread starter RSN Diaspora
- Start date
They are doing something on the Cs drives. And the Cs are not adjusting, or making them pay on open looks. Bottom line the Cs can't hit a shot.
Pritchard had that one great shot, otherwise he’s been about as useless as possible this series.
The kicks are late, the shots are off, the blow bys just aren’t happening. Seems like a little mid-range pull up game might help, keeping them less physical on the drives.
Still the better team by a huge margin. Obviously if the bounces and sleepy defense keep going the way they have been, it’s on to game 5. But this team is absolutely capable of winning this game.
Pull a Pop and bench the top six for the second half. Fuck those twits in the league office and their referee inside jobs.
But I'd rather stick it to them and WIN

I didn't put my kid in her Bill Russell t-shirt today. I did for the first three games of the Finals.
It's on me, folks.

Yeah. But I don’t think they’ve been moving the ball in the ways that allow him to excel. He’s that sick off ball cutter guy who exhausts defenses. That requires movement and rotation. Which is the hallmark of the Celtics… most nights.
basically came into this game with no sense of urgency, knowing (assuming) they will win a championship back home. So, when you go through the motions, on the road, against a team facing elmination this is exactly what you get. No shocker.
That was
While it is 13-10, the Mavs are just saying fuck it and getting away with murder where the Celtics are getting called tighter than any game since the All Star game.
He did.

That's gonna happen when you get fouled on a lot of those attempts but no foul is called.
Dallas desperation and better D, Celts boredom and refs leveling the playing field leads to some ugly hoops. Let's hope they get this shit out of their system tonight
I know this isn't why they're down 26 at half, but watching Luka get away with the forearm push off on every drive and then Tatum get hacked at the other end without a call does get tiresome.
Well I was totally wrong to think Scott Foster wouldn’t be a problem.
Plus the Celtics playing awful on offense and weeeee

Kyrie isn’t playing defense he is bear hugging Tatum every play and daring them to call it. They’re not doing enough to force calls.
White drew two in a row throwing his head back.

Yeah, driving into traffic and stuff. But where’s the thing where they get him open looks from the dunker spot? Or driving on a defense collapsing late after he cut because they were spread out? That’s the stuff.
They are shooting 29.7%. They are shooting 26.3% on threes (hardly any of those contested). I'm really not, unfortunately.
This. We’re taking threes because everyone’s getting mugged when the drive (and defenders are allowed to camp out in the lane).
Mavs getting much better looks and controlling the boards. This is not a shooting variance game. Just getting out worked and out executed.
Jrue is 1-6 on some really, really bad shooting.. it's not been anyone else's fault.
They've been mocked mercilessly, especially Luka, for the past 48 hours. It's not shocking that they're putting forth more effort. Just sucks that the C's decided not to match their energy level.
Sometimes shooting percentages are a result of the quality of your offense, not dice rolls
It’s 29-13 on the glass. Yeah the offense and shooting has been horrible but the overall effort is not there. Very disappointing they weren’t ready for this game.
I’m talking about the looks he’s been getting. I don’t deny he’s missing the shots he’s taken.
I guess what I mean is in “into the game.” I don’t get why the Celtics aren’t “playing their game.”
Could argue Dallas should really be up more based on the 2nd chance volume.
So if he was 4-6 and the Celtics were down 20 instead of 26 everything would be fine?
Come out, play hard, take the right shot, don't even look at the refs, hope Dallas cools off and it gets close, the end it. Q3 of game 3 is a good model.
All of this is bad.

Boston's 35 first-half points is the fewest in an NBA Finals game since June 15, 2010 when the Celtics scored only 31 against the Lakers (Game 6). The 26-point differential is the fourth largest in NBA finals history.

He's missed at least two layups..by a lot. DW and Jrue haven't been making shots and I don't think it has to do with them getting enough passes. Celts offense does look off though.
