Still a lot of basketball to be played. Dallas playing better this game offensively but the bench has to be better. 4 points so far.

Look, I have never been a GGG fan, but he did some good things in building a young roster coming off 2018. I think he deserves credit for that. 2022 was an adequate result, but we all felt it could have been better. In no way, shape, or form did he do enough to get an extension. And then add to the fact he went out of his way and stated the Gio drama in the press, it was such a no-brainer to move on. It was so obvious this was going to happen. It's almost like we did this before with Arena, Bradley, and Klinsman. Nobody should get a 2nd cycle unless they achieve amazing results--and even then it usually doesn't work out. I'm going to Copa America and I'm going to cheer my ass off, but damn if it isn't always going to be in the back of my mind if it wouldn't be better for us to get run out of the tournament to get a real coach before 2026.

But the players love him! The players have to love the coach!

Almost a carbon copy of the Netherlands game. Greg probably going to say we were the better team in postgame.

Was coming here to say he does not look playable right now. I know the defense didn’t help, but I thought he should have stopped both goals.

Luka has answered the call after being called out for this every series, so I expect it to get better. I also don’t think the Mavs lost due to defense this particular game. They scored 89 points. That cannot happen against Boston.

I think if Boston is going to allow Luka to cook, he just needs to fucking cook and not worry about assists until they change their tactics. They’re gifting him 1-on-1 matchups, so it’s time to smoke them for 40 points and make them re-think that. Also, DJJ needs to stop trying to drive. 1-7 and was 0-3 on dunk attempts. Stick to 3s and alley oops. No need to try anything more than that.

Just a reminder, we were blown out Game 1 against the Clippers and Thunder. They through the first punch. Time to start looking for ways to strike back.

Boston has shot 39 threes through three quarters. That’s insane.

That wasn’t even our worst first half of the playoffs.

I haven't watched much of them either but he's a career 35% 3-point shooter in the playoffs. I would bet that corrects itself in this series some. Unless other teams have found some way to slow him down the Mavs can copy.

We very well might lose the series to Boston, but it certainly isn't going to be because they beat us in the paint. I think the Mavs are going to run with what got them here--meaning they are going to wall off the paint and make Boston win with 3s. I predict we are going to get absolutely blown out in the games we lose and squeak by games we win. Hopefully that's enough to win 4.

I would point out that Indiana team absolutely pantsed us twice in the regular season. I know it's not the same now, but Indiana is a bad matchup for a lot of teams.

So how we feeling going into this thing? KP or not, the fact that they will have 5 shooters on the floor at all times gives me some pause. This isn't like OKC or MIN where you could just not cover a guy like Giddey or Kyle Anderson. I have a feeling there are going to be some real stinkers where Boston just blows us out due to a 3-point variance. I feel pretty confident we're going to win the paint and rebound battle if we can keep our bigs on the floor. Very interesting matchup.

I've never understood this either. It would also be less competition since the NHL will be done with their playoffs. Though I honestly wouldn't mind them keeping the same start date but completely getting rid of back-to-backs. It would help the product in both in the regular season and the playoffs.

So far in this thread, I've learned that Boston has struggled in this playoffs but also hasn't faced any adversity. This is top-notch stuff.

@Bozo_Casanova beat me to it.

NBA 2023-24
Didn’t know that. They’ve certainly cake walked to the finals though. Boston has struggled by winning every series easily? Dallas is hot, Boston has been a consistent team all year. Should be a fascinating series.

I wish I felt as confident. The Mavs on defense have been willing to pack the paint and give up 3s. Boston shoots lights out from 3. Mavs are going to have to dominate the paint.

Like seriously? Booing the guy who just torched you. Maybe give it a rest.

Wolves deserve to lose just for that terrible howl before every free throw. I thought he was going to bury it.- 2023 - 2024 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - I'm watching, just like you guys
Reid should be tossed. That was horse shit.- USMNT 2024
Please stay the hell out of the UK, Weston. I guess Newcastle would be a decent landing spot. He's just in an awkward spot where he's good enough to make better wages than he was on, but not good enough to break the bank for. Would much prefer him to go to another Serie A team. - 2023 - 2024 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - I'm watching, just like you guys
