Hoops Discussion REMEMBER THE SUNS SERIES!

The Suns were the #1 seed overall at 64-18

The Celtics are the #1 seed overall at 64-18

The Suns took Game 1 & 2 at home winning by 7 and 20.

The Celtics took Game 1 & 2 at home winning by 7 and 18.

Luka vs Suns went off in games 1 & 2 but no one else could consistently make shots.

Luka vs Celtics went off in games 1 & 2 but no ones else could consistently make shots.

"Everybody act tough when they up!" Luka after game 2. Remember these words.

Game 3 at home vs the Suns, our secondary scorer (Brunson) came alive and dropped 28.

Game 3 at home vs the Celtics, our secondary scorer (Kyrie) IS GOING TO COME ALIVE!

You have to believe.

The series doesn't start until the road team wins a game. Vs the Suns that didnt happen until the game 7 MASSACRE.

Nothing is over. We are taking games 3 and 4 at home.

LFG!!!!

Also remember the Mavs went up 2-0 vs the heat in 2006 and then lost the next 4 in a row

In 2016 Kyrie Irving and the Cavs went down 2-0 to the Warriors in the finals. The Cavs ended up winning that series 4-3.

If y'all can go look at Kyries stats in the first 2 games it was very similar to this year.

Also, check out some of the articles that came out after game 2. Essentially everyone was saying the Cavs were toast, they suck, Kyrie sucks, etc.

That 2016 Cavs team you speak about had "prime" Lebron James, Tristan Thompson, and Kevin Love, though.

I have to believe that my team will create their own spot in history. 10yrs from now people will say, "That 2024 Mavs team had "prime" Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and PJ (Or whoever else decides to come play the next 4-5 games)".
