Golden State is done, the series is not likely to return anymore. The series returning from 3-0 didn't happen in history. Dallas had a slight chance, but they failed. They started the game with a very bad shot. Three-pointers were always inaccurate. At the end of the game, they seemed to catch up, but when Poole made the final three, it was over. Doncic, you're going to be a great player, but you need a better rotation to come along. He couldn't carry any more on his own.

Game 4 later. Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat at TD Garden. I am worried about riding the train for the Miami Heat as Jimmy Butler is questionable to play.
It's a big thing as he can run both offense and defense whenever they need it. Maybe betting for the Celtics will be wiser decision as they can take advantage of this and do a lot of damage.

What side are you in?

Guys, I've been looking at some data from the games between Dallas and Warriors...
Even though the GSW are not the same team from the previous season, do you imagine they can beat the Mavericks 4-0??
Or will Dallas can win 1 or maybe 2 games in these series?

What is your opinion!!?

ps: although in the last game, Luka was on fire and scored 42 points
Experience-wise, this series may go 4-0. Luka is okay, but his teammates look to be in panic with the Warriors' defense. Their normal three-point percentage went low. Dinwiddie stepped up his game today but still not enough. Bullock and Finney-Smith should also do the same but we didn't see that. Worse, Bullock was 0 point and 0-7 at outside shots before and after he was hurt with the collision against Wiggins.
Speaking of Wiggins, that guy is legit. He was overrated in the Draft as they said but now he is showing why. I guess just having a good team is what he needed for his skills to come out.

Wiggins isn't a 1 guy.  With step and klay on the court he has no pressure to hold up a team.  Wiggins is decent but he is a wing man he needs a couple peoe better than him to shine so the defense doesn't game plan around him.

I could see the mavs winning one.  Steph already said next game is house money so they might get caught flat footed, to take it back home.  But no way this series goes more than 5.  Luka needs a running mate.

Wiggins is actually good, it's just that he hasn't found a good team before, but now that he is with the Warriors, he is willing to play on the role the coaching staff will give to him, which makes him better and the Warriors team in overall. This series will not go 6 games, if Dallas wins game 4, the Warriors will certainly end this in 5.

I agree it seems that he found his home with the Warriors right now and rediscover how good he really was. Anyone see that massive dunk he did against Luka? although the referee killed but one of the best dunk (together with his dunk against KAT). I doubt that Dallas can bounce back, no one does. Maybe they will got 1 win but that's it.

If by any chance Mavs managed to win 2 straight games against the Warriors, that might be a good achievement. I'm also

not seeing any chance that Mavs can upset Warriors in this series, not unless Jason Kidd will find the best combination that

will matchup with the Warriors types of game. Both defense and offense of Warriors are terrific, outscoring mostly their opponents

in the 2nd half and maintain the type of games till the final buzzer.

Too much-wasted possessions from Mavericks and hesitations got them good this time + I haven't seen anything like when you cross over you are the one who fell. Damn! Brunson was having the rubbish play of his life due to his dribbling skill tonight and you also have Reggie Bullock who was supposed to be one of the scorers in this series but he is shooting 0% and scored nothing in this game. They are destined to lose this game and it might be a sweep against them in their next game plus the posterize against Luka by Wiggins was the time they realized that they are against a championship team.

https://www.facebook.com/the.buzz.nba/posts/5287363208037746

You can watch it here.

That successful contest really gives Wiggins more confidence that the whole team is on his back.

Posterizing Luka send a message that Warriors are not like Phoenix. They are here for business and they have that capability to
sweep their opponent.

They already did that if I remember it right way back against Blazers, not sure though if that's a conference finals or a semi
Finals from the west side. Great win for the Dub fans!

That's what I have been saying, the Warriors can't be compare to the Suns.

And for that reason, maybe some of us here thinks that the Mavs can steal this game at their homecourt. But Warriors are not going to allow it, they will allow Luka to have the ball and score, but the Warriors are going to stop their bench from scoring. And then Curry will take over, he not only shoot the ball from a distance, he is also now a threat as he keeps on going inside to get fouled or easy two.

The warriors play hard every game, although sometimes Curry struggle but that does not affect their team overall as there are players who will step up. Just like in game 3, Wiggins stepped up and the offense of the Warriors has become less unpredictable unlike the offense of the Mavericks who are just focused on Luka.

4-0? There is a chance but I don't think that it will happen and I expect them to get at least 1 win before getting eliminated.
I think the Dallas can get that win if only Bullock helped the team offensively. After getting 21 points in Game 2, he got 0 points in Game 3 and 0/7 in the 3 pt. line and another problem with him is that he played 40 minutes in this game and yet he didn't get any point at all which is very disappointing if you are a Mavs fan. Not blaming him though.

Brunson, Dinwiddie and Luka did help them offensively but the Warriors are just too much for them. You don't know who will step up when you are playing against them. We rarely see Wiggins scoring 25+ points this playoffs but now he got 27 and 11 rebounds. I expected this series to end in at least 6 games but I didn't expect that it might end in 4 Cheesy.

Well, no team has ever lost after leading 3-0 (146-0) in the playoffs in the history of NBA so maybe we can say that this is over already but still I can't move on to that Wiggins' poster dunk on Luka. The referees tried to spoil that poster by calling it as an offensive foul LOL. Best dunk of 2022 NBA Playoffs Cheesy

That was a good poster dunk, it should be an "and 1", but refs called it an offensive foul, good thing coach Kerr challenged it and it was successful.
Luka was good but he got tired because he was the only who is very consistent, unlike the Warriors where everyone was really doing their job.

I doubt that Dallas can bounce back, no one does. Maybe they will got 1 win but that's it.
They'll never bounce back, unless they'll make a history.

He was the best player next to curry in that game, his aggressiveness really help the Warriors beat the Mavericks. Thompson as well though struggle early in the game but he was able to provide some important contribution in the 4th quarter, and we cannot forget Poole who made a cold blooded 3 when the Mavericks tried to have their own run.

You can watch it here.

This series could indeed end as a sweep, The Mavericks shot the ball very awfully and getting out-rebound by Warriors was the major problem of the Mavericks tonight, even with Warriors not shooting particularly well too, they were very active in the offensive arena, and Looney also played another really important role for the GSW here.

Dallas Mavericks best 3 points shooters came really short tonight, especially Max Kleber and Bullock finished with 0 points each and 0/12 attempt from behind the arc, the only reason why this match wasn't a blow out was because the Warriors themselves had several unnecessary turn overs.

All the Warriors needs now is to win 1 of a potential 4 games, which is definitely going to happen, and a sweep might be in their best interest as that would give them a couple of more days to rest ahead of the finals.

Feel bad for the Dallas Mavericks' Moneyline odds. As a hard bettor for them since then, I'm expecting decent odds in tonight's game for them since they are downed by 0-2 already but still, it was even lessened from @1.78 yesterday to @1.67 currently. Only the homecourt was changed. But in winning the conference finals and NBA champion, a big increase in their odds.

Anyhow, tonight's game is really a must-win situation for the Mavericks. It's a much worst situation if they will end up only winning one game at their home and will visit the big Chase Center with a 1-3 disadvantage.

Go Mavericks! You guys can do it. Smiley

Losing smart is a huge loss for Boston, they need his defense.  Tatum and jaylon brown are gonna have to ball out.  If they go down 3-1 to the heat they are toast.  I can't see the heat losing 3 straight with 2 of those games being played on their home court.  Game four is a MUST win for boston.

I'm thinking the other way. Those who stepped on Miami Heat last game are all not consistent. It's only Jimmy Butler who are consistent since the start of the playoffs. But before anything else, I like to see how Mami Heat will perform next game without Jimmy Butler. Maybe, those guys that I referring to as not consistent are just allowing Butler to own the gameplay. This time with no Butler, let's see if those role players can put up the same play and production as what they did in Game 5.

Remember that the Heat almost blew their 26 points lead in that game without Jimmy Butler.

I guess it's better to wait if Tatum or even Smart can be available in this game, or Butler in the side of Miami.

Smart did play, but after 24 hours, we all know that injuries either heal or worsen. Maybe their medical team will do everything to control the swell (if that is only case), but if it's even worst then maybe Smart will have to sit game 4.

It looks like Jayson Tatum is fine, and he should play in the next game. At the same time, there is already news that Marcus Smart's injury is much more serious because he has a bad sprain from that fall, and his ankle is swollen. Unfortunately, Smart won't have enough days to recover from his ankle injury, and I think he will most likely miss Game 4.

While I was waiting for Celtics to get ahead, Heat did this. But they really deserved this victory as they got a big contribution by many players. Celtics must get prepared better for the next one and I believe they will win and make it 2-2. I will be expecting Celtics to play better defensively in the first place. They might be even the best defensive team normally and we should continue to see this effort from them. This can play a really big role for them to reach even the championship at the end of the playoffs.

Miami has to be the shock of the year.  I know for one I didn't have them as the one coming out of the East, and to play they way they have on the road.  Bet Philly is pissed they gave up on Jimmy at this point.  Dude straight balls.  Hoping this one goes the full 7
