6/14 - Finals Game 4 @ DAL – Only Championship Banners

[bosockboy]

Pritchard has been hot trash.

 

[Ale Xander]

Luka and Kyrie in? Lololol

 

[Nomar813]

They knooow bettah

I miss the halcyon holidays of everybody loves a donut.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Kidd bringing in Lively early off the bench was a solid move. With one day of rest and no KP there's not been an answer for his energy.

 

[Auger34]

Someone please drop Luka

 

[Just a bit outside]

Let’s get PP going

 

[lars10]

Leaving Luka in makes sense.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Just lose by 50, get the plane started

 

[CaptainLaddie]

edit stupid me, stupid thought

 

[Van Everyman]

People seem to forget that the two games we’ve lost so far in the playoffs have also been beatdowns.

 

[Ed Hillel]

They weren’t going to win this game unless they put in like their top 99.5% effort. Might as well be a blowout.

 

[joe dokes]

Does anyone know the Dallas parade route?

Jack Ruby and the CIA.

 

[Manzivino]

Would like some hard fouls by the starters in Luka and Kyrie but I admit I’m a bad person

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Hope yours works better than mine. Absolutely dud of effects here, almost like I got the offense at home.

If it makes you feel any better, I ate a $70 chocolate of ostensibly 4g of psilocybin to better enjoy DC’s Pride Parade last weekend only for it to turn out to be bunk. At least I rocked the “Proud Dad” gear.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I wonder how many championship teams got beaten this badly in a potential close out game?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

They needed Oshae’s hair on fire energy in this one but it’s hard to know it’s an Oshae game until it’s too late.

 

[riboflav]

There are some kernels of concern here for Dallas has made a few key adjustments and without KP it will be tough to close them out.

 

[Auger34]

Honestly, this might be better than a close loss.

After this embarrassment, they are going to come out locked in next game

 

[Mooch]

Luka taking 40 footers. What a fucking tool.

 

[mikeot]

Wise move, Joe. Let ‘em stew and regroup for Monday.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I wonder how many championship teams got beaten this badly in a potential close out game?

Nobody cares or really remembers.

 

[Beomoose]

Man, Pritchard has been brutal

Obvious from minute one and yet

 

[AB in DC]

I set the over/under on minutes he plays in the fourth quarter at two.

Good call.

 

[lars10]

Maybe this gets Hauser and PP on track.

 

[Curt S Loew]

So... What percent are we worried right now? 1%? 5%? It's tough to balance how unlikely I think a series collapse is (extremely, extremely unlikely) with the lifelong effect it would have on my fandom.

Right now? 100%. By Monday 0%*

*All of this is subject to change

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Bring in X and have him do one of these bullshit Luka hipchecks on Luka

Why does everybody think Tillman is some sort of Marty McSorely type goon that gets sent out there to pummel somebody on the other team? Literally dozens of posts like this over the run.

 

[joe dokes]

Best thing here is to get PP straighter.

 

[Van Everyman]

I wonder how many championship teams got beaten this badly in a potential close out game?

I know you’re sad and angry and I get why. But this team has just won 10 in a row in the playoffs and is understandably a little tired. It’s not a mark of weakness.

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

This Celtics lineup on the floor is blinding me.

 

[Manzivino]

Kornet literally got thrown out of bounds and no call, refs are done for the night too. Let’s just call it.

 

[luckiestman]

This sucks

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I know you’re sad and angry and I get why. But this team has just won 10 in a row in the playoffs and is understandably a little tired. It’s not a mark of weakness.

Genuinely just curious. I don’t think they’re not a championship team or unworthy because of tonight but this seems like an aberration.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

They weren’t going to win this game unless they put in like their top 99.5% effort. Might as well be a blowout.

When Tillman hit that and-1 I think you had to be feeling OK with Dallas not coming out hot. It all fell apart after the next timeout.

 

[kfoss99]

Is it just really, really hard to put in the energy/ concentration they did in the first three games over four straight? Especially on the road?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Has a team ever won a quarter by 32?

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

"There have lots of blowouts in NBA finals history and they have no impact in the next game, but this one will for the Mavericks."

Okay.

 

[lars10]

This Celtics lineup on the floor is blinding me.

It's the 80s again.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I wonder how many championship teams got beaten this badly in a potential close out game?

In ANY close out?

Warriors got wiped out by over 20 up 3-0 in one of the Cavs matchups.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Bravo to RSN for leading off the game threads during this incredible streak, I look forward to seeing another thread with a JMU helmet next October.

It’s been an honor, friends. May our next thread starter be our last.

 

[nattysez]

The lone bright spot is that Breen has to vamp for the entire 4th q knowing that everyone's headed out to spend their Friday night doing something better. Suck it, Mike.

 

[OnWisc]

Kornet literally got thrown out of bounds and no call, refs are done for the night too. Let’s just call it.

I saw that. I figured there had to be some facet to it I was missing. That was absurd.

 

[benhogan]

probably a good time to turn on the Sox...

oh crap

 

[Auger34]

Would like some hard fouls by the starters in Luka and Kyrie but I admit I’m a bad person

I 100% agree but I am also a bad person

 

[lars10]

Is it just really, really hard to put in the energy/ concentration they did in the first three games over four straight? Especially on the road?

They've won 10 straight.. it's more unusual that they havne't lost on the road in the playoffs yet.

 

[Auger34]

"There have lots of blowouts in NBA finals history and they have no impact in the next game, but this one will for the Mavericks."

Okay.

Doris or Breen?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Genuinely just curious. I don’t think they’re not a championship team or unworthy because of tonight but this seems like an aberration.

There also aren't that many teams that go up 3-0 in the Finals

 

[genoasalami]

this sure is some quality prime time TV on ABC.

 

[Auger34]

Is it just really, really hard to put in the energy/ concentration they did in the first three games over four straight? Especially on the road?

it’s really, really hard to sweep a team in the Finals

 

[The Social Chair]

Close out games were tough against the Cavs role players. Hopefully they loosen up at home.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Doris or Breen?

Breen

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The really annoying thing is if you reversed games 3 and 4 everyone would be feeling good. Instead we get to feel like shit all weekend.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Bargaining stage for Janos
