Playoffs 2024 - R2 - G1 - Mavs @ Thunder (Tuesd., 9:30PMEST)

For tonight I am just worried about if this type of FOULs will be allowed on Luka and Kyrie. Nba refs are so powerful, they can make Suns 3-0 Wolves matchup into 0-4, and same thing against Denver. Even without Gobert its an elite defense if you swallow the whistle.

We're screwed at least for tonight, two Mavs haters reffing. SGA 20+ free throws Luka won't get foul calls.

Those weren't fouls. That's good defense. They closed space and use their length to distract very well. There wasnt any clear hacking on the arm or impeding of progress on the court.

Those were not fouls in the 90s. Today? Hell yes. Brunson would have got it 100000%!

Those are not fouls in general. If they are fouls, where are the foul? Playing strong defense isnt a foul.

Kyrie might be dealing with some nerves and needs to settle down. Hopefully he settles in. In the meantime, we need to get our aggression going. Luka should not settle too much for the step backs. Let's get into the paint more b/c the others are hitting shots right now. Plus, we want to get our bigs involve on the alley oops.

We need a comeback series out of exum. I think this is a series he can his experience overseas to out-smart some of these youngins.

joesha1698 · Post #91 » by **joesha1698** » Wed May 8, 2024 2:05 am

Ball dont lie! Some of these sga calls are weak!

GermanFan120 · Post #92 » by **GermanFan120** » Wed May 8, 2024 2:06 am

At least we didn't dig a 20 points deficit hole in Q1.

joesha1698 · Post #93 » by **joesha1698** » Wed May 8, 2024 2:07 am

Good defense by Kyrie. OKC think they can pick on Kyrie but he showed in the Clipper series that he can defend at a high level. We'll see how this series go. Exum has to good luck and hopefully they start going on.

The refs nowadays judge everything not on the plays but on players' body language. The head flop by SGA and Brunson works 8/10 times.

If we can build a small lead or keep it close going into the 4th quarter. We have a shot.

Having to watch on my phone. Did Kai hit Chet in the face or not?

GermanFan120 · Post #97 » by **GermanFan120** » Wed May 8, 2024 2:43 am

Ok the fix is in. Just give them the W refs.

Dmavs12 · Post #98 » by **Dmavs12** » Wed May 8, 2024 2:46 am

Too many turnovers. This is about to be over by half time.

ChipotleWest · Post #99 » by **ChipotleWest** » Wed May 8, 2024 3:01 am

22 free throws for OKC, and Luka is 4-12. I'm surprised they're not up 20.
