Celtics through, Bucks out
Really starting to lean towards the winner of the East will win the finals.
Better contributions from the supporting cast, 3pt shooting and without Middleton the spacing for the Celts defence was just easier.
Happy for Tatum, Brown and Coach Udoka.
Two very different styles in the Heat and Celtics coming up. Celts love the 3, Heat play outside in, using Bam and Butler inside.
both teams are very good defensively too
-
A nice start here from the Mavs. Exploiting mismatches, playing it at their pace, forcing the Suns into tough shots, running them off the 3pt shot.
-
This is some defensive effort from the Mavs. Crowding Book and CP3. Ayton is 7 foot but playing like he’s 5’10.
-
Suns are going to have to play a 2nd half for the ages to get out of this one.
-
Dinwiddie and Doncic putting on a clinic.
-
Woohoo Luka with the pirouette 3pt shot
-
Suns crowd booing at half time.

we'll they are getting fucking pumped at home in a G7 and they have scored less than 30 points in a half
I would boo as well.
-
I'm watching the game but what's most amazing is the box score with no suns in double figures.

The perimeter defence from the Mavs was superb. They crowded the key Suns players. Then add the shot making from Luka, Dinwiddie and Brunson (in the 2nd half) and the game was basically over by half way through the 2nd quarter.
Juicy matchup coming up with the Warriors. They will crowd the perimeter guys for the Warriors, but the Warriors are a better passing team than the Suns, so should be an intriguing series.
GP2 being out still is huge because he is a guy that can switch on to bigger players.
-
Well that was a shit game, but a glorious result for a number of reasons.
- we get to watch Luka a bunch more times this year
- we can stop calling CP3 the point God now that he's 3 &. 5 in Game 7s including losing the last 4. He's also the first player to lose 5 series up 2-0. Did I mention that he's a whining cheating bitch too? Pretty Harden-esq apathy today.
- Crowder played like he's supposed to, which is absolute shit
Dinwiddie was immense today. Brunson good in the 2nd, but they did this in spite of him, the Suns were already broken by then.
Good times

First shot Luka takes and those in the expensive seats are giving it to him.
Next one he hits from the same side and they are still chirping.
After he hits his 4th in a row, Luka is the one talking and there’s quiet from the sidelines.

@ACT-Crusader So close to a perfect slate!

Haha

So so good. Amazing they didn't throw doubles at him, force him to give the ball up early, especially when Brunson was cold.
Paul had 1 point through 3 quarters I see from that clip, which is especially amazing when you consider he's shooting > 50% for the series (as well as in this game)

With the 4 teams left I'll have to get on the Mavs train.
I actually like all 4 remaining teams which is nice. I'll also probably be on the Mavs, then Boston, and I can't split Miami or GSW, maybe GSW by a whisker

@voodoo As a 80s Lakers fan I can only hate the Celtics.
Fair play, good to maintain the rage over decades!
Reckon there wouldn't be a Laker fan out there though that wouldn't happily trade the entire Laker roster for Bostons !
Quality coaching, team play, consistent effort, first rate defense, decent guys.
Oh, and they're in the playoffs 😀
