Luka was super sharp the first 5 minutes & it's been rough ever since

Luka and kyrie have 17 pts combined and yet the mavs are in control of the game

I actually don’t think I’ve seen a player look more hopeless than Jalen Williams in this game. I think the vast majority of his shot attempts haven’t even hit the rim, let alone gone in.

I am really not impressed by SGA. Great player but I don’t get he is better than Kobe comments.

PJ Washington being wide-open all game, is that a defensive strategy by the Thunder?

Yeah this Dallas defensive scheme is really impressive it’s tailored to cut off the strengths of OKC’s main guys and the role players.

Doncic already gassed out - as expected. He's not used to spend that much of an energy on defense. Kidd should better give him 4-5mins of breather if he wants to win this one.

Edit: OKC coach just put Giddey in, to give Luka a breather...

No one has seen Luka play this level of bad since he’s been in the league lol what else would it be. Definitely isn’t OKCs defense

This is basicly the worst PO game of Luka's career offensively.
Is he already in decline?
Perhaps that those assuming that if he didn't get the MVP this season, he would never get it in the future were actually right.

Giddey so damn strong man lmao

Wow ok Luka…

Double edged here for Luka; he's getting frustrated but these are also the times he gets crazy and hit those wild long threes. If it's the former, OKC might have a shot. But if it's the latter (good Luka), this one is over.

Horrible dive by Doncic. Referees should be embarrassed for calling that.

Gross from Luka.

Giddey spun and bumped into him.

“Giddey good defensive effort there”

We’re officially in bizzaroworld

Luka visibly showing frustration and looking for the refs to bale out his poorplay

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
