Lmao would be fitting. Maybe he’s really hurt but that’s no excuse for this kind of laziness in the nba finals

He also tried to f*** ball his way into a call, didn’t get back on D because he was too busy yapping at the officials, and Hauser got a wide open 3 playing 5 on 4

His real problem is he's not in shape. Dallas for years has tried everything to get him to work on his conditioning and he just doesn't. Poor conditioning leads to break downs

His real problem is that he needs to put the team on his back and carry them every night if Dallas is going to have any chance. No one is in good enough shape for that. It's too easy to look at a guy who's single handedly lifted his team to the finals and say "he looks tired".

Boston's full of guys who can cover for each other if someone has a bad night. Dallas is Doncic.

It's pretty funny to see Mavs fans accepting reality in real time.

I saw one post this morning from a guy that was like, "Our bigs are getting drawn out of the paint, they don't have anyone you can attack defensively, and you can't double off anyone because they can all shoot. It's a nightmare."

He played more minutes in the regular season than any player in the league, and has done the same in the post season.

Wasn’t even the best player on his team last night, don’t see how he’s doing it all single handedly. He’s lazy as dog shit defensively and the tape shows that.

..and how'd that work out for them. They cut the lead to 3 then he fouled out and Boston pulled away.

We really need to start talking about this playoff run being in the conversation for one of the most dominant runs in Celtics history and possibly in league history.

They have a chance to go 16-2 and incredibly 8-0 on the road. Undefeated on the road through 4 rounds of playoffs would be absurd.

There really are no weaknesses on the team the way they're playing.

He’s out of shape period and it’s going to lead to his body breaking down way too early. It’s been talked about for years already. Dude is like 24. He shouldn’t look like that

Why are you defending Doncic.

He is a huge reason they are where they are in this series. Sure, he's also the reason they are in the finals.

Everything he gives them offensively is negated on the other end of the floor.

I get he kindve has the early career LeBron issue where the roster around him isn't great, but when you have Luka/Kyrie on the floor, you have to win those minites so when they rotate out, you can play your bench and not fall in a huge hole.

Mavs bench got torched last night, and Luka was a freaking +2. Just not good enough from him.

Celtics fell behind early because DAL couldn't miss, and Celts were ice cold, despite getting the looks they wanted early. Was obvious to see what was going to happen.

Boy he doesn't look injured on offense when he's beating guys off the dribble and laying in beautiful underhand scoops.

People pretending that 6th foul call was close or even weak are out of their minds.

It wasn't close at all. Not only is one foot still moving, both feet are in the air at the point of contact, which also happens as Luka is at an angle and not even close to squared up. It's blatant.

It was also really stupid by him to even put himself in that spot. Totally pointless to try and draw a charge at the arc when you have five fouls. People should be mad at him, not the officials for doing the obvious right thing.

Your last point is exactly how DAL fans should feel.

Out of all the decisions to make in that moment, why with FIVE FOULS are you trying to draw a charge, it makes no sense.

That's Marcus Smart bad level of decision making.
