That was clear foul on KAT, the meatball.

Never seems to prevent them from staying competitive. They are just a well rounded team.

No dog in the fight but you don't foul out an all-star on something like that. Ref had a perfect view of it too. Wow.

KAT complains like a WNBA player

Do not compare someone to a woman like it's an insult.

Mavs have no room for error.

They can't beat Boston 4 out of 7.


Lively's out, Luka and Kyrie's worst shooting games...

Doesn't mean they couldn't win 4 out of 7.

I think it was out of context. Like that is his regular routine, not saying he’s doing it now, but people don’t believe it because he sucks now.

I am 95% sure that is supposed to be an offensive foul. Even if the defender is moving forward, you can't make an unnatural shooting motion to jump into the defensive player.

backing into the defender to draw a foul was also not allowed....but then they started calling it again

Mavs should have attacked KAT and Gobert earlier with the both on 5 fouls
