Okay much better for the Thunder. Defensively they are challenging shots at least and offensively, they are running their offense and not just isos.

Thunder will win this game to give us a 2-2 series. We need a Game 7 these playoffs you know.

Shai’s good enough to pull this out.

Mavs are not playing well at all these last few minutes.

Getting a decent back up big man for Chet is essential.. And a more capable floor running PG than Giddey.

Presti needs to start spending from his massive war chest of assets.

Back on the Mavs, Gafford has been an absolute beast for Dallas. And what makes it funnier is that he would have been perfect for the Lakers too (exactly what they need)

Yeah Giddey will be on the move but they will also have 35 million in cap space.

Crazy to say, get Luka back on SGA before he starts to light us up. Luka was too heavy for SGA

Turns out that perimeter defense with passable shooting >>>> passable defense with great shooting in the postseason.

The reverse is true in the regular season.

And just as i say that Mavs finish the quarter great and Thunder gives away the free points. LOL

Exam having a game is bad news for OKC.

That's found money from Exum. He hasn't been scoring anything this playoffs.

Exum sighting.

No way am I letting the guy who just blocked my shot help me up

Wiggins looks better than Giddey to me.

Gafford is a player the Wizards traded away.

SGA invisible so far.

Yuri36 · Post #3136 » by **Yuri36** » Tue May 14, 2024 2:06 am

SGA is really the most similar player to MJ in the NBA at the moment.
So elastic and fluid and so hard to stop.
And his fadeaway is basically impossible to stop.

reminds me of lakers thunder 2010 or mavs thunder 2011. they just weren't ready yet then, but they'd go on to make the Finals and WCFs after getting beaten by veteran teams led by superstars.

I would be surprised if we see another Giddey minute this game, and the next. Giving the ball to SGA immediately produces better results.

What?! Naw, THJ will get mins.

If Mavericks roleplayers shoot like this from three, they're headed to the finals.

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
