Dorts antics are in Lukas head. He can’t focus on the game.

Yes. Their terrible rebounding is why many thought they would’ve been humiliated in rd 1 if they had a matchup against the Lakers with LeBron and AD both maybe averaging 20 rebounds a game for the series.

Luka really trying to become the next big villain of the NBA with his constant ref whining.

Dort's flopping a bit, and it's getting in Luka's head and throwing him off. Luka's trying to create contact to get Dort his 4th foul, the refs see it and aren't falling for it.

Mavs crowd got quiet from Williams' injury. If this was Philly they'd do the opposite :lol:
