Looked like nerves started setting in mid 3rd quarter. Luckily Shai calmed things down a bit, but I know Dallas has another run coming.

15 points, +20 with him on the floor tonight.
Other than those 15 points he has pretty much done nothing. +/- is dependent on who he is playing with. He only has two rebounds, zero blocks. Dude is absent out there.

Forbes wrote:Mavs really just need to play more patient on offense. They been anxious all game. Can we get some poise. MUST WIN GAME. A game 7 in OKC is not good. Won’t even be able to hear the play calls.
Imagine the whistle SGA is going to get at OKC.
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

Well...I'm convinced then. It's irrefutable.

That’s exactly how Shai has me feeling. He looks unstoppable and all they have to do is stay with him and not fall for the pumpfakes after those push offs.

Young players are reliable health wise but some complain about the phyisicality of the game and you know who is doing just that.
Some get touched and get a foul called and some get mauled and there’s nothing but crickets.
When someone says, "to make a long story short", it's usually too late.

Luka could be better if he actually focused on playing basketball instead of bawling to the refs. SGA is a baller. I have never saw complain to the refs. Ever.sikma42 wrote:Soonercrazy84 wrote:I never wanna hear anyone say Luka is better than SGA

Luka is better than SGA. SGA has been a totally ineffective passer and playmaker. There is a reason that the team isn’t functioning well on offense besides him..he doesn’t put the other guys in good positions m. He is just thinking about getting his shot.

Can't keep leaving DJJ alone in the corner. He's feeling it tonight.

OKC just aggressively refusing to take the shots Dallas wants them to take, but has a really hard time creating other shots.
