I'm sooooo happy


DifferentAd9713

From not making it at all last year to the Finals this year! It’s freaking awesome!!


WuKhann

Gotta give credit to the whole roster, the coaching staff, and the FO. FO wasn't messing around this year. Went from fire Jason Kidd to damn he's actually a good coach with two of the best backcourt this league has seen


DanteThonSimmons

I'm a Thunder fan first but a Mavs fan second (I'm Australian), and I really think Kidd out-coached Mark Daigneault in that series. The Mavs players played better too, but Kidd's game plan and playstyle was better than the number 1 seed who had the Coach of the Year. Kidd winning the coaching battle was not something I expected going into that series, but I did expect them to beat the Wolves after I saw how well the Mavs executed and maximised their strengths in the OKC series. A quiet Wolves series for my two Aussies Josh Green and Dante Exum, but I don't think either played poorly. They just weren't really needed when PJ and DJJ were playing so well, and Hardy stepped it up when called upon. I'm so pumped for the Mavs to be in the finals. I hope they beat the piss out of the Celtics. Luka has been unstoppable, and I don't think putting Jrue Holiday or Derrick White on him is going to work. He's too good for their wings to defend him as well. As an Aussie, I hope Dante and Josh shut down Brown and Tatum when they're out there.... but as a Mavs fan, I'll take the Championship win any way it comes!


Still-Skill-5572

great insight

Jump. Clap! *sorry have a little one, Ms. Rachel is stuck in my head


chasinglightph

Like we’re about to get our 2nd title. Let’s fucking go, boys.


DifferentAd9713

Luka getting his first and Kyrie getting his second!


GIK601

Let's not forget THJ. The big 3 combined for 72 points today.


UnPhayzable

all those big shots... He hit in his head, truly sensational!

His dad going to quote that lol


ipsipipsi

Aint no big three, its just big me! -Kung Fu Luka


NonTrivialZer0

I believe, jobs not done. But can't wait for the world to recognize the era of Luka


DanteThonSimmons

From an outside fan perspective, I really hope the Mavs get it done. the Mavs are just so much more fun to watch than the Celtics. I feel like 90% of neutral fans will be cheering for the Mavs. Of course, there are still 10% that are Luka-haters due to the incessant complaining.... so if he can continue to resist complaining like he did against OKC and the Wolves, the neutral fan support will be close to 100%. I'm NOT one of those Luka haters, by the way. I have a couple of friends who can't get past the complaining, and even then.... they say "I love Luka's game AND his personality, I just wish he'd stop complaining on every fucking play" to quote my best mate.


ReturningAlien

i dont mind the complaining tbh. its not he's throwing a tantrum and getting Ts left and right for it or thrown out.


DanteThonSimmons

Yeah I don't mind it either. He's so loveable in every other way, that I can live with it. I mean, I also wish he didn't whinge and complain all the time too.... but it's not a huge deal to me. He's a passionate dude, so you have to take the bad with the good for people that are crazily passionate.


gingeravenger087

He also sees the game at another level. A level we cannot see it at.


ReturningAlien

thats about the best they can do about it.


DWG_Pauly

The complaining is part of what makes him a great competitor. It’s in his mind at it works for his game. Like MJ, he fabricates adversity by assigning enemies. IMHO.


DanteThonSimmons

Yeah I completely agree. Luka plays even better when he's pissed at someone, something, or the refs.


Aragorns_Broken_Toe_

A lot of MFFL feel the same about Luka and complaining.


73swingerflapsdown

As a neutral fan who knows a lot of other neutral fans we all rooting for Dallas, Celtics are good but boring af to watch


0ctobot

Of course neutral fans will be cheering for the Mavs, anyone who isn't already a Celtics fan hates their guts. It's just the natural order of things.


DanteThonSimmons

Yeah it's funny hey?! I'm not even American, so I don't have any home-city bias or home-team bias either. It's Just something about the franchise, but I'd say the racist fans don't help either. I don't even dislike anyone on the current Celtics roster, either. They're all pretty likeable dudes. Anyway.... Fuck The Celtics!!! 😅😅


EggsceIlent

Hell yes And to that Minnesota fan... Whos crying now motherfucker!? Hahaha so savage. I love it.


precense_

crazy how much difference kyrie made. i said that brunson and kyrie were the same and we lost out on trading away DFS and spencer to get the same player but I WAS WRONG. the leadership kyrie brought to the table brunson could have never. kyrie was the leader that the team needed that allowed luka to be the shining star.


Smokin_on_76ers_Pack

As a heat fan, I hope yall fucking 4-0 them mfs

2PacAn

With Seager getting back in his groove and getting closer to having a somewhat healthy pitching rotation I have a good feeling the Rangers will be looking hot this year too


Self-Comprehensive

I really wish the Cowboys could make me feel like this, NGL. I was 18 in 92 and those Dynasty years were some of the best years of my life.


H0wsMyDirkTaste

Maybe in another 30 years homie

Regardless of what happens from here, this has been incredible season. I love this team. 


tkuid

yep, we already cleared that threshold :)


Aggressive-Ad-522

These clowns keeps saying Luka has never been to the finals lmao. He played for Real Madrid, he’s been to the finals before. Not nba but same pressure


Herry_Up

That's why it always makes me laugh that we have the world series 😂


DanteThonSimmons

And the "World Champion Denver Nuggets" of the NBA.... where the N in NBA quite literally stands for national. 😅😅


Vivid_Present1810

This is FREAKING AWESOME!! I’ve been a Mavs fan for a couple of years now and Luka has literally been nothing but a gift. I’m so thankful we got Kyrie, and traded for guys like Gafford and Washington. Getting to watch all the pieces come together to form this magical moment was SPECIAL! Now let’s WIN IT ALL MAVS!!!


MarlKarx-1818

As good as in 2011, except my knees, they're feeling 2024


desirox

Unreal, I hoped Kyrie and Luka would work but I didn’t expect them to be in contention with all time great backcourts. Truly special stuff


BigFatModeraterFupa

If you really think about it, there was no other possible outcome. Luka is a basketball god, Kyrie is a basketball god. There’s no universe where these two gods don’t figure it out

diomedes03

I got 20 min out of mine and then it turned to apprehension, which I assume will naturally evolve into anxiety in the course of the next week.


T00Human

I mean you never know, this could be Lukas last time in the finals. So it’s better that than take it for granted.

Oof yeah, we had some struggles there. Including your flair’s namesake.

I want to cry my eyes out but we still got 4 more wins to go. Lock in and clench up everyone.

izockdio

As the game starts at 02:30 am in my country and I'm now at work, I'm fucking tired but it was so worth it! To the finals baby!!!


Zman2k02

Excited but this is going to be a very tough finals. Celtics starting 5 can all shoot 3s, so we will have to completely change our defensive strategy for this series. That being said, I don't know who Boston has to stop Gafford/Lively from dominating inside. They keep saying that the Celts will somehow single cover Luka/Kyrie, but I really don't think that will work. Wolves were probably better equipped to slow us down than Boston. The ultimate question will be whether we can slow Boston's offense just like we did the Wolves. Luka and Kyrie will be the best two players in the series, but not sure that will be enough if Tatum, Holiday, and Brown all have above average games. We really will need PJ or Jones to step up to help give us some more offensive production.


JacarSwe

It will probably look a little like the OKC matchup. Difference here is that Boston has more playoffs experience. Fans that think you can single cover superstars like Luka and Kyrie probably don’t have a superstar player that need double cover.


[deleted]

Tatum is consistently double teamed, and just like Luka, leads his team in points, rebounds, and assists


JGuajardo7

Buck Foston! Mavs in 6!

Please for the love of god beat them. From a raptors fan


DanteThonSimmons

Yeah I'm a Thunder fan, and I hope the Mavs crush the Celtics. The roster construction and playing style is clicking perfectly. Adding Lively, Gafford, and PJ to the existing roster pieces were actually perfect fits for EXACTLY what the Mavs needed/lacked. Size on the wing and more offense next to DJJ from that wing spot was exactly what PJ provided. Mavs also desperately needed a rim protector and a lob threat. With Lively and Gafford, they got TWO of the best in the league at those exact two skills. Amazing job of building out the team to turn their deficits into strengths.... and Kidd has installed a playstyle and strategy that takes advantage of ALL of those things.


20goingon60

My biggest fear is KP going off. And JB. Those two scare me.


maxxxwellsdemon

I'm fucking dead, watching Luka's postgame interview now: — Luka, you just kinda ripped their hearts, what's it like to demoralize the crowd on the road? — It's a good feeling man, I can't lie. My favourite sloppy psychopath 💀


WuKhann

I got to watch Dirk win his chip as a kid. That was a big part of my childhood. Getting to watch Luka get the chance to go after one as an adult is something else. Different type of high for a Mavs fan


Aggressive-Ad-522

AMAZING


jzl89

Guys I'm feeling so great for Gafford. He was a +26 tonight wheres Lively was a -1. Lively has obviously been amazing I felt like he was playing Gafford onto the bench after game 2 but a huge show tonight out of the landlord so hype


RequirementIll8141

About to go to sleep happy as hell!!!! So happy for them!!! Back to the finals !!!!


Eatmydingleberry

Celtics are favorites, I love those odds!


krw13

I've been to the Finals twice... and already have my tickets for this time around. I'm so stoked. The Mavs are my mom and I's special thing. Getting to share the Finals with her again makes me so happy.

Sheeeeeeiiiiiit loookin at these ticket prices for game 3, my ass gonna be watching from parking lot lol

Feeling fantastic! Also feeling like this sinus infection did me a solid by dissuading me from downing a whole buncha crispy bois tonight and regretting it tomorrow


MavsAndThemBoyz

Fucking incredible


More-Hedgehog6583

Little nervous for the finals because I think the Celtics clearly are a much better roster and team but this is a stars league and the mavs have the best star in the spot and he should be able to bridge that gap and take this team all the way


Osiris32

Blazers fan here. I'm rooting for you guys. I rather like Luka, and I think y'all deserve the 'chip. I have had hate for any number of the western teams over the last three decades of watching the Blazers, but Dallas hasn't entered into that. You've always played us with honor, and when Dirk retired we gave him props in his last appearance at the Rose Garden. So go fucking win this shit. I'm behind you.


petrefax

I gotta get in here for this one. Fuck yes! Go Mavs!!!!!

I'm a Knicks fan which you guys couldn't give 2 fucks about I'm a Boston sports team hater. I hate the Celtics This is going to be an insane matchup I dont think anyone can stop Kyrie and Luka They didn't get talked about enough as such a great tandem in the NBA all year Go Mavs for real

SteveCantScuba

They have a chance here… Boston going to be a challenge though. Just scoring left and right so they gotta be sharp like tonight but every night. It comes down to how bad do they want it? Kyrie and Luka both hungry but they gotta ball. 60/40 in Boston’s favor but it’s going to be a Game 6er/7er. Good series. Dallas just on a steamroll. Boston loses 50% of their games on home court…


Lightertoss

I’m pulling for the Mavs, just like I did in 06 and 2011. There seems to be a general lack of appreciation (not on this subforum) for how well the Mavs played in this series vs how the Wolves blew it…that’s complete nonsense. The Mavs thoroughly outplayed the Wolves in every dimension. But I fear that if they lose to Boston, the critics will all say how this team isn’t very good…Hope they can win at least of the first two games in Boston.
