Anyone else ever get the sense that Ayton is in Luka's head a little bit when he guards him or is near him on defense?

Luka has activated Extreme Whine Mode. Literally every time he’s running up or down the court he’s whining to the refs.

5 combined flops between Paul and Crowder in six minutes

I mean, if Phoenix fans can get in his head sitting in the stands, it's not really that hard to do.

Luka is trying to draw the fouls that both teams got in the last game. Thankfully the refs are letting them play today.

You need to stop. Just stop.

Going to Boban isn't the answer.
Turning Luka into a 1990's PF isn't the answer.

Sometimes you have to just accept the other team is better and causes problems with no easy solutions. But this gimmick nonsense ain't it.

Guess who called it. WHO'S THE IDIOT NOW?

Amazing what happens when the Mavs actually play team basketball ? They share the ball

He's switched onto him a few times. I noticed last game he spooked Luka with his contests on stepbacks. Now Luka burgered a wide open layup near him and forced it vs Ayton on 2 straight possessions. I might be reading into it a bit but it seems like Luka takes their matchup slightly personal

"my frontoffice knew they could get Paul for nothing and he would miraculously stay healthy for two full years"

He tried hunting him on pick and roll 3 times and got clamped each time. Nasty flops on 2 when Ayton was straight up that refs didnt bite on

Brunson looks like Pinhead from Hellraiser

They aren't doing anything differently than before. Luka is passing to open guys and Brunson is trying to take people off the dribble. Literally same thing they did in regular season and throught the playoffs...

CP3 paying homage to Ben Simmons with that forced pass. Tf was that?

Who wins?
