NBA Finals

Another note. I was a season ticket holder when we got to meet the team and coaches during a preseason meet every yeat. Met Jason Kidd. Even then he was calm and deliberate . Some thought he was zoned out. I felt then he was zoned in. Still hope so. BTW never was a fan of Don Nelson. Donny Jr was and is Great.
Go Mavs

I want My Mavs to win more than anything
But in the back of my mind is the question of how much the league /media want an another game, a week end game ....... for revenue?

That was an embarrassment. So contrived. Shame on the teams the NBA and ABC/ESPN.

I think the Mavs were "allowed" to win to exrend the series. It would have been more believable if the score had been closer.

Or Boston took the night off, for all intensive porpoises.

It happens all the time in the regular season, and it's one reason I no longer follow the NBA.

Have you been talking to my wife? When I arrive home last night from the Tolbet's dinner the first thing out of her mouth was "it's fixed!"

Maybe she meant the cat?

Maybe Celtics wanted to win at home so they didn't try in game 4 but will tonight.

This was a factor IMHO.

Nonetheless, GO MAVS !!!

Absolutely. You'll see Boston playing to win tonight. And almost certainly succeeding.

This thread went in the toilet really quick.

It's not a bad move to tank a Game 4 when you know you can win in front of your fans after a nice little respite. Props to the Celtics for being able to pull it off with ease.

The Western Conference is so much tougher than the East, but when it comes down to it, no one was even close to the Celtics when it came to frontcourt success, backcourt defense, and 3-point shooting. Deadly combos. It'll be interesting to see if Milwaukee or New York can get back in the conversation, but when the West has teams 10+ games over .500 making the play-in, it's just not close.
