Murder by the Mavs tonight. Game 7! I mean Phoenix has won all their home games in a walk but it's just nice to push them to the brink.

I think the game 7 between the Bucks and Celtics can go either way. I like DBook and CP3 but I think it’d be pretty interesting to see the Mavs pull off the upset

Always tough to go against the home teams in a Game 7. It is a fun little contrast though, the home teams backed by American star players and the away teams with international stars.

Congrats to the Celtics. The Bucks looked pretty defeated tonight. Couldn’t buy a bucket in the 2nd half

I think the Bucks seriously messed up their in-season moves, first cutting Cousins and then trading DiVincenzo, Hood and Ojeleye for Ibaka, who barely played in the playoffs. Of course hindsight is 20/20 and they couldn't have known that Middleton would go down, but if they hadn't cut Cousins they would have had no need to lose depth to bring in Ibaka.
Doesn't make a difference on a night like tonight, but there were games earlier this series where DiVincenzo getting Hill's minutes (65 minutes, 5 pts total!) puts them over the top.

I'm legitimately nervous for this Mavs game. It's been a while since there's been anything to be nervous about there.
Here's hoping that exactly one Dallas sports team wins tonight and it's over by 8:30 or so.

Mavs aren't even playing great right now, just a huge gag job from the Suns so far. Still time to turn it around, but this would be pretty devastating for the Suns.

What an absolutely embarrassing way to end a 64-win season

Well.
That was... a half.

Some of them are playing pretty badly, but Luka and Dinwiddie... well combining for 48 points is something. Combining for 48 points in a HALF is something else.

What a hilarious halftime box score. The Mavs have two players who have scored more than 3 points, and they are ahead by 30. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

Speechless. How on earth does anyone explain what happened in that first half? Booker & Paul have a combined 3 points. Did they both eat a big mac & peanut buster parfait before the game? Yikes.

Mavs could just play defense and not try a shot for the rest of the game, and still probably win.

That’s gotta be the most embarrassing game 7 loss in basketball history, right?

Considering that the Suns were clearly the best team in the regular season, yeah that was about as pathetic as it gets. That Chris Paul 2-0 lead thing might make them just forfeit all their Game 1's from here on out while he's on their roster, just one of those sports things you can't really explain.

As a fan of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, I remember an ever worse defeat by point difference also inflicted by the Mavs:

Though at least for that, the Mavs were the higher seed and playing at home.

The most embarrassing elimination loss was the Rockets a few years ago, lost to the Spurs without Kawhi at home by 39 (yes, Harden was there). But that was a Game 6 as I recall. Can't really think of a worse Game 7 performance than last night.
