Luka is a future all time great but god his diva attitude and constant whining towards referees are really unbearable, even to his fans.

Joke calls already started in the 1st, this is way worse than regular season officiating.

Phx needs to get it together quickly or they may be having to claw their way back the whole game.

Can you stop bitching about the refs? You're as annoying as them.

Not even half way through the first quarter and it's already decided.

At this point I don't blame the refs anymore. Players are actively choosing to flop and flail over attempting to score or play defense. It's gotta be ridiculously difficult for the refs to officiate when the players aren't playing in good faith

If the nba wants us to do something else with our time and money- let the refs dictate the outcome of games...

Game 2 was worse. Tony Brothers unleashed. 54 foul calls.

I feel like he's trying to use CP3 tactics against him. He never does the rip through and suddenly did twice in two games (with no success).He's a showman and likes to get in people's head, so it doesn't surprise me that he would try to mimic CP3 while playing him.

Damn that could be a bad injury for Phoenix they don't have another strech 4. Dallas is again doing his plan really good and they are much more active at everything.

That 2v2 of Paul-Ayton with the easy basketball of Ayton is a good example where you don't have to let him play operating from the midrange. Kleber sanks down too much and let him all the space there

Basket interference on that? I'm rooting for the Mavs but LMAO this is pathetic. The whole officiating crew needs to be replaced.
