To bad if the splash brothers will be separated since we know how exciting to see them play together with Steph. But that's how business works on NBA and maybe the owner can't handle to pay huge luxury tax anymore and they need to create a big move so they can build up their team into a title contender without paying another huge taxes again.

They are exciting to watch before but Thompson's performance have declined and he is not anymore showing great percentage of his outside shooting. So as you've said, business is business, they need to rebuild the Warriors with a new players coming in while letting out those who are high paid players like Thompson. I would even want Wiggins as well to be traded so they'll have plenty of room to get a new players that could blend with Curry, it's time to try for a new experiment since they failed badly last season.

Agree to that, it's business and if they see (management) don't get any decent outcome then they will find ways to make it benificial on both ends, same with your statement, Klay is no longer the same even they manage to win another title after his injury, his performances is now lowering, they need to free some cap and if they manage to let Klay and Wiggins go, then they can get a new star/s that might be fit for Steph, they need to experiment as the current squad is not that competitive they need new sets of players that might help Steph in trying to win another title for the franchise.

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.

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?

Well Draymond says it's fucking hilarious, as what Klay did, unfollowing the Warriors. Not sure about the Lakers, I'm seeing the Lakers pursuing the one player that they want to get and that is Donovan Mitchell.

And speaking of posting crazy images, Klay just post about Seattle needing a team, it used to be called Seattle Supersonics->OKC if I'm not mistaken.

But we will see where Klay is going to be, and for the fun of it, Curry also unfollowed Klay,  Cheesy

How sad to know that. So it means he's leaving Warriors now? for sure he will never unfollow the Warriors for no reason. Also he's open for saying on each interview that he want to stay on Warriors.

Maybe there's something happen and their negotiation didn't succeed. Then Thompson didn't like the outcome that's why he ends up unfollowing and posting crazy stuff on his social media handle.

I'm glad about not seeing the series ending 4-0. Dallas Mavericks have been way worse than my expectation. I thought they would have a good chance for winning the series.  Sad  Game 4 was quite boring to be honest. Boston Celtics players were complacent obviously. The game technically ended in the first half already. They didn't even play with their starting five in the last quarter. The game was like a 3-point contest after a point.  Tongue

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people know but if Boston won last night they would have been the first team in nba history to sweep the conference finals and nba finals in the same year.  Being a new york fan I appreciate Dallas stopping that lol.  Honestly if somehow Dallas can squeak out another win they will be going back to Dallas with the chance to lock this finals up.  I need to see a game 6.  Would be epic.

I have always known that fourth game would have been a win, it was clear, Boston got 3-0 ahead, do you think that they care? Of course they can lose one or two games, it was just a boring game for them, they are going to just relax. The series is already decided, so far it is 0-156 for anyone that trails 3-0 in a series, which means that no team has ever done it and Dallas won't be the first one and we all know it.

Plus, the game was still in Dallas, which means that it makes no sense to win there, Boston will want to come back and win at Boston if they can, which I think they totally can. We will see them grab that fourth win and also the title, and celebrate at their home court as well, it will not be a bad situation at all and they will be quite happy.

A lot of people think that but in a finals deciding game do you really thing they were bored?  Most of these guys never won an NBA championship and have trained theor entire lives for this moment.  It is more a do or die situation for the guys on the other side.  Might have been some nerves on Boston side but trust me they weren't bored, or just gave this one away.  If they lose game 5 they are facing going back to Dallas with them having a chance to tie the series up.  That's how quick these things turn

It was exactly as I predicted. I never thought the series would end 4-0, in fact I thought Dallas would perform much better. They played really well in the last match and managed to win with a huge score difference. Actually, this score gave me some hope. Will we see a legendary comeback like we've never seen before? Yes it is a little difficult but there is a first time for everything Smiley

Kyrie was so humble in his post-game interview.
If I was in his position I would just say simply that we know their weakness and they may not win another game anymore. Ain't that true?
This ain't a lucky win. The Mavs weakness is Luka Doncic not playing defense and if he do, there's no hole anymore. Tatum scored but most of it are forced. JB have a rat on his body and he is scared to shoot the ball against the strong men of the Mavericks beneath the paint.
So, the only thing that's hindering the Mavs to win more games is them.  Play defense and another blowout will happen.

Exactly, give Boston  a taste of their own medicine I mean play tough defense and outrun them in terms of offense, I like the way the entire Mavs play their game finally we've seen them communicating inside the court, they are not allowing any lapses and they are really playing good defense, good to see the adjustments from both Luka and Kyrie and for sure if they will continue playing that same tempo they might force more wins and possible to push the series to game 7, we never know if fate brings them for sure fans and bettors will love to see that scenery.

So you are saying that they rigged that game to extend the series?  Smiley


I didn’t say that they rigged the game but obviously they have a very poor performance which suspicious for a team like Boston that dominating the game for 3 consecutive round.  Game 4 is the most poor performance of Boston on this playoffs.

Quote
I believe that NBA can be rigged but not from the cooperation of the players, refs can rig it but not the players. let's just say that the body language of a team that are down big time is really different when they are up, and in that game where Dallas have a huge lead early and no matter what the Celtics do they cannot go back, so it's kinda mix emotion to them that they are frustrated at the same time. Man, let's just give that to Dallas, but if Dallas still beat Celtics in game 5, then that would prove they didn't rig it, Dallas just found the way to beat them.

Again, I don’t said that they rigged it, you are the only assume it  Grin. I’m pointing out that they are not playing 100% on this game probably due to their advantage while Dallas show a great strength on the 1st half. There’s no effort visible with them on this match.

Even during 1st half, Celtics starter is suspiciously not playing 100%. There’s a lot of airball 3 points which is not happening during game 1 to 3 and also a lot of miss drive despite there’s enough space to make the shot.

Not to mention that Brown and Tatum is playing weak on this match unlike their regular play. I think this match might prolong up to game 6 or 7 if Boston will keep playing like this.


I don’t believe that they intentionally loss this game since this is championship and they have nothing to gain for doing that. Besides, a lose is expected for them after getting a 3-0 advantage since they will relax a little bit.

If you watch again game 1-3, You will notice that Dallas always rally to close the gap during the second half. Dallas almost win game 3 if Luka didn’t fouled out. Dallas has a potential to beat badly Celtics if they will start strong which what they did on game 4. Let’s see if they can keep up with this phase for not giving Boston a chance for the lead on the game.

Yeah, Luka getting fouled out in the game was really huge, as the offense became more predictable with only Irving making plays. If Luka had been there, they might have completed the comeback, and this series could already be 2-2. What I saw in game 4 was the Dallas team that beat the Wolves; they got everyone involved, and that momentum should carry into game 5.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the lowest output for the Celtics in the playoffs, or even in the regular season. They only scored 84 points and were really outrebounded by Dallas by a huge margin, 52-31.

I just read a crazy stat. After tonight’s game, the Dallas Mavericks are actually outscoring the Boston Celtics in the series 408 to 402. Granted, tonight was a gimme game to get back to Boston, but it’s still wild to think that being down 3-1 you could still have more total points than the other team.

The Celtics were suspiciously weak in this game. Almost all Celtics players didn't even play 30 minutes, and their top players made only 10-12 shot attempts. I had previously assumed that the Celtics planned a gentleman's sweep in this series, but I didn't expect them to do it this way. Shocked

They were pulled out in the 3rd quarter because the lead was too big that it's almost impossible for them to come back. That's a great decision to avoid injury, and even if they were blowout that big, it's still equivalent to 1 win for Dallas. Well, we now have game 5 and Mavericks are going to travel back to Boston to try to keep their hope alive, if they'll win then that's another interesting story to follow.

It’s very rare for White to shoot 3 with an airball. The direction is already there but it looks like he purposely weakening his shot just to not hit the ring.
