JJ and Doris Burke don't match too well.

That crazy Porzingis run where the Mavs tried to play fast is still the difference in the game.

You tell me he's our best American player? Nah don't disrespect my country like that. We have much better talent.

This. Just imagine a prime AD with this roster.

This Luka injury milking is one of the most pathetic things ive seen in years in the playoffs. We get it hes hurt but hes clearly in great enough shape to still play at a high level. He winces like hes about to have a stroke every quarter its so **** annoying he just had 20pts in a quarter in basically a 3 quarter game a week ago and has had a week off

He's gonna cook in game 2 and we will discuss nothing about his injuries.


That was my reaction as well. Almost feels like, if you're a Dallas fan, to just lose this by 50, as that gives more chance for a nuclear Luka (or Kyrie) in Game 2.

Nah this adds to his self-doubt. When he starts playing mindgames with himself he's not at his best.

Brown lifted his pivot foot and didn't bother driibling first. Refs don't bother calling it either.

The Luka injury excuses everything bad Luka does. He had a week off. That's an all-star break of time off.

Lively's at least settling down in this quarter, fouls be damned.

This is what I was afraid of. Boston’s tendency to just take their foot off the pedal for no reason.

People don’t realize they’re completely loading up on Tatum. Weak side 3 is wide open. He just needs to make that last pass better

Luka should just pull a PP and shytt himself to get wheeled out of this game and rest his knee.
