Celtics sweep the Pacers. We will meet them in the NBA finals unless there is a historic meltdown by us

Kleber has been cleared to return tonight

First, Rudy Gobert is a total thug. Doesnt play the game the way it should be played.

Ant had his best game. Kid was driving like crazy.

Dwight Powell is worthless.

Maxi looked very tentative. You can see his shoulder is still killing him

Hopefully Lively will be back for the next game

I was having some unpleasant flashbacks seeing Powell and even Kleber out there last night.

There was one loose ball that Kleber didn't dive on the floor to get Not sure if that was because of his bum shoulder, but that was not a good thing to see.

Bottom line: Mavs need Lively back asap.

im nervous boys

Lively playing?

Still listed as questionable, but he is warming up on the court as I write this.

I think he probably sits out again tonight, but might be ready to go for a possible gm 6.

If we pull this off tonight, we have a full week until the NBA Finals start. They begin on June 6th

Nice 17-1 run to close out this first quarter

This is looking like a fun game! (for Dallas) 48-30 Mavs

Congrats Mavs!
Now go bake some Boston beans!

What a fantastic game (if you are a Maverick fan)!

Luka is simply otherworldly!

If my Alaskan high school would have had Luka, we would have won state.

On my seventh grade team at Midway, we would have done very well

Looks like the prognosticators are making same mistake for the Final. OKC, Minnesota were supposed to be either sweeps or near sweeps by them...

The first rule of playing Luka and Kyrie is that you do NOT talk about Luka and Kyrie.

Since Jordan, I've never seen any players that do a better job of taking trash talk and turning it into pure motivation.

Ant just should have kept a lid on it and played.

Dereck Lively makes history

Question…..the Mavs have some time off. The Stars need to step up their offense. Do you think adding Luka and Kyrie to the Stars could help the Stars win their series?

Odds to win FInals MVP

Jayson Tatum, Celtics: -120 (bet $10 to win $18.33 total)
Luka Doncic, Mavericks: +210 (bet $10 to win $31 total)
Jaylen Brown, Celtics: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
Kyrie Irving, Mavericks: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)

Current odds to win the FInals

Boston -225, Dallas +188

This week, Colin Cowherd expressed doubt that Boston can actually hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy, given what he deemed an easy path out East and the lack of a dominant superstar.

Boston is 12-2 in these playoffs and went 41-11 against the East in the regular season.
.
"They are very, very good, and very skilled, but they're not great," Cowherd said on "The Herd." "And I don't know how to make the Celtics go from very good to great. And that's where it's interesting. Jayson Tatum is their best player, but offensively, he mostly floats off the ball. He does not take the game over. He is not [url=https://www.foxsports.com/nba/luka-doncic-player]Luka [Doncic][/url]. His personality is not alpha.

" … If you watch the Celtics play, on five different possessions, they could have five different Celtic players score. It would look fantastic, but it's almost too collaborative."

We almost got to go to game 3. My wife found section 115 tickets for $250 each, however she couldn't figure out if it was legit or a scam so we didn't do it.

D-Day minus 1.
