Man if Luka was healthy... Mavs would be scary.

The thunder super deserve to lose. Not because of what happened on the court. But because they’re a bunch of **** bitches.

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...



It’s crazy and people try to justify it. It is what is Mavs up 2-1

DAL deserved that win. OKC is a really dumb team.

Finally some 4th quarter Magic from Kyrie. What a bucket down the stretch to put them up 5 with the left.

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.

Yeah I cringe every time I see him on the court. He legit belongs in the NFL.

Dude is Myles Garrett playing basketball. :lol:

Lukas that guy. Dumb risking career health but I commend him for being a sacrificial and dominant player in this time.
