Thunder erasing that lead quickly!

Kidd actually using his timeouts well. Looking like a veteran coach all of a sudden!

Yep. Refs don't give Mavericks any FTs but whistle everything on OKC, especially SGA.

But Mavericks are too good, even refs can't bail out OKC :lol: :lol: :lol:


There are only 11 FTA in the entire game for both teams. It hasn't been a foul fest.

Mavs need to get focused again. They are all over the place on Defense everytime they get a large lead.

They always let up off the gas.

He listened! I don't know why he was trying to bait that last one. He had a good look and decided to fall down. This time he just goes straight up and it is all net.

Hardaway Jr. makes 18 millions a year, I know other players make more but damn what a waste of damn money.

The game has largely consisted of both teams bricking open threes

It's shocking how easily the Mavs blow big leads. That just doesn't happen at this regularity to any other great team.
