Well that’s all she wrote for the Cavs…

Celtics damn iso ball offense in that last few minutes is a joke...  ridiculous that they have not put this game away yet.

100-95 Boston leads    3mins left

12-2 Cavs run

Can't help but wonder about Billy Donovan's mind frame this time of year. Dude left OKC because they weren't on his timeline; he wanted to win, and they wanted to tank. Seemed like a reasonable decision at the time. Now, OKC is arguably the youngest, most talented, asset-rich team in the league...and he's coaching a Bulls team that even he couldn't list off 3 players.

OKC shot 38% from the field and 26% from 3, were rebounded, and won on the road. Ouch.

Mavs are really going to regret this regardless of how the series ends. Had a chance to end the series early and rest, now might not win the series at all.

I certainly don't watch a lot of Mavericks games but Luka is equal part great and painful to watch.  He's a great offensive player but 150% injury drama and just bitches and moans about everything.  He's fine when he makes a good play but when he doesn't, here comes the limping and injury drama.  He was even listed as questionable before tonight.  He's the basketball Brett Favre.

Also dispute him being only 25.  Looks like a pasty 35 year old.  Plating with knee guards for god's sake.

Luka is 6'7" and built like a bull. If he ever starts taking his conditioning seriously his game should age well. Not like he's overly reliant on athleticism. He barely leaves the ground.

his conditioning is the best it's ever been.  it's fine.  he's not tired at the end of games from lack of conditioning.  he's injured.  his issue is mental.  this is inexcusable.  all.  game.  long.

Like...wtf is he even doing here? Just atrocious. And the whines to the ref about it. He made some equally bad ones later on.

lose the ball, fine.  get it back.  except that's not what he did.  he locks eyes on the ref as soon as the ball bounces away and makes a beeline for the ref instead of trying to stop the opposing player who recovered the ball and is literally right in front of him.  he needs to grow up to unlock his boss stage.

I'll give him credit for smoking Giddey in the face with the ball, but not for the rest of it.

Bill Simmons said on his pod that in person, Luka is much worse with the complaining.  Says it's literally the entire game start to finish.  He'll complain about everything constantly.  I've seen it this series and wondered if he was like this all the time and I guess he is.
