WCF Game 1 5-22-24 Series tied 0-0

[winforlose]

I thought you guys had the best defense in the history of ever? You might win this game, but dayum! OKC played better D.

Our D is definitely below our standard tonight. No one will dispute it. Most of us are very surprised by it thus far.

Rudy what the hell kind of box out was that?

[younggunsmn]

Rudy needs to level up his energy and intensity, inexcusable the amount of offensive rebounds he is giving up.

These scuds are hard to rebound

I’m not trolling either, just looking for good discussion. Hard to find these days.

I was expecting Mavs to get their ass beat Game 1, like always. Kinda surprised, looks like a lot of open space.

We decided not to play defense

There were 2 games in the Denver series where the defense looked this bad.
Sometimes we get aggressive DPOY Rudy, other times we get.....this.

[jpatrick]

Im not sure why, but we were completely unprepared for a pick and roll lob threat. Like we have no idea what to do.

Wolves are human. They are showing it tonight. This is not our best offense or defense. Ant and KAT are both not playing like themselves. Still a lot of basketball left to play, but this is anyone’s game right now.

Buddy coming to the opposing team's fans and mocking their team in their game thread is not a great way of broaching "good discussion." Unless your meaning of "good discussion" is a lot different from most peoples.

What ???

[Calinks]

Mavs are definitely in a position to take this one if we don't figure out some better defense. They are crushing the drop.

[younggunsmn]

Our brains and our hearts need to come to the party soon.
We'd be down 15 if their shooting was normalized.

[winforlose]

Mavs out of challenges win or lose. That might be big later.

[jpatrick]

Wait. Dallas challenging a jump ball? Wouldn’t that be their last challenge?

[KGdaBom]

Mavs out of challenges at least. We still have ours right?

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Ant and Kat not shooting well, Rudy giving rebound, Mike awful… Naz and Naw too… but we still here. Go wolves !

Ant making bad decisions

[_AIJ_]

They have no answer for their bigs
