The reason Kidd didn't call time out was because he knew this game doesn't matter no more. We are going to game 7 and we deserve it.

This has nothing to do with the refs. Mavs playing like ****. 12 turnovers already. Wake the **** up.

This is some of the worst coaching I've seen. How in the world do you not call a TO throughout any of that? Absolutely ridiculous.

Refs, Kidd and the Mavs have all been terrible. Kind of impossible to overcome all that. I'm turning the game off.

Mavs had a 4 point lead then refs called like 6 fouls on them in 30 seconds some terrible then OKC went on the run Kidd did nothing. So there's blame to go around but refs are there to make sure OKC wins. Call me a quitter but I'm not watching the second half. If the Mavs somehow pull it out that's on me but I'm not worried about it.

The Kidd experience, after perfextly coached series allow 18 points turn around in 3.5.miutes with no TO...
Defense wins draft lotteries!

Thunder have 14 more FGA. That’s going to do it.
But how does the math works? I see that OKC has 8 less TOs. ORBD are the same.

Luka needs to calm down. I know the refs doing stupid stuff but it's messing with him and the rest of his teammates. Need to settle down. A TO would have helped but clearly Kidd is incapable of doing so for whatever reason.

Because Kidd lost a timeout on the challenge. He needed to save one.

I think this is the 3 balls OKC made creating the difference. When OKC is in foul troubles, the Mavs try to take advantage but it turns out to be turnovers and fouls. This team doesn't know how to draw a foul. I also think the rebounding from OKC is too strong despite being undersized. Something's wrong with the positioning.
I think Hardy performs despite making rookie mistakes. Green has made significant leap from last game. But both Gafford and Lively are not as good as usual. I know Chet is way more focused and determined. Let's resolve the spacing issue first. It's too easy for the OKC to set up defense.

Precisely. Luka has no true leadership when facing adversity. He only plays well when things are smooth and refs are kind to him.

I'm not just being a homer for Luka but I really don't think a ref should be able to call a technical on someone for just complaining about a foul. Dort complained several times they didn't T him up. This is a home playoff game for the Mavs and you're going to T up their star for that? Why because of his reputation?

The hole is deep enough that the second half is meaningless. Kidd should be preparing game 7 now.

I think he knows like some of us when the refs are trying to fix the game and he can't handle it. I'm pissed off right now I wouldn't be able to either.

And that's why Dirk is the greatest mav of all time as of today.

Don't forget the 2006 Finals. Biggest rig of all time and Dirk kicked over a trash can.
