Those look like concussion symptoms based on Lively's reaction

I'll be super glad when Dallas wins tonight so we don't have to put up with the insufferable Minny fans making excuses for dirty play.

Once is a clumsy move.
Twice is suspicious.
Three times is just low.

He was going for the block, how was he supposed to know Lively was going to fake it and go under him?

Anyone who doesn't think that's a dirty play has no idea.

The only reason they're saying that is because of the injury in Game 3. It would be 100% a common foul without that.
