O'Neale is such a freaking scrub. Dude was just running around trying to injure Mavs players in the 1st half.

But this team is absolutely sensational when locked in. Kidd is absolutely the right coach for this team and kudos to the entire coaching staff. Bertans playing like Peja, Green/DFS combo on defense is just a joy to watch. They even managed to render Gobert useless on defense and take away his rebounding positions by double teaming him.

Also Maxi and Brunson are something we were missing in previous two playoffs series and it shows how much of a difference they are when they play up to their potential.

I just hope Luka comes back soon (100% healthy) because he needs to get back in to his rythmn. It's fine resting injured player but you also risk cooling him down completely.

I would actually put luka atleast on the bench in game 4. They dont need to play him, but just to screw with utahs plans.

It was a glorious game

I just hope Mavs don't outsmart themselves by thinking too much about situation. If he's ready he should play. If not, he shouldn't.

In Casey Smith we trust. If he calls it and Luka can get back 100%, I'd say go for it so you don't risk Luka not touching a basketball for half a month. There is a runway for players coming back from injury and he'll most likely get the feel of it his first time back. Plus I want Luka to bury the Jazz.
