That's hilarious. One of two films I actually walked out on. Those evil weathermen were too much for me.

He missed a lot of time his first few years in the league.

He just looks like he has weak legs and lands funny all the time because of it.

Most embarrassing dunk attempt of the playoffs?

Do you think this is the first season players missed games?

What a freaking block!

Availability is a skill.

Helps if you can foul

Not even close

Shove in the back plus a hand on hand but ok

it was a push in the back before the foul

I dislike Boston being a Detroit fan, but it is difficult to not like Jrue, Brown, White and Horford.
Capella

Absolutely.

I used to enjoy watching Siskel and Ebert just because they would take giant steaming dumps on garbage movies like these. It was glorious.

Hand on hand is OK. And that would have been a weak "shove in the back" call
msudaisy26

It was a little closer with replay, but no way can you call that. Slight hand in the back and clean block.

crazy seeing in plain view which guys cannot be on the floor in NBA playoff games
the possibilities go from regular season 8-9 guys, to like 2-3 at this point.

But this is why this NBA is so irritating, because had the situation been reversed, you know Boston is getting that call at home down 5 with under a minute.
The Celtics probably still win regardless, but stuff like that is just such bad optics.

Boston is the better, deeper team. It's not even close.

Tatum - 18/9/12
can't win with a guy like that. just not good enough.

After 2, gotta think JB is leading for FMVP. Jrue a close 2nd. Tatum's poopoo shooting should keep him out of it.

And he played great defense. Guys like him are invaluable. If Kyrie and a lot of other players shoot 6 for 18 or whatever it was they sink their teams.
Ghost Rider
Footballguy
Agreed. Their "best" player has been awful shooting the ball and they are up 2 games to 0. And their defense has been lights out.
6 for 22 shooting tonight sure is impressive. (yes, I realize there is more to basketball than scoring)

With Celtics up 3-0 Tatum will go for 60 and win the award

It has to be said again that Kyrie Irving has been crappy so far. It almost feels like the Celtics are doing to the Mavs what the Pistons did to Jordan for a while: let Luka get his and then shut everyone else down. And it is working.

FanDuel has it as +100 Tatum still. Agree Brown looks more impactful right now.

Feel like there were a few questionable calls in a row before that block that were called on Boston.
No call on Jones Jr travel https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CF...2' Cutting Layup Shot (9 PTS) (Doncic 11 AST)
The White block on Jones Jr that looked clean - JJ agreed on that https://www.nba.com/stats/events?CF...4&flag=1&title=White S.FOUL (P2.T2) (J.Goble)

That's why I said "awful shooting the ball," not awful in general. If you think 6 for 22 shooting isn't awful, we'll have to agree to disagree.18/9/12

Boston defense that was #2 in the NBA showing up.
Luka had good numbers, but wasn't super efficient and had 8 TO's. Kyrie has been held down as has PJ, DJJ and Gafford/Lively.
Dallas' offense is their problem as they didn't find solutions from game 1 to game 2..... and there may not be any.

Boston's defensive movement is such a joy to watch.

Jayson Tatum has averaged 23.9 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 110 games in the playoffs in his career.That's why I said "awful shooting the ball," not awful in general. If you think 6 for 22 shooting isn't awful, we'll have to agree to disagree.18/9/12
good players have off nights. he's a winning player.
you putting "best" in quotes is the issue. try to play it off as you might. it's clear what you are suggesting.

Man. Gave one away. Kyrie horrible through two games. Regular shooting luck and this is 1-1. Tough spot, really need to win the next 3 probably to have a chance. Defense showed up, ball movement was back. Kyrie 0-8 from 3 in two games. And not exactly tough looks.
Bossman
Footballguy
It looks to me like Luka not seeing many double teams is getting his points and the rest of DAL players just aren't good enough to be productive against the best defensive team in the league.
We'll see how they play at home but it seems like DAL needs a Steph Curry to make this series interesting.

JB shooting 55% (15-27) thru 2 with 6 steals and 3 blocks.

As a showtime laker fan, I despise the Celtics. That’s all I got…
Wait..in 87ish, my grandpa passed away. Entire family is from Boston. Fly back for the funeral. My uncle and I nearly came to blows over the rivalry after a few beverages. Good times.

They had no chance. Thank God they didn't draw it out any further.
