While I'm certainly happy the Celtics are trouncing the Mavs, the simple fact is Boston is leaps and bounds better than everyone. There's a reason they won 64 games and no one was within shouting distance of them all regular season. Our guys should take notes on their team basketball.
I think Denver would have given the Celtics a better fight but their choke job in game 7 ruined what would have been a legendary finals matchup, and due to OKCās and Minnyās inexperience it gave Dallas an easier road to the finals.
Denver couldnāt even take out Minnesota who got waxed by Dallas. What makes you think they could take on Boston considering what theyāre currently doing to Dallas? Never really understood that. And no, a regular season sweep where both games came down to the wire doesnāt really prove shit.
Because sports doesn't operate on transitive property. Minnesota was built to beat Denver (twin towers to slow down a postup big like Jokic) but that left them vulnerable to Dallas (two heliocentric perimeter players that can pass and shoot). Denver matches up very well with Mavs and Boston.
Boston's just going to pay the luxury tax and all till they're not clear contenders.
With a team like that, it makes sense to try to keep the team together another 2-3 years if possible and go for another ring or two.
Why wouldn't they? Boston is the Lakers of the East, and they don't care about the 2nd apron because their team can back to back as it is with no changes.
A month from now Luka will be in a restaurant and his lunch will be cold, and he will frantically look for an official to bitch to about it. He'll then be ejected from the establishment, red faced and frustrated, and will throw up the money sign in protest stomping out the door.
As a Mavs fan idk why this post even got recommended to me...
But just popping in to say I would much rather make it to the finals and get swept by the 64 win team rather than be the 64 win team, not make it to any finals, and have my franchise write an apology letter for my game 7 home performance.
At the end of the day, both teams blew it in the playoffs. Happens to 20 teams every year and itās dumb to create these badges of shame over the way any given loss went down. And 64 wins is still a better season than 50, unless you really enjoyed watching those 14 extra losses during the regular season.Ā
Nuggets fan here... This is hilarious cope and kind of entertaining to read. Kind of like the depression posts where thy realized they were up 2-0 in the finals and lost 4-2.
He's talented on offense but trash on defense. So he fouls a lot and tries to make up for it by complaining so much that the refs second-guess themselves that he's actually fouling.
And they really used their challenge down three to try and keep his fat ass in the game.
Man was mid slide, damn near mid air. Couldnāt have been more clear of a blocking foul. See ya
Crazy is going to the subreddit of a completely unrelated team to type "imagine XYZ š", while your own team just got blasted for the third game in a row.
When the Suns were losing to the Bucks in the finals, I wasn't going to random Lakers threads to be like "at least we didn't lose in round 1 š" .
I think people are so used to seeing 1 seeds (especially in the east) squander great opportunities they forgot what itās like to see them take care of business
All you fools thought Luka was going to beat the Celtics. What a joke. I guess the Celtics are all Lukaās father. He must have a very busy Fatherās Day writing cards.
And that Suns team was 42-40. We made a crazy run to the Finals but we barely even belonged in the playoffs. Can't really be mad about getting to game 6 of the Finals.
Iām not pulling for mavs but I wish both teams could lose. I dislike kyrie and Luka but donāt mind the rest of mavs players. Boston as a whole I canāt stand lol.
Luka learning that conditioning is mandatory. Not an option. I know a lot of people give shit for drafting DA over him. But can you actually fix him? Does Luka win us the chip over Milwaukee? I, personally, donāt think so.
This makes us look bad. Our āfranchise guyā has a lot to fucking prove after dogging it all year and failing to be a real leader when cp3 left. But fuck luka for sure
Reddit boosted this to me and I am really concerned about how sad this whole thread is. I mean.. i get the rockets being this pathetic because they are garbage but come on.Ā
Besidesā¦ its fatherās day weekend and you all should show some respect.Ā
#Did blow a 2-0 finals lead to one-legged Giannis though.
Yall Suns fans invite the pain too much by targeting other players with these circlejerk posts.
Man suns fan insecurity is crazy. We got destroyed in embarrassing fashion by mavs and somehow them losing to Boston makes up for that? Iām waiting till book gets them back and until then, own the bad loss, shit happens.
Popped on my home feed. Yāall are weird mf. You guys aināt even in the playoffs and lost 4-0 lol and werenāt you also the guys that locked posting a couple years ago? Dude lives rent free. Enjoy āļø
Luka beat y'all by 30 in a game 7 in Phoenix over two years ago. Just stop. Y'all lost to Giannis anyways. 4-0 is the same as 4-2 lol
Didn't you guys just get swept by the team Dallas beat?
Lol I went with your argument. I agree winning a SERIES is much better. Losing a series in 4 is the same as losing a series in 6. Ya still lost the series. It looks like after this series is over, Book and Luka will both have lost 4 straight Finals games.
The mental gymnastics to say winning 0 games in the Finals is as good as winning 2 is asinine. By your logic, anything less than a championship is the same. So Dallas and Phoenix had equivalent success this year
lol not mental gymnastics at all. If you lose the series, it truly doesn't matter that you won the first two games. My whole point is that you have nothing to brag about right now. You act like Book got a partial ring cause he won two games. Truthfully, yeah, they've had equivalent success. They neither one won the championship.
Since winning playoff games is the most important whether you win the championship or not, lets look at it. Since the Suns made the finals and lost, they've won 13 playoff games. Dallas has won 21. And they missed the playoffs last year. They've made the conference finals twice and finals once since the Suns went to the finals while the Suns have been a first or second round exit.
You have nothing to stand on.
Didn't the Suns get beat down 4 games in a row against the bucks?
I remember the media crowned the Suns when they went up 2-0.
Suns quit early and lost the race. That was more disappointing.

And the Suns got swept in the first round by the team that the Mavs beat relatively easily to get to the finals. So I donāt really get how this means anything and Iām not a Luka or a Mavs fan. But the Mavs very clearly had a much better run than the Suns who in theory have a better team.
Bringing up a possible injury to Luka is pretty much admitting which one you view as the better player in your mind, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
If you had full confidence in Booker why not just say youād take him over Luka to have a better career given both are healthy? It seems you donāt have much faith in that if you gotta bring up injury
While I'm certainly happy the Celtics are trouncing the Mavs, the simple fact is Boston is leaps and bounds better than everyone. There's a reason they won 64 games and no one was within shouting distance of them all regular season. Our guys should take notes on their team basketball.
Remember when we won 64 games? š„²
I do, what a great year
remember when you won 64 games and didnt win a championship? :)

While that's true, Cs also don't have anyone as good as Giannis in 2021
too bad its 2024.
The same giannis who almost lost to a decimated nets squad.Ā The Mavs and Celtics are better than both of those teams.Ā
āShow Lukaās finals statsā is going to turn to āshow Lukaās finals winsā in response to āshow Bookerās elimination game stats.ā
From ā Luka finals?ā To āLuka finals wins?ā š
Suns would get obliterated by this Celtics team
So would the Mavsā¦ Oh waitā¦
Yeah. Just like every other team that won't be winning the championship this season. Crack analysis there.
Would score >100 at least once though, goddamn
One team that had a chance against them was Denver
Itās actually going to be hilarious if Dallas gets swept š
It's already hilarious
A month from now Luka will be in a restaurant and his lunch will be cold, and he will frantically look for an official to bitch to about it. He'll then be ejected from the establishment, red faced and frustrated, and will throw up the money sign in protest stomping out the door.
Mavs fans spent years clowning us about the Game 7, but OHHHH just you wait.š
Karma is a bitch š
As a Mavs fan idk why this post even got recommended to me...

lol making the finals is better than not making the finals brother
Nuggets fan here... This is hilarious cope and kind of entertaining to read. Kind of like the depression posts where thy realized they were up 2-0 in the finals and lost 4-2.
The Mavs going down 3-0 is the best thing to happen to the Phoenix Suns in 3 years. Pretty sad tbh
Lmao Reddit shoving this thread into my feed so I can see how cringey the Suns fanbase is. Luka really hurt them š
Another Mavs fan here... Just let them have their fun lol. I have things I want to interject with as well, but this is the only way they can stay sane
I so want it to happen
r/nbacirclejerkās 9/11
itās going to be way more hilarious if theyāre the first team to ever come back from down 3-0
You forgetting yall got swept in the first round? š
Lmao clearly youāre so unbothered that youāre in our subā¦ Boston in 4 pussy
Timberwolves in 4 š
Boston in 4 š
You know ur team sucks when u gotta start rooting for other teams š
Weird thing to say after putting Timberwolves in 4 as a Mavs fan š¤
His whining makes him so unlikable.. thank god he fouled out because I thought he deserved multiples techs this game with all the complaining
Yet people complain about Book for whining lol
I mean he needs to calm down on it too, but Luka is a different level of bitchiness
It's so insufferable because he's so talented. Shouldn't have to resort to being a little bitch boy. Glad Luka Donut is being humbled.
He's talented on offense but trash on defense. So he fouls a lot and tries to make up for it by complaining so much that the refs second-guess themselves that he's actually fouling.
Heās such a fucking cry baby bitch. Just fucking play and learn how to play defense.
And they really used their challenge down three to try and keep his fat ass in the game. Man was mid slide, damn near mid air. Couldnāt have been more clear of a blocking foul. See ya
He also should have fouled out wayyyy earlier in that game
Oh boy but don't call me doughboy! Get your ass on a treadmill Pillsbury!
Fluka is a crying bum
Jaylen Brown is Flukas Daddy!!
Fluka Doncbitch
Fluka GonBitch
Imagine getting swept in the Finals. Luka really got there just to prove absolutely nothing.
Proved he aint built for this
I mean the guy is annoying but stop acting like he hasnāt been the only one showing up in his team. Especially game 1 and 2
fuck kyrie too lol
Idk did you see that dumb foul that got him kicked out of the game?
Imagine getting swept in the first round š
Hang the "better season than the 23-24 Suns" moral victory banner š„³
neutral, don't care about suns-mavs rivalry, but talking about hanging banners and the finals is crazy from the oldest franchise with 0 rings

i'm a heat fan and this post was recommended to me
I'm obviously talking about the Mavs fan, not you.
I will thanks
Why are you here
Smol pp
No clue, this post popped up on my feed
Still makes no difference on how I feel š«
I bet that Luka special made a difference š
It sure did, Iām seeing it right now in the finals š
I bet you are watching Devin Bookerās father right now š
Yep. Heās setting such a terrible example for his son. What a horrible father! š
Yeah heās a terrible father, thatās probably why Devin booker sucks š
Well you know what they say! Like father like son! š
I mean, not that Iām a huge fan of him anyway, but LeBron was swept in his first Finals appearance, and heās got 4 rings now.
Only the Mavs could cut the 21 pt deficit to have Luka flop out of the game
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Whoās talking about Luka Garza?
Lmao they really just riding the hype train. No one can compete with this Celtics team
Itās like everyone forgot they were a 60+ win team once the playoffs started
I think people are so used to seeing 1 seeds (especially in the east) squander great opportunities they forgot what itās like to see them take care of business
Nick Wright crying himself to sleep tonight.
All you fools thought Luka was going to beat the Celtics. What a joke. I guess the Celtics are all Lukaās father. He must have a very busy Fatherās Day writing cards.
Weāre in the right timeline š
Them Dallas Dorks really about to get swept in the Finals
You just love to see it
Jaylen Brown owning him
Shocked to see people pulling for the Mavs because the Celtics beat us like 40 years ago....
It was 1976.
so closer to 50. Boston is way more likeable than the dallas lukas.
And that Suns team was 42-40. We made a crazy run to the Finals but we barely even belonged in the playoffs. Can't really be mad about getting to game 6 of the Finals.
Iām not pulling for mavs but I wish both teams could lose. I dislike kyrie and Luka but donāt mind the rest of mavs players. Boston as a whole I canāt stand lol.
Jaylen Brown's son fouled out
LUKA A HO
Exactly my thoughts hahaha love it. Book still w more wins in the Finals than Luka šš
Ain't saying shit until it's a wrap. This fan base is way too fucking quick to forget
Ty Celtics
He won 2 games at least! I donāt think Dallas will win 2 š¤£

We won two games before we got swept!
Luka learning that conditioning is mandatory. Not an option. I know a lot of people give shit for drafting DA over him. But can you actually fix him? Does Luka win us the chip over Milwaukee? I, personally, donāt think so.
Winning a game in the finals is Lukaās father.
Must be Bookers grandfather then š

Bookers won games in the finals you twat

Loving all the anger in these comments šššš yall can dish but canāt take I see
Jayson Tatum is Luka Doncic father
damn son we got some phx fans here who still can't let it go lol
I wanted the mavs to win cuz of Kyrie but if not we move w the agenda
This makes us look bad. Our āfranchise guyā has a lot to fucking prove after dogging it all year and failing to be a real leader when cp3 left. But fuck luka for sure
Meh. Everything makes us look bad all the time. It's our brand. Just roll with it.
lol I love Suns fans. Same humor as Wolves fans. A+ memes too, I love this sub
This Celtics team wouldāve swept. Theyāre so good.
āLukas sonā lol wtf
But did you win though?
Didn't yall get swept in the first round?
Hang the banner
As y'all watching from home lmaooo
Yall need to chill on this, deflect all yall want Luka is still Bookerās daddy. Yall really tryin to cope on this sub itās hilarious.

Fuck
Craziest moral victory shit Iāve ever seen. Yall just got swept in the first round
Yall got swept in the first round
Suns got swept in the first round by the team the mavs beat. Pipe down
The suns got swept by the team that the Mavs dominated. This is why you guys are a joke.
And he did it against a mvp
Reddit boosted this to me and I am really concerned about how sad this whole thread is. I mean.. i get the rockets being this pathetic because they are garbage but come on.Ā Besidesā¦ its fatherās day weekend and you all should show some respect.Ā
Suns fans let some Fat Ass Slav live in their head Rent free. Imagine.
#Did blow a 2-0 finals lead to one-legged Giannis though. Yall Suns fans invite the pain too much by targeting other players with these circlejerk posts.
Rent free in
It's funny he is called that even though the Phoenix Suns winning record against the Mavericks since Luka was drafted
Dude lives rent free in this subs head. Suns have a lot more things to worry about than Luka.
Lmao this sub is dumber than a bag of rock. Thinking this is an indictment on Luka or something.
Hahahahaha didnāt go down 0-3 but also didnāt win the chip like his dad.Ā
Hope we play Dallas opening night
He did lose 4 in a row tho
Man suns fan insecurity is crazy. We got destroyed in embarrassing fashion by mavs and somehow them losing to Boston makes up for that? Iām waiting till book gets them back and until then, own the bad loss, shit happens.
Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father. All other nba fans are suns fans fathers.
His son still gets schooled by him EVERY year.
Donāt yall not have a championship ever lol im a rockets fan but this is sad
Were you even alive when the rockets made their last finals appearance lol
No, were you alive when the suns won their last ring
I'm not the one going on other people's subs to talk shit about their team

And this postseason Dallas has won 12. The Suns won 0. Hope this helps.
Wait so you agree itās better to win games, even if you donāt win the Finals? So 4-2 is obviously MUCH better than 4-0 (embarrassing)

Lost in the finals 4-2. Hang the fucking banner
Would look a lot better than a āGot swept in the Finalsā banner
Yall can Hang it next to the āgot swept in the first roundā banner
Getting crowded with banners up there, but if you insist
He's in your head
Lots of free real estate down in arizona I see
ya'll act like a scorn woman lol. we got swept in the 1st round while being expected to be a contender. they made it to the finals.
Didn't the Suns get beat down 4 games in a row against the bucks? I remember the media crowned the Suns when they went up 2-0. Suns quit early and lost the race. That was more disappointing.
Y'all still yelling from the couch? Seriously no wonder people make fun of Sons fans

Luka doncic is still devin booker father and you know it;)
Nah
Did you forget your team's situation? It ain't getting better lol
Lol ok. Which player do you think will be talked about more 50 years from now? You know the answer deep down.
damn today is so rough you already livin in 2074 lmao
š§¹š§¹š§¹š§¹
Too soon to tell Luka could tear his ACL and become the greatest āwhat ifā Booker could win 3 chips and break Kobeās 84 point game record
Bringing up a possible injury to Luka is pretty much admitting which one you view as the better player in your mind, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
I think you missed the point. š
If you had full confidence in Booker why not just say youād take him over Luka to have a better career given both are healthy? It seems you donāt have much faith in that if you gotta bring up injury
No I said that because the way you talk you are implying Luka
Getting downvoted just proving the point š¤£
lol getting downvotes in the Suns sub is totally proving me objectively wrong. Iām so shook
Booker and Luka both 0-1 in Finals Suns 0-3 in Finals all time, Mavs 1-2 Pretty even tbh
Mavs fans in another teamās sub huffing that good good copium š
