Ive thought for along time now I wanted it to come down to Dallas and Denver ....... We all know Jokic is like big brother to Luka and I bet Luka saw Joker take care of business against Minnesota and Luka let his basketball take care of business tonight instead of crying for calls like last game .......He got his game focus back.

Congrats Lively II, the youngest (20yr and 94 day) Mavs to get a playoff double-double

No crying today? But it's true Luka wasn't fat today, he must to workout hard between the games.

Only one sure thing in this series, every time Archx&co. cry Luka plays great and Mavs win. Keep it going guys.

Kyrie is bothered by OKC length, he can't get good looks, unlikely that changes in next game.

DJJ and Lively were great and Washington scored, when it was needed.

Finally Luka showed up for the game today. He can learn a thing or two from Brunson since they basically play the same type of game. Since Brunson showed up in more playoff games this year, that makes Luka the European Jalen Brunson. :lol:

What about game 2? Looks like Luka likes to play in OKC, he was great in both crucial away games. Other possibility is that he's reading this board and can't bear constant crying after losses. ;)

Luka was bad in some games, but some so called fans in this board were even worse after every loss. Maybe you should learn something from Kidd and Mavs, winning every single game after a loss. Or you're a fan only when team wins?

The real problem in this series is Kyrie. Luka had 2 good games, Kyrie 1 Q. Mavs' saviours Washington, DJJ and Lively.

Btw. my prediction before the game was Mavs by 10. 8-)

If Kyrie didnt save his ass for round 1, there wouldn't be an OKC series for Luka to play in. Plain and simple.

I get it, we can criticise Luka and not Kyrie because he had great series against Clippers. Mavs need both to do anything in playoffs. Mavs traded Kyrie for only 1 reasons, scoring points, around 10 points is far too little. I hope we can close this series without Kyrie, he's really suffering against OKC D, and we can see normal Kyrie in WCF. I just hope that he's not physically and emotionally spent after all games he played after the injury. Potential series against Denver can be won only with great Kyrie.

No, you should. Luka and Mavs have good games only when Mavs' fan base on this board cry. Just look at comments before game 5 of Clippers series, and before game 2 and 5 in this series. Pattern is very clear. Fanbase cry, Luka plays great. ;)

Good...then maybe he's reading and those who cry and whine are having an impact on the series.
Keep the tears a flowing guys :)

Other explanation is that Archx is sending him sms and bullying him how fat he's. :D Whichever is, it works. But unfortunately we won't get whining after this game, so game 6 is in a big danger. :cry:
