The ball is literally on Dallas now, where is Luka's help?

Porzingis cannot play ball anymore, he has lost his touch, Tim Hardaway is absent as well.

So that is the story, while Clippers gets a lot of help, the Mavs are just watching Luka doing his thing. Clippers will tie the score next game, 2-2, unless the Mavs provide Luka, KP should be ballin otherwise I see him getting traded next season.

If they take this loss deep then, they will really lose the next game. I say, use it as a driving force to win game 4.
Doncic is complete as a player but it doesn't mean he can defeat 5 players. That's right Porzingis is not felt on that game, its like he was not even there.
Another bad thing that happened at the end of the game was Finney-Smith attacking the Clippers bench. Why? To boast the 2 wins they have?
Learn from the mistakes and not take it out from your opponent with trash talk, use the fucking scoreboard to state your emotions.

It hurts me to see players like that who are butthurt about losing at their home crowd. That just means they didn't do good and they cannot accept that.

I'm happy for the Clippers, I thought they will lose in game 3 as they had a bad start, a good thing they keep attacking and they are effective on that.
Leonard and Paul George are still the top scorers for the team and good thing that Paul George did not settle a lot on 3 point shooting.

2-1 now, maybe 2-2 in game 4.

Tatum carrying the Celtics on his shoulder, and then Marcus Smart playing good defense on Kyrie and then scoring 23 points himself. Boston now that the momentum. Harden (41) and Durant (39) also putting big numbers, but aside form the big 3, no one from Nets scored double digits.

TD Garden fans were heard. Somehow we are now feeling the crowd impact.
Chants and boo are for Kyrie and he scored only 2 points in the first half if I remember correctly.
But that doesn't stop Harden and Durant that made the game longer and more heart trembling.

Do you guys think Tatum can keep this up? What if an off night comes? Who will be there to step up and score for the team?
Kemba had been inconsistent like this is his first rodeo in the playoffs. Smart is not really a scorer.
Their last ace will be Fournier and they must look for a way to build him in a short span of time.
I bet Coach Nash and Asst. Coach Mike D'Antoni is already preparing their defensive strategy for Tatum.

I think the booing really affected Kyrie's game here, he seems to be very aggressive, even fouling Smart shooting 3, and then he has good looks but missing shots.

Obviously, Tatum continue to score even with Durant guarding him, Thompson and Smart also contributed that's why they were able to offset Harden and Durant. So time for Nash to go back to the drawing board and will have to look on how to nuetralized Tatu next game. Forget about Kemba, he is not performing well even before the playoffs, looks like he is on a slump.

Kyrie just had a bad night, he has been booed when he left the Cavaliers so he is very familiar with this kind of crowd. Maybe he just trying to push himself in this game to get a win. But Boston play their cards very well, climbing back an then Tatum's 50 points.

And with the help coming from TT and then Marcus Smart hitting outside shot, then play good defense and not allowing outside of the big 3 to score. They know they can't shut down any of the big 3, so they focus on outside help, like Harris who can't even score double digits, a total contrast on his last game.

None. Nobody can step up if Tatum had an off night.
Kemba maybe or possible Smart but if only Brown is playing then he might be the one who will help Tatum in scoring but unfortunately he isn't. Fournier might be a scorer when he is on the Magic but in the Celtics, I don't think that he can step up when Tatum had an off night.

The Celtics won in Game 3 yes but on that game, they are exposed big time and now like you said Coach Nash will make a defensive strategy for him. Maybe they will put Durant on him because I think he is the only one who can defend him. I will bet Game 4 on the Nets

Clippers can't find a way to stop Luka, they should double team him early and try to get the ball away from him. As far as the half court, they should employ this defense, otherwise Luka will have his game again toying with anyone that Clippers are throwing on him. Kawhi, Bev, PG13, 3 of the best defensive player we have and yet they can't stop Doncic. This is a do or die game for the Clippers.

Kinda disappointed to be honest but I think Ty Lou should keep more the rotation firm they should find really a way to stop Luka and if they can't then a sad farewell awaits them again. If they lose again this year then I'd say this will be the end of PG and Kawhi tandem, just my two cents.

Well they still didn't find a way to stop Luka as he pour 44 points. But Kahwi and PG13 combine for 66 big points, and then the 10 man rotation of Clippers at least scored 2 points, so they contributed to this big win by the Clippers. So it's now 1-2 Dallas, making this series to extend at least 5 games.

8 players tried to defend him including Kawhi who is an elite defender and also PG but nothing happen. The Mavericks might lose this Game 3 but I agree that they didn't find a way to stop the Luka Magic still. On the other hand, this is a must win for the Clippers or else the Mavs will need brooms in this match up because it might end up as a sweep.

I like Kawhi, I like PG but the problem right now is their coach. He needs to give Rondo more playing time. He just played 26 mins on this game and we know how good Rondo is when it comes to playmaking.

Tatum was just so outstanding with his performance today, and seems everything is falling for Boston. They dominated the paint, second chance points, and fast break points.
I guess it's not only Tatum that should be keeping his game, but the entire team. Tristan Thompson had also a good offensive rebounding performance dominating the 2nd chance points. While Marcus Smart is on fire in the 3rd with Tatum.

However, the Nets just showed how strong their big 3 is, even down with almost 20, they were still able to put the gap closer.
The Celtics needs to maintain this kind of intensity and momentum to beat the Nets in this series, an off night would be an automatic L for the Celtics.

^^ Yes, that's what I believed, in order for the Celtics to win, Tatum needs to have a monster game like this one, 50 points again and Durant can't stop him from the elbow. So at least there will be no sweep for the Celtics, they live another day and given themselves another chance to tie the series.

Time for Brooklyn to make the adjustments, I thought it will be a blow out as they Nets started hot in the first, but Celtics come back quick and didn't allow them to get a huge lead.

I also think that way, Brooklyn shows very strong KD and Harden got a lots from their offensive attacks,

But Look how Tatum compete he really lift Celtics up and made it clear that they are not done yet, he make things possible carrying

the offense from his shoulder, good thing that he really feel the pressures and take full responsibilities.
More adjustments on their next game, for sure it will be more exciting and more enjoyable to watch out.

wow, what an excellent game we had !!

It seems that with every game we have, Trae Young is guiding the Hawks to victory together with Capela and Bogdanović. I really enjoyed seeing DRose playing, it seems that in these playoffs he is standing out, I am happy that he scored 30 points in the last game.

Celtics vs Nets, I was impressed, Tatum playing very well, scored 50 points, Smart also stood out, even TT had 13 rebounds and 19 points!
I believe that more players can help Durant and Harden, Griffin doesn't seem to have played good and Irving had a timid game. But the young Celtics players were inspired and played a lot.

Quote from: yazher on May 28, 2021, 08:03:43 AM

Looks like Chris Paul need some weeks to recover that injured shoulder to regain back his skills and they can give Lakers their very best. Obviously that's not gonna happen, perhaps this is his fate when every time they are close to get a chance to compete to the NBA finals, he is prevented with some sort of injuries. Just like what happened when they were so close beating the GSW last 2018 if I'm not mistaken.

Clearly, CP3 is already "feeling the weight of age" he is 36 years old. Yes, that's true, it's not the first time that Chris Paul got injuried during the playoffs .... I still hope that before he retires he may have won 1 ring.

Tatum showed the true him. That's what supposed to happen from the start but it looks like he was surprised by the strength of the Nets that's why they lost 2 games.
Applauds to Marcus Smart though, his acting skills got so much better than last year. He had been shoved by Kyrie and he threw himself a mile to sell the foul. Grin

(It will be in Shaqtin', no doubt.)
Kidding aside, he had always been the heart of the Celtics. If he keeps on being active on both offensive and defensive side he becomes contagious and the whole Celtics team starts following his lead.
Good game for Hollywood.

Tatum carry Boston to a win, unstoppable, but the one that is notable is the officiating, how will you make a replay and show that there is no foul and called it still as a foul, the refs almost handed the win to nets, very disappointed how the refs are calling the fouls, it's like they want to give the nets the game three win that's funny.

I'm really not sure what you are talking about but if you are referring on the offensive foul that first called on Durant in the dying seconds then i could say that is a legit one.

The official first called for an offensive foul, then coach Nash challenged the call and upon review they revert it into an offensive foul against Smart. I thought at first that is an offensive foul but on the replay, Smart made a slight move that makes it a blocking foul on him.

Monster game for Tatum, tallying 50 points but the unfortunate part is that Robert Williams sprained his ankle that will make questionable on game 4.

Boston using their high energy and youth to try and steal a win from the Nets. Up 6 in the third quarter right now and looking pretty good. With all the racism talk about the Boston fans leading up to this game, I expected the Nets to be a little off edge. I’m sure the fans are letting them have it, especially Kyrie who is shooting 2-7 with 4 points so far… He seems clearly effected by the atmosphere so far.

Its not only kyrie. Look at the bench. Its amazing what shamet is producing, 0 shots, 0 reb, 0 assists but 3 fouls, in 11 minutes.

Why is he even on the field. Defending also doesnt work so good.

With this bench they will win nothing.

This game is over now, 14 down. From 75:75 to 77:91 . Lost so much money here after this amazing 19:4 start. Want to throw up.

This Brooklyn vs Boston game is something else. Brooklyn up 19:4 after 3:30 minutes and now down 4 at HT (being down by as many as 10 points short before HT).

How does domination develop into this? 19 points in 4min and then 38 in 20min.

Hopefully they will get their sxxt together in the 2. half.

I'l try to jinx Atlanta here, Grin

I watched the first quarter and it was really close, but when I cam back end of the 2nd, Atlanta is leading by 14 points already.and they only scored 13 second quarter points. They really need to come up big in the 3rd just like in game 3 and get close. This is Atlanta's home court, you don't want to be buried deep and do the catch up in the 4th quarter. Score now: 58-44.
