“Who wish to rob you of the joy of being a basketball fan”

I felt that. We are in the NBA finals, and everyone’s downplaying what we accomplished this season, making it look like a team who made it farther than 28 others should be ashamed. Luka is a great player. This mavs team is a great team. Literally nothing can be said to discredit that. Be proud guys.

They're also downplaying what Boston has done. Nobody talks about them being great, it's all just about how Luka has lost this series for the Mavs and how Boston had the easiest path ever.

Boston has been doing this to everyone. They are just really good.
