They are trying to mimic the Cavs MOJO black unis in winning their finals Lol

The crazy part is he's getting fouled and still making the shots lol


Refs trying their best to ice KP out of this game. He's BBQ chicken these defenders.

KP just shooting over smaller guys...I know he isn't going to shoot 100%, but they are basically open jumpers.

The Wizards couldn't use Porzingis or Gafford.

Nope.

Mavs body language looks like poo.

Offense flow is atrocious.

Yeah they're gonna have to send a double at this point. No margin for error. This is about to become a blowout.

Porzingis basically swinging the series and ending this game early. No answer for him. No matchup.

Hey Dallas, maybe not always have your smaller guy on KP would be a good idea.

The Mavs role players have been atrocious.

Also, I think they should the rule about fouls on alley-hoops. I’m not sure how KP’s foul on Lively shouldn’t be a shooting foul. Lively had the ball in his hands and KP was pushing him away.

He just tried and couldn't. Tatum is not that quick.

Didn't Dallas have at one time Luka, Brunson and Porzingis? Why didn't that work?

Good lord...I remember arguing that KP would be an amazing get with some fellow Heat fans when I wanted them to go for him. Just an absolute matchup nightmare! Imagine him and Bam PF/C combo.
