Luka is getting trapped and pass leads to Hardaway chucking up shots all while Kyrie is sitting in the corner.

I didn't catch halftime, but he was pretty confident about OKC smashing the Mavs in pregame.

Okay you’re right man. That explains everything.

What do you want me to say to that?

I just don’t know why you’re surprised.

It’s not shocking to me that a 23 year old in his second season is struggling in his first playoffs.

The playoffs constantly do it to talented young players.


He looked like kawhi during the regular season though…just seems like his decline has been very steep

7 game series with the opposition coaching focusing on how best to exploit your weaknesses can really make things hard.

Different to the regular season where the main focus is probably on stopping SGA.

I really like him as a player but he’s still very young and raw.

Throw it to Jokic to settle the team down!

Kyrie keeps looking for the pass for some reason. Dude has turned down quite a few open looks.
