Doncic is in circus mood

Best half Luka has played this series.

Every OKC possession seems like a struggle to get buckets. Lively and Gafford in the paint with Jones maneuvering around, they are going to need to spread the floor more.

My prediction is a Dallas series win but i want a game 7 too, this OKC team's immaturity or lack of talent when there is a defensive game plan is just showing again.

Very similar to Game 4, they are just asking SGA to save them again and i doubt Kidd lets that happen again.

Luka James is taking over

Luka moves much better...we'll see how long he lasts, I hope Kidd rotates him a little more during the game

SGA needs help.

They probably about to cash out those picks for a vet this off-season.

Make the Suns a offer they can't refuse for KD.

Luka absolutely brilliant so far

Why is Kelenna Azubuike on the sidelines calling the game? Did he quit GSW? Or side gig?

I love this generation of ball, but I'm actually exvited to see the guys who were kids growing up watching Luka and Jokic :lol:

the passing in 5-10 yers is going to be on another level, these guys make sharing the ball look so cool

Luke is sublime with his passing

IDK, for Warriors KD I'd do it but achilles heel Durant is 35. I could see that being a failure. Remember Durant only won rings in GS where they were already a championship team he's never lifted a team to a championship.

You'd have to give Phoenix good players too not just picks.

These dudes are all super young tho. We could have a 2012 thunder situation

Thunder ice cold right now

Chuck Everett · Post #4356 » by **Chuck Everett** » Thu May 16, 2024 2:14 am

Kidd is coaching a defensive masterpiece in this series. The Mavs have never played this level of defense in the Luka era.

Durant at his age ain't helping the Thunder

I've been a Mavs fan since the late 80's when I was a small kid, they've never played defense like this except the championship team.

OKC needs to trade everyone besides Chet, SGA and Dort
This roster is a great regular season team but it's terrible in the Playoffs. They have too many KCP's instead of having that 3rd star to help match talent vs Mavs/Denver

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
