NBA Finals Game 3 … this series is a wrap

Kyrie has his best game of the series … two things, one, he was due, but secondly, Porzingis not playing made a difference … in the first two games, the Mavs were shooting about 64% on shots at the rim with Porzingis in … when Al Horford is in, 72% … it makes a difference 35 points for Kyrie

But it was one of Luka’s worst … clearly frustration took over - bad fouls that he took, some questionable calls, but that’s beside the point … it was cumulative frustration from the series, and the dam broke through

How you respond matters, and that’s what the Celtics are doing according to Jayston Tatum, especially when the Mavs were making runs

The Celtics are the better team, it’s a formality at this point, and as Jaylen Brown says, they’re getting it done when it matters the most

Kyries & Luka with 35 & 27 pts respectively combined for 62 … other three starters, just 21 points

Tatum & Brown with 31 & 30 pts respectively, combining for 61 … other three starters, 33 points

Stanley Cup Finals Game 3 tonight

-if you’re a Carolina Hurricanes fan, I hope you enjoy this game and watch it tonight … Panthers lead 2-0, but series goes to Edmonton - hopefully we don’t have a repeat of the NBA Finals because I want compelling games … but the reason why you should watch as a Canes fan, and in particular the Florida Panthers - they’re essentially what the Hurricanes are, or what the Canes are trying to be … awesome defensively as a team, not just their defensemen, Alexander Barkov is a blend Sebatian Aho and Jordan Staal, and Matthew Tkachuck is everything you want Andrei Svechnikov to become from a physicality, scoring, playmaking, edginess
