Same. Only reason I'll be unhappy is because my dream of Luka coming to the Spurs will be over.

It was either him or Ayton here in Phoenix. me if he'd a come here. I woulda never heard the end of it.
Yep, he's on a mission to prove every man, woman and child who ever doubted from the time he started to walk.
Luka vs wemby will be the Duncan/Dirk matchup of this generation. PATFO needs to surround Wemby with the right players though.
hopefully Wemby isn't Dirk
I wouldn't say "over".
2024 Dallas could be a one and done.
Injuries, while not hoping them on anyone, could befall Kyrie or even -gasp- Doncic himself and lead to 2025 or 2026 Mavs Meltdown.
Remember the '11 team that did a solid ass waxing of MVP Pau, Odom, and that Almond headed cross dresser that was a pretty good role player at times....
Ended up into nothing. Of course Cuban did the moronic move of not reupping that defensive and rebounding anchor big.
So stull can still happen.
Scott or someone posted how in the past 6 years it's been different teams in the Finals other then the Soft Serve Celtics allowing that shameful giveaway to the Golden gots.
Sucks for Lively. Dude is fun to watch, lots of energy and seems to be better suited than his NBA experience would normally suggest. Glad Gafford got some redemption for his earlier miscues. Ant just looks like he could have his Shaq moment at any time, where he realizes he's the only one stopping himself. A couple times think he had an open lane coming down hill and deferred just the same. He needs to take over if he wants to talk that much game.
A sweep would be really unexpected. What's the Vegas odds at the beginning of the series?
Must be interesting for Jason Kidd to be coaching the Mavericks to the Finals after being their last point guard in the Finals.
Sure, the one that accomplished 3 doubles and that triple as the century passed. Absolutely.
You got nary double, nary.
Offensively, Harden might be the closest comparison for Luka. But Luka is better, he is more versatile, more multiple. Harden was dribble, dribble, dribble, step back or pump fake and take it all the way to the rim for a lay-up or lob/drop off. Luka can do that but also kill you in the midrange, back you down, fade-away. It's Harden plus like Carmelo midrange and in the midpost. Maybe he'll miss his shots. But there really isn't a defense he can't counter with his skill set.
In the past, you could say he dominated the ball too much, like Harden would. Now, he willingly gives it up when doubled, especially bc he trusts PJ and now DJJ hitting shots. It's not just sharing it with Kyrie. And his game is better for it. He can pick and choose when to be aggressive and wait for the fourth quarter to really dominate the action.
They ran him offin' here for throwing a french fry at his wife.
That Ant fellow hunches more the tighter the game moves along.
...thank Christ.
Give the ring already to the Mavs tbh...
Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, fart-face.
As long as Luka is healthy (and Lively)
He has been playing hurt
Luka's body type along with mid-range and post-up game reminds me of Paul Pierce. He has a great ground game like Pierce did but unlike Pierce he has great ball handling skills, passing that make him difficult to guard.
That's a far better comparison of the others heard so far.
Good for Derrick White
Clutch shot
Class act
My reason for Go Celts
FTM or Wolves lol
Though it was Pierce who let Artest yahoo him back in '10 on that eventual 3 in Los Angeles...like he was gonna drive. Look at the tape, it's over on the YouTube.
Paul Pierce indeed.
I was wondering, do you remember anything about the disney le?
I don't do disney, ever. It's my religion.
Porzingis may be 100% healthy for the Finals
Their defense has benne much better with him in the lineup
It's gonna be interesting to see how Joe manages his return
