Mavs shooting 35%...if Luka was shooting at his average, what would he be like?

Poor closeout by Josh Green.

Dallas has been weak defensively on their baseline defense

Lively should never shoot a shot, it's either dunk or pass it.

Lively comes off like a leaner Varejo

Afternoon playoff games used to have so much energy. It's interesting how the NBA has strictly become a nighttime endeavor.

Kidd could've let them play through that. Not the best timeout.

Where is Green ,guard your spot on the court

I see Kidd finally knows when to call timeouts this game. Who is teaching this guy??

Mavs are 0-2 in these 3:30 pm est games this playoffs. In night games they're 5-1.

Might be 0-3 if they can't figure out how to score.

OKc is getting wide open looks all over the court. This is the worst defense I’ve seen in months

cdubbz · Post #2213 » by **cdubbz** » Sat May 11, 2024 8:33 pm

Random - OKC is due for a jersey re-brand. Their colors are a little unique with the shade of blue and orange, but it's just boring like most NBA jerseys.

Better to stop any momentum while Dallas’ offense is nonexistent. Can’t let them go up too much and now you have to claw back without your own offense going.

LUKA is CHOKING HARD... trying everything to lose these series but role players like PJ Washington are keeping these series alive.

tleikheen · Post #2216 » by **tleikheen** » Sat May 11, 2024 8:33 pm

Twice Green is seeing a step behind on the baseline for OKC shots

Refs rewarding SGA flopping.

Shame.

OKC rallies to regain the lead.

Chuck Everett · Post #2219 » by **Chuck Everett** » Sat May 11, 2024 8:34 pm

PJ Washington has really improved his reputation since the trade.

The Rainmaker · Post #2220 » by **The Rainmaker** » Sat May 11, 2024 8:35 pm

OKC was too passive on that possession. That wasn't even good defense by Dallas.

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
