On that first one off the opening tip it looked like when Luka tried to get the ball to bring it up, PJ waved him off and banished him to the corner.

Well we all know this is PJ's team.

Where has this Luka been.

Too early but Luka is stepping up and SGA is missing.

OKC wearing the Warriors throwbacks in the playoffs confuses my brain.

What is hardy doing in the game?

Luka is the James Harden of LeBron James

Doncic finally found his aggressive self

Giddey checks in. Not good for OKC

Jaden Hardy rewarding Kidd having confidence in him.

Is that Jaden Hardy? Took Exum's spot? Whoa

Amazing how much better you play when you're not focused on the refs.

I just don't see either of these teams beating Denver. If its Wolves, could go 7.

He's only on a 1 year deal, hope he doesn't leave. But he said he wants to be in Dallas but will talk to other teams. If they offer him like 10-12 million+ per year Dallas probably can't match it.

DJJ went to Dallas to get a showcase for a long term deal. We loved him in Chicago but Billy was playing him at PF and back up C. It wasn't doing him any favors.

Really nice to see him shine w/ Dallas but I think someone pays him this offseason. He is a great utility player.

Giving up way too many offensive rebounds.

Giddey plays with no intensity

He said something to Luka when he waved him off. "I'm the captain now" probably

I thought he was the LeBron James of James Hardens

DJJ jumps high.

Can somebody on Dallas stick to their man and box out? Like seriously this is pathetic.

ChipotleWest · Post #4300 » by **ChipotleWest** » Thu May 16, 2024 1:56 am

Seems like just luck for OKC that some of their missed shots bounce right where they can get it and Mavs can't. Nothing you can do. Same thing in Game 4.

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
