The story going around now is that Klay Thompson received a 3 year $84 million dollar contract offer from the Orlando Magic and when he took the deal to the Warriors for them to match it they wished him well in Orlando.  So at least right now it looks like Klay will be on the Magic for the next three years, likely his final years in the league.  Not sure if I like this end for him, but Orlando at least made the playoffs this year so they are a legitimate postseason contender.
So he's going to the Orlando Magic, they did great this playoffs and maybe he's gonna be a good fit in there. This might be the time that Klay will play as the captain of the team then.

It's gonna be new adjustment for him but Magic's roster seems to be better for the last season's that we've got.

And IMO, he's gonna be a good addition there and might take farther than their run on the playoffs.

if this will happen I agree that he will be a good addition to this young generation of stars, Banchero and the rest of the cores do need veteran player who can give them insight with how to improve both offense and the defense of the team, before the injury Klay do really that good support for Steph not just with his shooting capabilities but also as a star stopper, just like how Pippen did for Mj, that's how Klay support and help Steph, and if ever that Warriors will let him go, his experienced might be a good addition for this young Orlando team, let see if that will happen or if thers's still negotiation behind from the Warriors.

The fourth game went as I expected, the Celtics did nothing to win and gave up too early. It was like they missed shots on purpose, they weren't focused at all. They want to finish this series at home and celebrate in front of their fans. Game 5 is a good opportunity for that, but if things go wrong and the series will be 3-2, I can't imagine Game 6 in Dallas. The Celtics have to finish this series in Game 5.

Somehow I was expecting for Boston to win game 4 to avoid possible upsets. But a lot are indeed expecting it so Boston can crown in front of their adoring fans. The game was a little obvious. There were even times when the Dallas crowd were silent, probably because it's obvious and there's no excitement on that game. There were three point attempts Boston made early in the game that couldn't even touch the ring. There were some good drives to the basket where all of a sudden they just passed it back to their team mates.

Anyways, I am hoping for Boston to close the series in game 5. It's a must because they cannot give Dallas a momentum. It'll be a shame if they're the first team to lost from a 3-0 lead.

I also notice that Brown didn't do much the same on what he usually perform earlier on the finals.

But I'm trying to ignore that there's something wrong happen then just believe that by that time Dallas is so great in defense and offense that's why they take a huge lead to win against Celtics on game 4.

On game 5 we could able to see if Dallas could able to retain their performance or not since if Celtics won far away from them then maybe the assumptions of people that someone's cooking for Dallas not to get a biggest upset on their franchise really happen. I still want Dallas to win since the game still exciting to watch so then again lets see what will happen tomorrow.

If the Celtics lose, it will not be in a blowout. It's interesting to see how people suddenly change their beliefs. Before, they thought that Dallas had no chance and would be swept, but now many sports enthusiasts believe that Dallas could make an upset and possibly make history. I can't wait for game 5. I hope we see a very close game, and regardless of which team wins, as long as the fans are fully entertained, it will be worth it.

The best time for the Celtics to win is game 5. They are at their home court, and they could celebrate with their fans.

They got outplayed in that game, if that happen in game 3 as well, then this series would become more unpredictable. But here we are, it will be game 5 tomorrow and I cannot disagree with you, the Boston Celtics has to win the game and finish the series so they Mavs will not gain that confidence that will only put the chance of Boston in the line if they'll allow another game. They know how dangerous the Mavs at home, so if can't finish the business tomorrow, I guess we can expect a game 7 here.

I think it's time for them to bring back KP in the line up to add sa lenght. According to the update from ;
https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/celtics-kristaps-porzingis-questionable-for-game-5/

He is still questionable if he can play, I don't what to expect but in game 4, he suit up but didn't play, so most probably the injury might be serious. What you guys think the Celtics should do to end the series? i'm sure it will be hard for them to forget what happened in game 4, so can they bounce back strong in game 5?

I didn't think Dallas could win. The series 3-1. I don't think Dallas can turn this series around. Boston can win the championship in Game 5. I think they will.

Kyrie Irving; We will make history, I can't wait to make history.
He knows that the probability of this is very low, but they want to use that probability.

We will see, according to Kyrie, they just need to get one victory, and so they does, likely bring confidence in them. But he also said that it will be though going into Boston for the next game. But it's going to be all out, we don't want the game to have huge lead. And if ever the Boston Celtics will win this game, hopefully it will be very close so that it will be very exciting for us.

So let's see how Kyrie and Luka and the rest of the Mavs are. They said that they are going to chase history, so be it. They need to win 3 straight games and be perfect in the round in order to become the champion.

Klay Thompson posting crazy images on instagram now pretty much assuring that he is not going to be returning to the Warriors next year. He’s trending on twitter right now and Draymond just gave an interview about Klay’s social media actions. Will Klay go to the Lakers and follow his Dad’s footsteps or go to someone like the Hornets to get paid?

Why doesn't a basketball player who spent his entire NBA career with the Golden State Warriors follow the Warriors on his Instagram account?
I think he's made up his mind now, we're sure we won't see him in the Warriors next season. Let's see which team we will watch him in.
I think the Lakers would not be a good choice, it is very difficult to even see the playoffs with the Lakers. I wish there was a better option, otherwise Klay Thompson will have had a disappointing time in his final seasons

Well we are certainly winding down to potentially the final game of the season on Monday.  I'm really hoping that the Dallas Mavericks are able to pull off another win to at least give the Boston Celtics a little bit of a scare and make this series a bit more interesting.  Any team can win one game, so to me it just doesn't mean that much if that's all the Mavs can pull off.

Boston Celtics currently at -6.5.  Not sure yet how I'm going to be the game, but I definitely am one way or another. 

If porzingas is out I'm taking Dallas -6.5 points.  I think he is the x factor in this series.  Maybe there is part of me that wants a complete collapse as payback for the 2004 mlb playoffs when red sox came back from 3-0 against the yanks lol.  In all honesty this is a huge game for the Celtics.  If they lose they are going back to Dallas with Dallas having a chance to tie this up.  Game 5 is gonna be good.
I think what matters is Luke and Kyrie getting 25+ in all their games. If that doesn't happen, Dallas doesn't have a chance.

There’s a saying that the game is not over unless it was already finished.
Luka did said that.

Reverse sweep do happened and we knew that Kyrie Irving itself witness this kind of messy situation when they beat GSW before when he is on Cavs.
What a coincidence and maybe he's the one that's going to do that in the history for the second time.

Also Dallas show a great pursuit on all the previous games during last quarter that resulted to close the huge gap to single digit. Dallas is very capable on doing this almost impossible task if Kyrie will be consistent on providing assistance with Luka on the game.
Both of them needs to be consistent for all of the remaining games. We've seen that when both of them do great, the end game is going to be better as well.

But if only one of them that becomes consistent, we know that it's their end for this season but still not yet the end and we're still seeing them standing there.

There's sure something is being cooked. Him unfollowing his team or soon to be former team is really making a noise. But to be honest, with his last game with them against the Kings, he played like completely not a superstar. Maybe there's already something on that game that he'd feel not too good at all and with this, he's decided to part ways or it was the Golden State Warriors management not to sign him any renewal contract. There were videos that he's getting a practice with some other players and I think with Austin Reaves, I'm not sure with that because the video was kind of blur.

So if the rumors are tend to be true that he wants to get into the Lakers and to play with Lebron, this is just all about how he's wanting to retire where and asking when, it might be anytime soon as long as he lands there. If his states are going to be the same on those crucial matches, we might see an end to his NBA career. Anyway, he's multiple ring holder and a champion and that's why he's got a beautiful career and probably about to pass his prime.

I would give that game 3 a win for the Mavs as they were able to come back from a big deficit. I think that time they were able to figure out already how to beat Boston but they just fall short on that. Came game 4, it was just an easy win for them, so maybe that momentum will continue and Mavs will be able to bring that in Boston. Never seen an exciting series from a team that are down 0-3, I guess this is it, what do you think?

Boston Celtics currently at -6.5.  Not sure yet how I'm going to be the game, but I definitely am one way or another. 
My mind says Boston should win and dominate the Mavs to finish the series, but that would mean it's the end of the fun, so I guess I'm not anymore betting on this game.

Good luck to you but I'm riding with Dallas chances here to make a history too by being the only team to come back from 0-3 deficit in the history of NBA.
Maybe 1%, but man, you can't blame me,  love to see more action from this series and it would be disappointing if the series will end soon.
Honestly, I'm just betting with my heart as I know how dangerous the Celtics on their home court and I know they'll not allow Dallas to win another game as they'll be so pressure in game 7 if that will happen.

Kyrie Irving; We will make history, I can't wait to make history.
He knows that the probability of this is very low, but they want to use that probability.
He is vocal with that, I think I should trust him. he hasn't had a good game in Boston yet, maybe he'll start in game 5.
I like the courage here and the optimistic view @stadus.
I am also riding the idea that they will be the first ones to make history happen. I remember what Dirk Nowitzki said on his last interview with ESPN or maybe TNT saying Luka Doncic is a threat because he is breaking his records as a Maverick. Cheesy It's a joke on his side but it somehow gave me some good vibes when I watched that clip.
Maybe Luka can break more than what Dirk did and that is by recovering from this 3-0 (now 3-1) deficit. It will be the first and it will probably shock the whole world and maybe this time they will respect the Mavs duo and stop calling them names. Not that they care but it might change the POV of the Luka haters.
