  1. Even tho each game were close, this has gotta be one of the worst conference final considering both conferences, I don’t remember the last time both conferences finals had a 4-0 sweep but it’s looking real likely

  2. Ant needs a couple Dennis Rodman type players to get him through these clutch moments.

  3. Kyrie played a huge part in his first ring that buzzer beater was nasty asf but if he wins a ring with mavs he’s super extra solidified

  4. Gafford big block then huge throw down after getting pushed by Gobert. Love to see it for Gaff! Seems like the nicest, most respectful dude in the room.

  5. "It's the most talented offensive backcourt in the history of the NBA." – are you serious? 🥴🥴
    Do Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson play dodgeball?

  6. KAT keep standing on the corner and either shooting brick or losing rebound 😂 Had everything to be great dominant C/PF but chose to be brick shooting guard

  7. How do you take Denver to 7 game's and win in Denver then get the Mavs and all of a sudden they shoot terribly and that defense that has carried them is just getting picked apart by Luca and Kyrie. Oh and the self proclaimed best big man shooter of all time KAT has shot the ball so awfully he should be ashamed of himself. Boston-Mavericks final I def had Boston but not Mavs and they look great and it's going to be a great series. Both are up 3-0 and no team has ever blown that lead 154-0 all time..
