SGA getting that golden whistle there. That was a weak call.

Not sure what Giddey has to do to get minutes.

9/3/2 on 4/7 from the field in 11 mins. Team playing well with him on. Gets benched straight after hitting a shot

Presti is outstanding at drafting talent in the draft. I dont know why successful, rich franchises like the Bulls or Lakers dont offer him a godfather offer to lure him across ?

Presti has been with the Sonics/Thunder for 17 years. Do you think he would have that kind of job security elsewhere after what happened with KD/Westbrook/Harden? I'm not sure.

Doncic is shooting a lot better tonight than Game 4

Shai has to play the whole second half

SGA gets nonsense calls, he drives into defenders and gets rewarded

OKC box score is looking rough. SGA the only player in double figures after 3 quarters. Dude needs help

CelticSooner · Post #4528 » by **CelticSooner** » Thu May 16, 2024 3:13 am

Feels like this series has more to do with OKC then Dallas. OKC's offense looks nothing like it did in the regular season. They aren't getting the clean looks and they have no paint presence whatsoever. I feel like I'm watching SGA and a bunch of dudes out there.

Undersized tweeters like him get exposed in playoff environment against good teams. He’s a 6’4 SF, that’s not cutting it.

Dallas has a little more energy this game. Give me a little more confidence. Last game I just knew we were gonna lose.

Refs doing their job here... Jesus, completely different criteria for either team.

okc is all drive and kick its an offense thats very easy to guard.

ChipotleWest · Post #4534 » by **ChipotleWest** » Thu May 16, 2024 3:14 am

OKC had 65 through 3 quarters in Game 4, 67 through 3 quarters tonight. But...

OKC is still a year or two away from truly contending, it feels like.

Cannot believe we’re still getting crying about the refs

Mavericks 2 FTs in 3 quarters…

yea its bad call by the coach.

A questionable moving screen on Lively and a weak 2+1 for SGA could have switched the momentum. Kyrie will bring a strong 4th quarter

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
