Dude is a wrecking ball and needs to stay on his feet. They let him play super physical (which is fine) but when he falls into/onto/through people it is scary.

I’m honestly surprised the hate the thunder are getting. I don’t think they’re dirty at all

Made little sense and not just being results oriented. It killed their transition game and they are having trouble scoring in the half court in the first place.

Wishing injury on players is inappropriate, uncool and not allowed on the GB. So don't do it. -b
He was trying to get to the basket, sorry he accidentally elbowed your 300 LB baby yellow teeth Luka.

Yep I appreciate the hustle but he is all out reckless at times. Him having the body of an NFL linebacker makes it even worse.

They need to start flagranting him every time. 3 times and a row and he’ll never do it again.

Please tell me someone has a gif of Chet chasing Lively for the foul. It was like Frankenstein chasing shaggy. I can't stop laughing.

That's crazy how they allow OKC to defend Kyrie and Luka this way. Being physical is ok, but this is something else.

LOL, Dort just tried to foul Luka intentionally but refs weren't aware because they allow him to do that all game...

Lively was 12/8 and plus-16 on the game. I'd say he played well for the Mavs.

Big props to the Mavs. I will still stick to my guns as I don't think they can beat OKC but I didn't even expect them to be up 2-1 in the series. Well played, they are serious.

Props to Kyrie for trying to help Chet up though, that was cool.
