Funny if they stop spotting this team +10 freethrows, we might have a game here!

Only down by 1 after refs gifting them 6897 free throws.

Luka and Kai very average today

Nice to see Kyrie step up to defend sga. Close out on those 3s and make him put it on the floor with a little time on the shotclock.

Oh well we're not winning this series, it's just too much to ask with Luka's knee to overcome. Even if we do it'll catch up to the Mavs against Minnesota. If Luka was healthy I'd like our changes to go to the Finals.

It was close until Diagnault called a TO, since then OkC can't miss and DAL can't hit...
Take Luka out, it's not his day

Why is Timmy playing and Hardy gets no minutes...bench him, he's terrible :banghead:

they need to trade or waive him this offseason,I'm done with him

Stand around offenses are getting chewed up by the defenses in the West. OKC likes to overplay and that kind of defense works against teams that stand around at the 3pt line with no player movement and no ball movement.
If Dallas loses tomorrow ....I'll look to see if Luka has 6/7 TO's ,most picked off by a OKC smothering ,gambling defense and Luka pounding the air out of the basketball.

Getting close to the TO's and definitely pounding the air out of the basketball

6th TO and then a 3 ball

OKC wants the ball more than Dallas does ,they're hungrier

The jumping at defender on defense at the 3 by THJ and Green is killing us. You have to chase them off that 3. But if you run at them w/o discipline, they are just re-setting and getting those shots. You cannot play this way. You gotta have discipline.

That narrative is not going to fly ,Luka's knee is not making him miss shots and throw the ball away so much ....he is not hobbling AT ALL

I do not like the setting for 3s by Luka..reminds me of game 1 vs the Clippers.

tleikheen · Post #115 » by **tleikheen** » Wed May 8, 2024 3:50 am

LOL ,Kidd trying to go small with PJ as the Center at that is getting cooked

Whoever coming out of the West (except Denver) is not going to beat Boston.

Be ready for Tatum cringly talking about Kobe in the entire summer...

Game over. Turn this off.

Mavs dying early with Luka's misses and OKC stroking the 3 ball

BliscoSantos · Post #120 » by **BliscoSantos** » Wed May 8, 2024 3:52 am

Luka's been terrible this offseason,despite the numbers...... he's turned in to a more skilled THJ ...I know he's injured but come on,stop shooting threes
