GAME 1 Playoffs 2024: Dallas Mavericks (0-0) vs. Boston Celtics (0-0)

[Mavs2021]

I don’t think anyone has played well, exactly, but Kleber, Irving, Luca and PJ all look like they feel they deserve to be there.

I am not at all ready to say Gafford and lively can’t play in this series yet, because if that’s the case, then we might as well just look for some movies for the next two weeks, but they both seem really shellshocked tonight. Somehow, it’s like they didn’t expect what was coming.

if at least one of them doesn’t figure out how to stand on their feet in this series, yikes.

I think Lively can play in this series. They just need to stop doubling/showing. Our defense was designed to funnel balls into the weak shooters. Boston has no weak shooters. Just let them have the twos.
