Nogresses would rather act out against and ruin a popular white player than see their entire sport and their personal paychecks grow. Least surprising news ever.

The wnba already has unathletic girl foul problems. And actual intentional foul should be punished harshly. They can't afford more fouling.

It's keeping attention on the wnba, though, I guess. And they'll make changes to help the brand be more palatable.... and then be called racist for pandering to the white player. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of affirmative action, grievance warriors.

The wnba and women's soccer should be forced to fight to the death for the right to exist because as bad as things are the world doesn't deserve both.

The time between the conference finals and the finals was so long I feel like we're starting a new season.

Luka playing great and Mavs are down by 20+... Mavs' role players are so outgunned, none of them can create their own offense outside of Kyrie, and he's been absolutely horrific today. Cut it down to 8 on Luka's greatness, and it's already back to 20.

This Mavs team is much improved, but it's still shocking Luka carried this team to a Finals. They're still a move or two away from being a perennial favorite.

Bench production is the story of this game. It’s really nothing more than that. Porzingis got hot and Mavs bench (plus Kyrie) are cold.

Celtics took away the lob too. Will be interesting to see game 2 adjustments.

Yep, the Celtics are expected to win this for a reason. Their top 3 averaged over 20 per game and they have the better D so it's tough.

Dallas can win this, but they will need to hit more than 25% of their 3 pointers and can't have Luka play superman again.

Brahma Brahma is used to rooting for the refs local Boston team....

I haven’t seen even a slight bit of evidence that this dude is capable of forming a complete argument with regard to Basketball.

If the Celtics shoot 55/40/100 as a team through the first 30 minutes of every game in this series while the Mavs shoot 32/17/75, then Boston runs away with it. I guess we’ll see if that happens 3 more times. If I remember correctly it happened twice in the Clippers series too.

Even with the absurd shooting, it’s not like 107pts is some blistering offensive performance.

Remember two years ago when the Celtics won Game 1 due to outlier Horford and three point shooting performances and the Boston homers thought every game was gonna go that way?
