I can't believe Luka made that. Looked like a line drive.

Seems like your issue is with your attention span. Why not go do something else than watch the game?


Im a bit ill today, decided to give it a go. But it just feels uncompelling. Wondering if people feel the same

Luka ruining the moment with his ref obsession

Dort flopping like an absolute FISH out there, meanwhile Kyrie gets mauled on an intentional foul and no call. OKC fans will continue mentioning the one push off Kyrie did this series.

OKC's bad offense is leading to transition points for the Mavs.

Hubie: “Now Luka is 100% right… that call could’ve gone either way”.

This is embarrassing.

Dort flopping losing its effectiveness
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Irving drives on Dort, fouled, no call.

Luka plow drives his shoulder into Dort, no call, makes a pass for a PJ left corner 3.

Sometimes karmic justice is that swift.
