Sprain knees don't heal that fast, although he was pretty good in Game 2. 1 game out of 4.

Here at the game. All the shirts are XL for fans to wear. Shirt doesn’t fit? No problem. You can exchange them for either 2XL or 3XL but no S,M, or L.

OKC is just too young to put up a fight vs Denver.


If Luka was 100% I wouldn't make a comment like that. But I don't think I can recall a team make the Finals where their superstar hasn't been healthy the entire playoffs and that player is shooting way worse than he normally does and his numbers are way down. That seems crazy to me. And then you got the MVP on the other team.

Dallas is a very good defensive team but Jokic is handling Minnesota the best defensive team as we speak.
I actually had Dallas beating Denver in the WCF before the playoffs started.

Luka not being healthy obviously hurts their chances. Still I think they would put up a better fight than OKC even with a hobbled Luka.


for sure, Dallas on paper has a much better chance than OKC vs the Nuggets imo but yeah, not if Luka can't be himself

He should be inspired and motivated tonight by his regionman Jokic's getting MVP award and dominating Gobert yesterday

No Giddey start? Expect a fast opening quarter from the Thunder.

Yikes you know it's bad when TNT call you out for screaming at the refs before a game. Luka needs to get that out of his system and just play ball.

Did PJ break the very first play? Looked like it

This crew is usually a little foul happy.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Even me and many other Luka/Mavs fans are getting tired of it. Just shut up and play.
