Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out officially for tonight. If Dallas can’t pull out a win here, it’s over. Even if they do win it is still an uphill battle, but tonight everything seems to be aligned for them to get a win. Kyrie needs to have a good game and redeem himself a little bit and I think Kristaps being out gives Doncic a slight advantage offensively. We’ll see…

This is already one factor for them to win the game tonight.

Since Kristaps Porzingis has played, he did great for the past game that he's in. But the Mavs won't still be confident with that, they can move and still play well even if he's not there.

We've seen that in their games when KP has been ruled out and not able to play. Luka and Kyrie needs to do it properly and they need to lead the team better than the recent games they've got.

Krista's porzingas was the x factor here tonight just like he was in the first 2 games. Dallas needs to figure out how to contain Tatum to make sure he doesn't have one of those 50 point games. Think Dallas smells blood and with them being at home I like theor chances here. Luka for 40-15-10 tonight.

Game 3 of the final series will start in 2 hours.
I hope Dallas wins this game, I still want them to win.
Kyrie needs to show himself now.

Kristaps Porzingis in Boston is uncertain to play tonight. If he doesn't, he could be a major loss for Boston.

Doncic in Dallas is still injured but continues to play.

Let's see how tonight turns out.

Finally, Game 3 is coming later.
It felt like forever. I guess I got used to the season where every day I would wake up early to watch the game. Grin

I hope this series will be longer.

Missing those days in the playoffs that we get to see games everyday and they're the most crucial games for most of the participating teams.
Good luck to our bets mate. Cheesy

It's a good advantage of the Mavericks if KP will indeed not gonna play, but as we all see in the last game, he tored his ankle and after that he wasn't moving the same anymore, so I guess it's Dallas time to win.

It is certainly an advantage for the Mavs if Porzingis isn't going to play. That's what the news that I've seen a while ago and I'm not sure if I'd be happy with that as I want to see how the Mavs can prove themselves with a healthy line up. But even so, with or without him I've bet already for the Mavs to win this game. So, there goes the handicap for this game 3 and the Mavs are determined to win this or else, that's going to be the near to death of their journey for this very finals. I've watched a video about Mark Cuban being asked what's the best gift that he can give to Luka or vice versa, he need 'a championship'.

If Kyrie was 25 years old magically, I think this series would be singing a different tune entirely. I mean, is that even debatable? Going down 2-0 is not bueno for the Mavs. I'm kind of surprised to see that Dallas is favored by -2.5 pts currently for tonight's game. I guess having home court advantage finally, and at least the last game was closer, but certainly Boston has all the momentum on their side. They know if they go up 3-0, it's over. This game is of course beyond pivotal for the Mavs..can't wait.

Yes, it's a win or burst situation for the Mavericks tonight, and the homecourt really does play a part in the Odds distribution, but I still don't believe the Maverick should be the favorite at that, although Porzingis effect was minimal in game 2, compared to the first game but if he misses tonight's game that would be an extra boost for the Mavericks, they however, still have a lot of fire power from the Celtics roster to be worried about. Should be a more interesting game tonight, I hope!

RIP to Jerry West. The man was literally the logo of the NBA and one of its most respected historical players. I really loved the Winning Time show that featured him in it as a character. He’s a Lakers legend, an NBA legend, and he will no doubt live on as the logo for the NBA around the world for many years to come…

This is heartbreaking.

I've just seen this news as well and thought that someone would notice that here, RIP Jerry West.

A legend and one of the most notable players that ever came to NBA. His legacy will forever with basketball and not just on the league.

I can say that the Boston Celtics are the best team since Golden State in 2017. The quality of the roster between the two teams is evident in the finals. The dream is about to end for Dallas and the Boston Celtics are the heavy favorites in the final series. The Celtics, who have the best players in the NBA, are not at the mercy of a single player and that's the difference in this series. The next games may be the ones where Dallas will show their stuff, but I think the Boston Celtics will win the championship with the strength of their roster quality and their performance throughout the season.

I hope this series will be longer.

The game will now be shifted to Dallas home and I bet the Mavs' fans are excited to see their stars play in the Finals one more time.
The last time they were in this position was with Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, JJ Barea, Peja Stojakovic, Tyson Chandler, and more. I will never forget that moment when Dirk scored 45/46 free throws in the series against the Heat. I was watching that game live.
Now here goes Mavs again and I bet they will receive a hot welcome from their fans.

That's the reason why the line now is -2.5 for Dallas. It opened at -1.5 but when the news surpased that KP is doubtful, it move to -2.5. IMO, this movement is not so sigificant because it's still going to attract Dallas bettors considering they are back at home and down 0-2 in the series.

How about the total here? I mean, the last 2 games went under because Dallas struggles with their scoring, so if they'll win game 3, they should be able to easily scor over 100 points, with that said, this over 213 should easily hit.

It maybe huge lose for losing Porzingis on their roster but still Celtics is fine. They already reach up to finals even if he's not around. Its just unfortunate that Celtics that he's out again due to injury since his presence will make Celtics became more stronger.

But unfortunately bad luck happen and he suffer from rare injury that's why Celtics maybe need to adjust their rotation again to remain their positive flow on finals. Game 3 will be exciting for both Mavs and Celtics fans since for sure that Porzingis absence will give certain hope for Mavs that they can eliminate those disadvantages what Porzingis could bring in the court.

That's the reality we can't deny but the job of the Dallas in scoring the paint would be easier as Celtics does not have big men that are good defenders. Well, Al horford is there but he'll get tired and will not be effective in scoring if he'll continue to defend the paint, and we all know he is old or getting old, so he can't play heavy minutes defending.

It's a good advantage of the Mavericks if KP will indeed not gonna play, but as we all see in the last game, he tored his ankle and after that he wasn't moving the same anymore, so I guess it's Dallas time to win.

EDIT: Report from twitter states: “Kristaps Porzingis Reportedly Has A Torn Medial Retinaculum In His Left Leg And His Status For The Rest Of The Finals Is Up In The Air”

Dallas with some hope for game 3…

It's funny, Porzingis just recovered from an injury, surprised everyone in the first game of the finals series, and then got injured again. Let's see if he'll be able to play in the upcoming games, but as far as I know, his status is listed as questionable. I hope the Celtics medical staff might let him play in the remaining games of the series, although with some limitations.

Yeah, we can see that Porzingis is enjoying game 1, shooting from the outside and then at if teaching Lively and going him to school with his moves. So it will be another losing opportunity for the Celtics if Porzingis will be out indefinitely and it could be the whole series and not help the Celtics here.

And that's why I said that I'm going to bet on Mavs here at ML, without Porzingis presence, maybe it will be the first time in this series that Luka can finally make a lob pass and enjoy the game as he used to like the series against the Wolves wherein he has a lot of assists inside with just throwing it to either Lively or Gafford.

It maybe huge lose for losing Porzingis on their roster but still Celtics is fine. They already reach up to finals even if he's not around. Its just unfortunate that Celtics that he's out again due to injury since his presence will make Celtics became more stronger.

Yeap, it's going to be a battle of momentum, just one game at a time, and if they win game 3, the next game will still be in their homecourt so t hey can tie the series and then go back to Boston Garden and hopefully steal one game.

I think Dallas will win if KP will not play, as for the latest update, the big man is questionable.

Porzingis has rare tendon issue in lower left leg, is questionable for Game 3 of NBA Finals

Game 2 was close but not almost, so they need to correct every mistake they have and should play perfect at home and consider it as a do or die game, actually every game as currently being down 0-2, they don't have the odds in winning the series.

Thanks for this info, and perhaps that's why KP is not really showing that good in game 2 as compare to his performance in game 1. So if he is not going to play, then maybe we will see lob passes by Luka and Kyrie to Lively, Gafford and even PJ Washington because that's what they are missing, easy points in that paint with that lob pass.

And most likely this is the reason why the Mavs are the favorite going into game 3, it will be at American arena in which they are comfortable and then KP is not there to man the middle against them.

The series is 2-0, Boston won both games using home advantage. Now they will go to Dallas, let's see what kind of result they get there.
I still think Dallas will win this cup, I want to think so.
Tomorrow night the hird game of the series will be played, I hope Dallas wins this time.

It's probably the most important game for Dallas tomorrow. They badly needed a win or else no team has ever won a series after a 0-3 deficit. But pretty sure Boston also knows how important game 3 will be. Boston will continue playing at their best or even better because they are challenged with a huge Dallas home crowd.

Yes, it's a must win situation for them, they can't afford to take another L, otherwise it will be 3-0, and they don't want to be on that big hole as no one has ever comeback to win the finals. So they better had plans to stop Tatum and Brown or even KP. Kyrie should really show his best, and I will assume that he had that in mind and I'm seeing him scoring 30+ points here.

Quote from: inthelongrun on June 11, 2024, 11:14:21 PM

You maybe right, if Dallas wins game 3 and starts a momentum, they can still pull this series. But first, they need to get game 3 which I believe is very difficult to achieve. Boston has to continue its defense and put Kyrie's offense into waste.
