The reason the Mavericks will not win is that Boston has a much better front office and were somehow able to turn the weak parts of their team in Smart and nobody Grant Williams and a broken down Robert Williams into All Star caliber players. The stars are comparable, the supporting casts are not. But I wouldn't expect a guy who got where he is by kissing LeBron's ass to understand ball.

Can't believe a team whose 3rd option is PJ Washington isn't going to win the NBA Championship. 

you’d think he would know of all people that this is clearly a 07 lebron finals

Luka bitching at the podium like his dumb ass low IQ is not the reason he fouled out

Getting pantsed in the NBA Finals will really expose your character as a whole and Luka has looked like a petty bitch this whole series

You were overmatched going in, be mad at the front office who never constructed a complete team around you so this is as far as you can drag the f***ing corpse before you can't anymore

Kyrie was never a good fit and everyone else are just not at the caliber Boston's team as a whole is, you didn't lose because of any nonsense, you lost because the Mavericks are not a good team around you

I like Luka a lot, I think he's a generational talent, but if he wants a title, realize why you're failing and don't make excuses, light a fire under Mark Cuban's ass.

Luka has always been a petty bitch

Been saying this for years. Generational talent who can hop off the couch after eating a donut and smoking a cigarette and give you a 60
Piece. But he complains way too much. Make a bucket and complain. Miss and flop and complain.

The team played well in the playoffs but they came entire a Boston team on a mission. This needs to be his teaching moment.

You can be a crying, whining, out-of-shape man-baby who plays no defense when you have no championship expectations. Now that he's in the finals, people are really seeing his flaws other than his offense.

Mavs in 7!

Klay Thompson has unfollowed The Warriors on Instagram and deleted a bunch of Warriors related stuff off of there also. 😭

Are we sure it's the actual Klay and not the limited fake version from Clipped?

[Toilet Paper Roll]

His almost looks rigged, like the Celtics are told to lose but nobody on the team is good at pretending and they’re just way overdoing it

[RadcapRadsley]

3D Chess. Horford and Jrue just want an extra game of stats as every little bit helps with future HOF voting.

Looks at the score

The Celtics are taking so they can win it in Boston, aren't they?

[Rudy Gobert Fadeaway]

A whole quarter of the NBA Finals is currently Dante Exum minutes 😭

We were due one of those bad Boston playoff games we get on occasion. They get a chance to raise the trophy at home, which maybe was the point.

OK good, there's still a chance, Dallas is putting their bench players in:

Mavs have only delayed the inevitable crowning of the celtics

[RI Richmark]

Disappointing and frustrating.

Dallas played like their season was on the line. Celtics played like it was it was the preseason. Mavericks outhustled and outphysicaled them. Plus the Mavs hit everything.

Good news is it's only one loss. Get the win back in Boston!

Charles Barkley just announced that next year will be his last on TV.

Truly the end of an era and it sucks.

Before Game 4, I told myself that were the Celtics to lose on Friday night, my panic level would be like a 1 or 2 out of 10. Not that big of a deal, sweeps in the playoffs - especially in The Finals - are a really, really hard thing to do, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are too talented to sweep, and there's going to be a night where nothing goes right for Boston and everything goes right for Dallas.

That happened last night.

I could tell in the first few minutes that this was just going to be one of those nights where everything broke right for Dallas. Dereck Lively II hit his first career three-pointer. Derrick Jones Jr. was going around, up, and through the Celtics' defense like he was prime Kobe. Kyrie hit a matching three right after Derrick White hurled up a shot clock-beating prayer to narrow the deficit. Tim Hardaway Jr. gave them 15 points off the bench. Everything clicked for Dallas at the same time nothing clicked for Boston.

So now as we reset, Boston heads home knowing they can't take a game for granted. They played like the champagne was on ice and the parade route was mapped out, while Dallas played like their season was on the line and they had nothing left to lose. Hopefully the next 48-plus hours will be the wake-up call that the Celtics need, that it's time to wrap this thing up in Boston and not give the Mavericks any oxygen, because if this series goes back to Dallas for a Game 6, I have no doubt in my mind that it's coming back to Boston for a Game 7.

With the writing seemingly being on the wall for Inside The NBA, he probably sees it as a good stoping point. The next season should be very funny/interesting.
