My Mavs are dangerous post holds up

Oh they’re YOUR Mavs now? I thought you were a pelicans fan?

Also, you’ve been a Tatum fan, so who wins the finals?? Is it finally Tatum time(about 5 years after you proclaimed it) or is it another fail for Tatum to YOUR Mavs??

This one aged interestingly as Pacers got swept, but coulda shoulda woulda won like 3 games but choked big time. Close games, but in the end still a sweep and that's the part people will remember in future years.

Pacers showed they can kinda hang though, very promising for them despite the sweep

Yep, somehow a “close” sweep lol

Pacers just couldn’t finish games and then Tyrese got hurt

Can’t have mistakes and injuries as the underdog

lol when I read the quote post I read it the same way too, but was like wait a second Silence is a Pels fan...

 

[Scoot26]

Silence needed the quotes... My "Mavs are dangerous" post holds up.

Post in question:

Mavs are dangerous. I want to say they are number 1 in defense since their trades. They will always score, but if they play D. Thats a handful.

West is kind of wide open. Denver is def the favorite.

Pels can do damage as well, but the consistency of all them on the court. People think they are a team to look our for but they ended weak and sucks they doing a play in where if they win. They play Denver.

3x NBA all first team. 5x all star. You still grumpy. Movs have no shot cause Luka and Kyrie are soft while Gobert isn't.

Yes, the "Movs" really have no shot because they don't exist.

Lol you know you were talking rings when you said it years ago

So who’s winning? Mavs or Celtics? I claimed luka won’t be winning rings, so I’m going Celtics

Also, pretty great that YOU of all people are calling me grumpy

Going to be a tight series. Porzingis health will matter cause if he is still feeling it. Luka and Kyrie going to eat him up on switches. Can Tatum be a finisher? He will have to be to win the series. This is where his short comings has been that he will disappear for stretches.

Celtics -225.
Mavs +188

Give me the Mavs in 7. Its a coin flip to me

is it give you the Mavs in 7 because of the gambling odds or do you actually believe the Mavs win in 7? I can understand the logic in taking the +188 if you truly believe it will be a 7 game series

I picked against the Mavs two series in a row, so what the fuck do I know... but give me Boston. I've been picking them to win it all for almost the entire season, so I'll stick with them haha.

But I am rooting for the Mavs. Hate Boston.

I'm finding myself having a tough time not rooting for the Mavs. There's been a lot of talk about the next "face of the NBA," and if you're into NBA conspiracies then Luka being the next face is something you may soon see.

In other news, JJ Redick is the rumored favorite to be the next HC of the Lakers.

Why not make Bron player-coach? It's essentially the result of hiring JJ Redick.

I'm curious could a player draw a player and coach salary at the same time?

LeBron needs to blame someone for Bronny being terrible as their starting PG next year.
