Comment on THE DALLAS MAVERICKS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION
TrippyFocus@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoI said “gentleman’s sweep” which means a team won in 5 games. Some say it’s specifically when a team goes up 3-0, is a “gentleman” and lets the other team win 1 at home to not get swept, and then finishes the series in game 5. Which would also be the case here.

This series was more like a “prolonging the suffering” sweep. Other than a few competitive quarters the Mavs never looked like they had a chance to win this series unfortunately. Game 4 was such an obvious fluke at that point. I’m saying this as a purple and gold blooded Boston hater: The Celtics were just too good for anything the West had to put up against them this year to have a good series (for anyone but Boston fans that is haha).
