MVP of the night goes to PJ to me!

You watch yrs of playoff games everyone making it through a grueling season has nicks and aches but you play tough and grind through . Luka is no doubt banged up but looked no different from last night when he was bricking his 3's and tonight he was stroking it as well as PJ who have been both super cold.
Draymond predicted Mavs in 5 games even after losing the 1st game with no mention of Luka being hurt .

On to Mavs country....

This should be a crazy game 3 crowd in Dallas. People bringing barn doors and everything. LFG!

My observation for tonight ...no dogs barking

I think we got 85% Luka tonight, 60% Luka in Game 1. Hopefully we get 85%+ Luka for the rest of the series, if so I think we have a good chance of winning it.

Refs were not being dicks in game 2. Hence the difference.

With the speed Lively learning things on fly, he should have a career night on Saturday; Second half Kyrie will also come. One of THJ or PJ hitting 5 3s Mavs will take the 3rd game.

Kidd's challenge must be one of the best among the coaches. Today was GREAT.

Watch the 3rd quarter. Mavs made a run but REFS said no.

Lou Dort getting 3 offensive foul calls on legit screens. They made a run out of those off. foul screen calls. And they also eliminated Mavs offense using screens at the top with those BS offensive foul calls.
Dort kicking Doncic ball and then jumping on his legs. Should've been easy kick ball call but no it became OKC fastbreak.

SGA is treated like a WNBA princess in the same court while Kyrie-Luka is defended with two hands on them. When everyone hacks you and hit your arm, then you cannot even dribble.

They f'in tried tonight as well.
Mavs were playing amazing with Luka and PJ. Shooting 70% from 3 but they still tried their best with touch fouls to SGA, Dort flopping giving him offensive fouls and ****. Its crazy how no one can get close to SGA or they'd get foul called.

Good adjustments on Kidd. Great game by THJ and even Green were shooting lights out. They feel mad about this ref supported Thunder **** for sure. Without refs those kids dont know any ****. Thunder boys and girls out there is just lives with calls. Their brand of basketball is as **** as it gets.

Hope Kidd and team trainer do something to get the Mavs players ready for an early afternoon game on Saturday. Two big losses already for early games this playoffs.

Cant wait to watch this game later this morning. PJ must have been on fire.

I thought he would be the key to any PO success because he is our best 2way player.

But it is a Saturday. Let's hope we just lose on early Sundays

We desperately need fatigue/bad conditioning/injury talk before game 3. Win guaranteed.

Bob8 · Post #98 » by **Bob8** » Fri May 10, 2024 9:47 am

Player that I'm impressed the most about is Kyrie. He plays totally unselfish basketball, having just his team in mind. What a steal was his trade.

Does reading come hard for you or why do you feel the need to make stuff up? Me and Daoneandonly were just talking and agreeing that Luka needs to get into a better physical shape. Why is that so horrible to talk about? You labeled us as haters and we shouldn't watch... Like what kind of childish nonsense is this?

Did we accidentally jinxed THJ into having a great game? Or did Kidd showed us why he's paid the big bucks?

I just hope he's not his usual self going 0-8 the next game.

Did you ever consider that 6'7, 230 Pg, who's having the biggest usage in Nba and plays around 40 minutes, will always have more problems with his body than light weight 6'2 Pg with far lesser usage? Not everyone is LeBron. Play Jokic like Mavs are playing Doncic and I guarantee you he wouldn't last till playoffs. Luka had to play more than a month without Kyrie, everything being on him, that of course weighs heavily now. Kidd will have to find solution for RS usage and bring Luka more fresh in playoffs next years. Luka has basically played playoffs basketball the whole season. Nobody is capable of that.
