Because Celtics did not contest his shot and not playing defense. But in G5 Lively is a "mess" and afraid of throwing 3's... so DMs lost because they are mismatch with Boston's defense.
The thing with the Mavs is we have no idea what they are capable of. They have found a way in every series thus far and were underdogs in every one. Did they figure something out? hmmm I can't wait to find out
🤣🤣🤣... in G5 they showed that they cannot beat the BCs. They aren't capable of winning against Boston because they found no way at all. Celtics came to play in G4 but not to win because they planned out to bring home the celebration in G5.
Even if he not the one giving order or being the vocal leader, they still look to him. He panics everyone panics, well besides the best backcourt duo in history.
Dallas has figured them out . Game 2 and 3 was close. Dallas will stick it to them Game 5,6 and 7. No team has ever won a finals after getting blown out like that so that cancels the "impossible" 0-3 deficit. Both teams are fighting against history. Lets go Mavs!
Luka and Kyrie shooting 1/14 from three won’t happen again either. Saw some defensive adjustments by Dallas worth talking about. Next game will be a close one.
@@terrycullen5018 i agree, dallas roleplayers definitely stepped up which contributed to the blowout but the reason they won was their defense. i expect an interesting series at the very least if things stay like this
If Mavs plays as great as they just played at home and combine that with how well they had been playing on road .. look.. they seem to be playing better every game
It’s really simple you’re right. KP being out changes the entire game and it really caught up to the C’s in game 4. It’s going to be more of the same in game 5. If the Celtics shoot good from 3 they can close it out but the Mavs defense was scrambling so efficiently to contest…
Hm, they were not killed by 3 and shooting luck. It was defence and luck of rim protection, so Celtic will be better but how much better - will they be 20 point or 40 points better?
No team that's amateur enough to do that, also loses by 38 and gets humiliated. No, they lose by 8-10 points at most. They don't manage it in this next game, then obviously that lame strategy doesn't work, because then they have to hand game 6 to the mavs too. I don't think any team is that dumb to leave it up to game 7. Any team that gives up on two games to win at home is definitely bush league.
@@danem.9402 ?? not at all lol, your team got one game and all these mavs fans saying mavs in 7 now 😂 yall gonna be disappointed when the celtics close it out monday
I figured the NBA would bring Scott Foster in to extend the series a few games and he did, might even extend to 7 if Dallas plays good. I expected a Dallas win, but I didn't see a blowout coming. Refs can end the series when they want, from what I've seen Mavs were playing better and more physical defense. When they play defense like that, its all on the refs to call or not call weak fouls. So refs can control the game that way unfortunately. That Gafford block could have been a foul call easily. Just from the highlights alone there was a lot of incidental contact. The difference going forward is gonna be if the refs call it or not. I hope they don't cause if they do and the refs start calling that and killing the Mavs momentum, Celtics will win. Celtics won 2 games due to refs killing Mavs momentum. If the refs dont kill Mavs momentum its clear the Mavs can beat the Celtics. But also Tingus Pingus is out, with him in it Celtics feel like a super team. Without him Celtics look beatable. 7 foot defender makes a huge difference. 1st half is going to determine every game going forward. Whoever you rooting for you better hope they have the lead at halftime, I dont care who wins, I just wanna see some good physical gameplay like the Wolves v Nuggets. The refs swallowed their whistle that whole series and it was amazing.
Every is delusional. They all picked Dallas to win, so they dont care what they just watched. They think the Celtics tried, and they beat them at their best. Lmao😅
Celtics played terrible.. Dallas needed the game more (stating the obvious) and it showed.. Celtics have been the best team all year.. Monday I expect them to take of business .. Dallas did nothing .. Know if they win Monday they have my attention
Boston looked so weak. Embarrassing effort. They're good, but certainly not great. Dallas is so much more fun to watch. Boston doesn't deserve to be champions. Great basketball city though.
They don't deserve to be champions cus they're not fun to watch? Jesus worst take Ive ever seen. Might as well refund the Spurs' 5 championships with that logic.
@@riezv8066first of all I dont think hes implying that they don’t deserve to be champs bcs they are “boring to watch”, rather that their path to the finals was far easier than what dallas had to face. second the spurs are far from boring to watch because they damn near perfected basketball, playing as a team and making all the right passes and decisions unlike boston in game 4 where a lot of their possessions were isolations, esp w jrue and jt
It's fun to watch how aggressive and hungry DMs played in G4. It's so entertaining how Mavs do their best against BCs lackadaisical plays. BCs looks tired of their 10-game winning streak and 12-0 wins against DMs. BCs show slow defense, slow offense, and not rebounding only looking up at the ball during the 1st half. They wanted to go home during 3rdQ and have no energy to fight back thinking they still have the opportunity to win 1 more compared to their opponents who are in dire need of winning 4 straight games (possible but too tall order to accomplish) to win the NBA championship. BCs came not to win but to play and have some fun and give their coach time to experiment on some rotations and see the DMs adjustments. Then back home, to continue giving Irving a complete sweep (13-0) in G5.
Honestly if you didn't have Tony Brothers rigging the game for the Celtics in game 1 and 2 when it comes to fouls and free throws the Celtics would not have won game 1 and 2
@@jimtruscott5670 wasn't a absolute have to win for anyone but Dallas 💯🤦🏿♂️win 3 make sure it's secure take a game break then finish at home 🗣️ with a full healthy roster
