Game Thread: Boston Celtics (3-0) at Dallas Mavericks (0-3) Jun 14 2024 8:30 PM

Post Game Thread 

They're bringing the series back to Boston to win it. This is what I thought was gonna happen since game 1 lol.

Credit to the mavs, they played great. Nothing else to say

Truly a pathetic effort. I walked away before half time. I knew it was going to be horrid. The refs called nearly zero fouls for Boston and let the mavs get away with everything. Terrible officiating and terrible play by the Celtics. Monday they need to blow the doors off

Don't want to get worried but they need to get their shit together

Didn’t really play D (looked a bit tired), so didn’t get any transition offense going like we normally do. Mavs actually did play D against our sets and we just couldn’t get any shots to fall

Celts needed this beating ... next game they wont play like jack asse%#:

Man fuck all the we lost on purpose bs we played like ass tonight

What the F did I just watch?

Doris looking ROUGH

It doesn’t matter if we lost by 1000. We lost the game. It’s 3-1. Reset and go back home to Boston. Stop crying

I mean, winning at home it’s where it’s meant to be

After all the build up ive had the last couple days, that game gave me blue balls

All the losses have been shooting anomalies

I’m not worried about

Jason Kidd was my second least favorite player as a kid behind Kobe Bryant. Send his ass packing on Monday.

No excuses. Celtics got their asses kicked. Move on to game 5 and lock it up.

not fun

Stop showing Fatcics ass. See you in Boston

I mean this team can accomplish anything it puts its mind to. If they preferred to lose this game, it was done convincingly lol

Pathetic

Cs got mollywhomped by the Mavs, themselves, and the refs, in that order. How they respond in game 5 says more about them than how they performed this game. Looking forward to Monday…

Also, the 2013 heat had a 36 point loss to the spurs and won the title… so not unprecedented.

I hope Joe makes them watch this game all weekend

C’s have to win 1 out of 3 games, with 2 chances to do so at home. Mavs gotta win the next 3. This is how I’m coping at the moment.

It’s cool, imma enjoy hearing the anti Celtics talk for the next few days while waiting for Celtics to destroy Monday for the chip

Well, at least it's not the worst lossbin finals history. Pretty damn close though

Gentleman’s sweep it is

Joe deserves 80% of the blame for this one for now having the “TROOPS” ready for BATTLE

LMAO THEY DROPPED THE CONFETTI. THEY DID NOT LEARN FROM THE SIXERS

Dropping confetti like they won the finals lmao

They brought out the confetti lol wtf

didn't lose by 40, haha suck it mavs fans

LMAOOOO THE CONFETTI

Dropping confetti is fucking crazy

Porzingis getting injured game 2 after we bubble wrapped him all year is so brutal. We should still have more than enough talent to not give up 4 in a row.

Maybe this was the glass of wake the fuck up they needed - they just didn’t come out sharp in any facet of the game but especially shooting and rebounding

Lol, love the confetti

Why wouldn’t the next game be on Sunday?

Kyrie gets to come back to the garden 😜

After a loss like this the garden is gonna be wild

Hopefully we got all the bricks out of the way tonight and come out red hot Game 5.

They dropped confettis. Good sign?

Has there been an eventual champ who got blown out in the Finals (by like 50)?

So nobody else here is worried they could potentially blow a 3-0 lead? I mean this team has a knack for choking.

Lol not the confetti and streamers falling after the game. Oh man.

PP saving us from the worst finals loss ever

Yea we deserve this. It started with bullshit. But we deserved it

Way to give them hope, Cs. I love you, but you baffle me

Streamers? Really?

Celts opened at -7.5 in game 5.

It’s not the biggest loss in finals history, hang the banner

“Don’t forget Dallas has been very very good on the road in these playoffs, 7-4”

Yeah, and the Celtics were undefeated on the road.

Celtics win game 5 by 43 points confirmed, suck it you nerds

The people in here saying that we’re going to lose the series. Don’t even try to celebrate when we win this chip.

PP cook him

Oh well. Im ok with a Gentlemans Sweep. I even said that 2 days ago. Every dog has its day. Let them come back to Boston and we'll give em an ass spanking. And get in Kyrie's head yet once again. They aint winning here. Not even close. Let alone winning 4 in a row. They won this battle, but they aint winnin this war.

☘️☘️☘️🥇🥇🥇🥇

Game started at 2:30 for me… watched the whole thing… let’s go

Ok can we just win by 50 on Monday and I forget this whole game? I'm planning out my parade outfit.

Glad the starters have to watch this shit like the rest of us. Better not let this shit happen again

People freaking out after our first loss in over a month 🤣

Joe needs to cook

My personal mantra is that it ain’t over until a team has won 4. Use this ass-kicking and come correct in Game 5.

I feel like they just gave up in the 2nd and thought fuck it lets just win at home lmao

I can't believe it, can't use the excuse oh, we want to win at home, to fold like that. 40 plus points deficit?? Come on guys, this is the championship game, not a meaningless regular one. Hope this is a slap on the team so they can wake up and focus on Monday.

One fucking rebound is all I ask

Damn. Those offensive rebound bounces. Just all game it's been like that.

The worst thing about tonight is Marcus morris scoring a bucket

Fighting against 42!

These announcers making it seem like the Celtics are down 3-1.

Generational prisoners of the moment in this thread. Team with historic net rating that just won 10 playoff games in a row is on the ropes up 3-1. Y'all going for a guest spot on Felger & Mazz or what?

Kyrie has yet to prove he can play in Boston - so there is that

Monday night for game 5 should be interesting. If we win cool if we lose NOT fucking good

Let’s hope it’s like the Mavs-Wolves series where the Wolves played their ass off just to NOT get swept. Celtics in 5!

This is all for the sake of the drama in our docu series of banner 18 😍

At least crack eighty points

Just started rewatching the game. We looked good for 4 mins. Tatum has an iso on doncic around 7:40 and then JB takes an early deep 3 back to back. Both misses and i think that was the beginning of the end

Celtics were 16-4 after a loss this year with average margin of victory being 12.7 points

Please break the record for worst finals loss so they get embarrassed af

Jordan Walsh, I wanna see you get some finals points so bad, man

JB and JT are gonna yep that was not good, but let’s forget it, new game in 2 days, and we will be ready… I have faith

Because of how good our first six (usually lol), almost all NBA fans are largely overvaluing our bench, including us.

Doris been on her knees all series

It pisses me off so much seeing the Mavs bench celebrating like they won the series. I’m just being salty tho lmao

What a joke of a game. We couldn’t get any momentum going because of the ridiculous whistles from the refs. Everyone was getting thrown around but god forbid you breathe on Luka

Joe Mazzula should've told the players to play physical and foul the living hell out of Doncic and Kyrie

Calls weren't gonna go our way, and it won't until Game 7. So might as well make Luka and Kyrie drives pay?

And what's the worst thing that could've happened? We win on our home court, stats show 40 fouls on us vs 10 on them, Luka and Kyrie get banged up?

Jason Kidd knew the refs assignment tonight and brilliantly told their team to play physical defense and drive the ball

I can't believe we were playing so soft, that's why we got zero boards tonight

In the back of my head, I knew we we had a very good chance to lose, because its so hard to sweep a finals team. But losing like THIS kind of welcomes the mavs right back into the series. Tonight they played 3-4 times better than we have all series. I really hope they didn't figure us out.

Porzingis is definitely playing next game

Who is Springer?

Nba finals game point differntial record is 42, we might break this one

42 pt game rough

No panic unless we lose game 5.

The lack of effort from the team was maddening today, on to game 5 and hope they play like it's game 7

Oh great now I’m gonna dread going into work in the morning more than I already do. Thanks refs 🖕🏾

We’re not even gonna score 90 points lmao

whatever, let's just forget this one and win game 5 in Boston.

Bringing in Joel who touched the finals trophy is a booboo move

you know Celtics, especially Tatum, would drive and then throw the ball out for a 3, but they failed to make any lay ups and arent throwing the ball out as much this game

If you wanted them to lose so that they could win it in Boston, I hope you are happy with yourself.

hopefully scott foster doesnt come back to boston with us

If we lose game 5 they figured us out

Wait KP was available to play?? Tf?
