6/12 - Finals Game 3 @ DAL – Five Wear Green
- Thread starter RSN Diaspora
- Start date
Dallas is going to have a game where PJW and DJJ go off. Hopefully that is offset by Tatum getting his shot back. The Mavs lob game without KP makes me anxious.
Same. Probably because it now feels like a game the team legit should lose (KP out, and the lower seed down 0-2 usually wins game 3), and there's something calming about going into a serious playoff game as the underdog.
That's the KFP we all know and love... team above self.
I think we should come out and punch them in the mouth. Throw some Kornet in front of people. Take the foul, but send the message:
Gotta meet the Mavs initial surge and punch and punch back harder and hopefully deflate a desperate team .
LETS GO CELTS
LETS GO CELTS
There's a bunch of reasons why Mavs "should" win, but I dont think KP was the key to the lob-stop.
Then again, a win tonight is as close to lights as you’ll get without having flipped the switch off. If the Mavs win, it’s on.
I'm sick of hearing about the Mavs coming out hot. Hang 40 on them in the first quarter and go from there.
Horrible luck getting injured while being boxed out on a made FT for KP.
I hope Boston jumps on Dallas early, and shooting variance occurs, with Boston lighting it up from three.
If Dallas wins this one, they make it a series.
Time for the Jays, and especially Tatum, to grab this series by the throat. I’m expecting a triple double from JT tonight.

Certainly. I don't think the team (at least the players) feels like this is a game they don't NEED to have, but purely from a fan watching standpoint, it's slightly less stressful (imo) knowing it's both a game that you don't absolutely need and a game that will be extra difficult to win.
I posted somewhere on this board after he hurt his calf that the silver lining of KP being out was that the Celtics seemed more likely to stay focused in the face of success, which has been a problem for that in prior playoff runs. Then they went 9-1 against playoff opponents without him. They still have the talent to win, but get that edge from the knowing that they have to be at the top of their game without one of their best players. It's not a terrible position to be in, yet.
I’m really anxious right now. Like I’m feeling it physically.
That said, I suspect these guys know what to do, have tuned everything else out, and are coming into this one focused. Contrary to playing loose being up 2-0, I think being this close to a championship keeps them dialed in, and I suspect they’re actually far more motivated than Dallas. Could see them just willing themselves to a win.

I'm more antsy right now than at any time in these playoffs by a lot. Feel like tonight could be a classic.
D’oh! Yeah you’re absolutely right. Completely forgot about Marcus’s random one game renaissance in Cleveland
