Mavs to show better poise here. Use all of the 24 and don’t give the Thunder too many possesions late.

Wallace is a liability on offense right now.

Luka outweighs him by like 80 lbs dude and he was off balance already.

There was a foul there (Luka extended his forearm) but that was a pretty egregious flop. Dude's knees crumpled as soon as he bumped into Luka.

I know none of y'all care, but it's late here and I had to tell someone. Ha ha


Glad you found them!! Did they come home on their own?

You missed 30 open threes, but you still gotta shoot them. You can't save them for later

So scrub teams can be a training ground, that’s noted.

Lol same thoughts. Always wondered if there are losing players vs losing teams/orgs. I guess it’s not on the players because lots of these dudes from bad teams can contribute to winning ball if given the right opportunity. Like PJ, Gafford

Whatever Kidd is doing, it’s working this series and last. Just impressive team defense and scheme.

Why can't Lively grab rebounds and not play volleyball with them in which most end up in OKC's hands?
