Backbreaking three by Pritchard there. Mavs may not be in as big of a hole if they made their free throws. They have themselves to blame.

Their defense is non existent.

Oh he's a less athletic version of Harden but a lot more clutch. Funny thing about Harden is he started out playing defense

What a huge 3 man. I love Pritchard. We drafted him at 26th and half the guys ahead of him are already struggling to stay in the league or already out lol

3-14 from 3 in the first half, 3-16 in Q3 (even with the Pritchard dazzler).

Team +3 in the first half, +6 in Q3.

Pritchard has hit that like 3-4 times this season. Loves a half court buzzer beater

Give Luka 1 of Jrue or White and he wins this series.

Instead of Kyrie?

This Kyrie? 100%. He's doing nothing special offensively.

Not tonight, but in general the Mavs are better with him than White or Holiday.

Hardwn has never played at this level offensively in the playoffs

you guys are aware luka is playing through 2 injuries and have to carry the whole offense right. it is not like he is a good defender or something but if he puts extra effort on defense the mavs are done

Was he an alcoholic?

yeah he had DWIs in the early 90s and stopped boozing later on

https://www.nytimes.com/1994/07/14/sports/sports-people-basketball-tomjanovich-accused-of-drunken-driving.html

was no epiphany for Tomjanovich, just the realization a couple of years ago that after three decades on the road, he was drinking too much for someone who should have been happier after his successes as a player and a coach. He never called a press conference or made a big deal about it; he just stopped. He no longer looked at tape obsessively, realizing he had perfectly good assistant coaches who were willing and able to help. He stopped smoking. He started taking trips with friends and family. He literally smelled the roses.

But first, he stopped drinking.

"It means everything in the world," Tomjanovich says of his sobriety. "Not to deep too deep into that, but for me to do that, it's a spiritual program. You learn some things about life, about yourself. It's been monumental in how I handle everything.

That Pritchard three might be a morale breaker for Dallas.

Yeah, pretty big shot. Dallas was landing some blows.

DAL needs to seriously reconsider Kyrie as a second option. Dude is called the most skilled player ever. He is a 2nd option he should be averaging at least 30 ppg in this series

He might play better in Dallas like a role player LOL. He's clearly dealing with a metal block.

Cavs played harder and smarter than this Mavs team.

Mavs look soft right now. I'm seeing them give up so many offensive rebounds.

It would be closer at least.

Who wins Game 2 of the NBA Finals?
