Down 10 after missing that many open 3's is pretty good I guess..

I know every NBA player carries to a certain extent but is no one going to talk about how painfully obvious it is how much SGA relies on it ?

The guy would be a role player if they were more strict on it

Kenrich Williams sighting.

He was a nobody in Charlotte. Now people acting like he was a good player all along smh.

They disrespect our team like we aint out here handing out missing pieces for contenders. Charlotte Stand Up!

I don't think its about dissin Charlotte tbh, it's more how much more physically tougher and improved Dallas have gotten with the trading in of Washington and Gafford.

You guys got a decent player back in return in Grant Williams, but I don't think its a stretch to say that the Mavs would be here right now if they didn't make those mid season trades.

i hate my G4 OKC bet now, i forgot Luka has that killer instinct (unlike say SGA, Tatum, maybe Edwards).

OKC has to create offense from their defense cuz the half court is clogged. Get in transition fellas

Kenrich in is good. No idea why Mark didn’t want to play him sooner.

Offense still looks too difficult and forced. Need to settle into a rhythm. Getting stops and out in transition would help.

He's washed. He's been doing cardio these playoffs.

A valuable asset at this point off the court. (Expiring contract, right?)

You’re an OKC fan, your opinion is mute.

Mavs racking up fouls.

Good. OKC is being outplayed at this point, they need the help from the refs to make this a close game.

Your team is playing maybe the most important game in a decade and you're here to collect dumb comments. That's also dumb, IMHO :lol:

Just having Chet stand around the three point line waiting for a pass is such a waste of his talent.

Getting a decent back up big man for Chet is essential.. And a more capable floor running PG than Giddey.

Presti needs to start spending from his massive war chest of assets.

Back on the Mavs, Gafford has been an absolute beast for Dallas. And what makes it funnier is that he would have been perfect for the Lakers too (exactly what they need)

Yeah Giddey will be on the move but they will also have 35 million in cap space.

To sign who, Spencer Dinwiddie? I don't think Harden or George are going back to OKC, and after that Tobia Harris is the best FA. Do you have anyone on the radar? Or do you hope to trade into cap space? And again, who would that be?

I think OKC hould have made the John Collins trade personally, he makes a lot of sense for this team and is another player I would look at if I was OKC. He would be a good starter or 6th man, and give the team more size shooting, and back up 5 they could use.

Great defense by Jalen Williams.

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
