Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

[LogicMan]

Will Kyrie get into it with fans again ?

 

[realityball]

It feels like they want Tatum to play scorer vs facilitate. In principle smart. But do it on the court

I heard that’s what Kidd wants from Luka …
not sure I agree …Luka’s passes seem unstoppable at times

… I’ll call it a ploy … Luka will start driving to the basket for layups then go back to his best weapon of passing off in the paint

It'll be funny if he does.

So glad they got 2 days off after playing for the first time in a week and a half.

Guys must have been tired.

Seriously though, this preset Finals schedule needs to go. So bad.

This is all LeBron fault. He cried about the schedule after one of the warriors series and this is the end result. 2 days off the entire series except for games 3 and 4.

The correct finals schedule would be the following:

Game 1- Tuesday
Game 2- Thursday
Game 3- Sunday
Game 4- Tuesday
Game 5- Friday
Game 6- Sunday
Game 7- Wednesday

Not a bad move by Kidd to stir up controversy and or division. It’s being laughed about on Boston media. It might work with other teams.

The other topic here was Kyrie getting into it with a fan during the game in row 6

Kidd isn’t lying. Jrue also agreed

I don’t like Brown but I fear him more than Tatum in the playoffs. He just plays with more heart than Tatum and is also a better defender

Don’t put it all on LeBron. That is crazy.

They did Sunday, Wednesday, Friday back in the 90s.

Also, just because he complains, doesn’t mean the league has to do what they have done.

Bigger issue is the huge gap between conference Finals and Finals.

It’s not crazy. The league changed the schedule because of his complaints. Go look it up if you want. The schedule was completely different prior to his bitching

“I know it’s a difficult schedule,” James said after shootaround Tuesday as the Cavs prepared for Game 3 later that night. “I looked at the schedule and they have more time in their home than we have. They gave us every other day back home. They give those guys 2 ½ days of rest when they go back home. But, that’s the schedule and it is what it is.”

Within the next year or 2, they changed to this new schedule

 

[bksballer89]

Bigger issue is the huge gap between conference Finals and Finals.

Why this the issue? The league not going to move up the finals date just because both conference finals ended prior to game 6. They been promoting the finals start date as of June 6th since the schedule was released so they are not going to change. Also changing the schedule last minute now likely means they are going to H2H with the stanley cup on one of those games which the 2 leagues try to avoid. This is not the issue at all for me because all playoffs long this is the reward for ending your series in 4 or 5 games.....you get additional rest

Luka downgraded to questionable with multiple malodies

What do you think the odds are of Luka not playing tonight?

I'm guessing somewhere near 0%.

If he can walk he's playing.

 

[BigKen]

I'm guessing somewhere near 0%.

Just heard that he's 50/50 at best.

Whatever this Thoratic thing is, it was causing him tremendous problems in Game 1. He was sucking air pretty hard by the middle of the first quarter.

For those that don't have any idea.......

A thoracic injury is an injury to the chest wall or organs inside the rib cage. They can be caused by accidents, collisions, or physical exertion. Thoracic injuries can affect the chest wall, such as with rib or sternum fractures, or the thoracic organs, such as the heart, lungs, or large vessels.

I would guess that he's being seen by an expert and will follow MD advice. Last thing I want to see is him coughing up blood in a towel.

"Coughing up blood in a towel"?

Yeah... I bet Luka is basically in a wheelchair at this point.

ftr: this isn't the first time that Luka has been listed as questionable this playoff season.

Celtics fans should never mention wheel chairs during the Finals.

Paul Pierce is still trying to sell his.

That was the single most courageous performance in professional sports history.

Negative zero, if it were possible.
