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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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
