Media overreacts to everything...

Boston was always supposed to win it this year. They have the best overall record and 5 current or former all stars. The former all stars have been playing at an all-star level during the playoffs as well. They have the most loaded roster in the NBA along with some very serviceable role players like Pritchard, White, Hauser.

Can you catch it flat footed and just take a full step without dribbling for the dunk? Probably but looked funny to me

Super depressed when their team doesn't look so good for the moment.

Super elated when their team does happen to look great for a second.

Tatum playing much better, but he still takes way too many iso 3s.

Tatum finally doesn't look like a complete fraud in the finals for once.

He’s been a team player until tonight. Now he’s getting to shine.

I almost want to see 4 minutes of Luka, Ky, Gaff, Lively and PJ. Drive and create or hit the big w a lob or post. DAL only has 7 assists at half but up 30 to 16 paint points. Shooting from 10' in the second half at 70% may be better than 33% from 3.

Kyrie and Tatum both finally showed up on offense tonight. By far their best games. Luka started hot but has taken some bad shots and cooled off dramatically.

Irving 20
Doncic 17
Lively 5
Gafford 4
Jones 2
Edum 2
Washington 1
Kleber 0
Green 0
Hardy 0
Hardaway 0

Dallas gonna need some of the "other guys" to step up, because they haven't shown up in a single game all series. 14 points between 9 players is crazy. Took 14 shots and 3 FTs to score those 14 as well. Kyrie gotta keep playing the way he is...Luka just needs to take better shots. He's forced some bad ones when trying to get calls being frustrated at some missed calls.


Tatum 20
Hauser 9
Horford 8
Brown 6
Holiday 4
White 3
Pritchard 0
Tillman 0

Luka’s problem isn’t hatred from the refs, it’s that he’s so big and strong that he doesn’t look like most guards getting fouled in the paint. When Kyrie gets fouled on a layup attempt he goes flying because he’s tiny. Luka has the strength and body control to still stay upright and get shots off even when getting hacked really hard. It just doesn’t “look” like a foul a lot of the time.

The C’s are gonna win this ball game. 100-97ish. Just a slightly better basketball team unless they just play flat

Gaff and DLive need 22+ combined points tonight at minimum. Having LD/KI go for 65 without their help wont cut it. Both need to work Horford at the rim more, IMO.

There’s only 11 free throws total in this game so far, for better or worse the refs are just not calling fouls for anyone unless it’s egregious

A&M fans are my favorite fanbase. You can give yourself a backhanded compliment and excuse anything.
