NBA Finals Game 5 GameThread: Celtics vs. Mavericks

Must read

The Boston Celtics gave up early in game 4 of the NBA Finals. Either they took such a vicious punch from a desperate Dallas Mavericks team they could never recover or … they sort of didn’t mind dropping one game because it meant they could win the NBA Finals on their home floor.

Luka Doncic will look to put any conspiracies to rest and turn this into an actual series. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, meanwhile, will look to create enough offense to allow their team’s suffocating defense to dictate the true pace of play. Once this series is over, the offseason begins! Let’s go!
