Congrats Mavs well deserved!

Awesome fight by the Thunder, their future is bright. It's scary to think they can basically add anyone they want this summer to their current lineup. I say they should go hard for Markannen. He'll open up that offense even more.

Congratulations Mavericks.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

What a way to lose the series.. OOF

I hate the refs deciding a game but SGA didn't give them a choice. Just a horrible foul.

Shai needs help. Presti needs to make some serious moves this off-season

I feel bad for Sga. He was the best player in the series by far but his teammates let him down.

Damn, tough way to end a hell of a series.

OKC is here for a long time regardless.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Man, Luka got bailed out there.

CONGRATULATIONS, MAV NATION!

Hang in there, OKC fans; y'all have years of dominance ahead of you. I'm sorry for the heartbreaker tonight, though.

Sucks if you’re OKC but they are so insanely young with a ridiculous amount of assets. Experiencing this will be good for them.

Luka vs Jokic or Luka vs Ant, the NBA can't lose in the WCF. Unfortunately the ECF will be a complete dud.

You're the one dismissing a team as nothing when they’ve won 6 playoff games and have shown more than enough that they belong lol. No one expected them to win a championship in their first year in the playoffs together...

They have a bright future but this Thunder team is lucky they had favorable matchup in rd 1. A team like Lakers would’ve send them home in 4 or 5 imo due to the massive rebounding advantage.

Why do you need to win pretty? :lol:

SGA fouled him, but of course he thought he would get a block, it is what it is.

Great game though

Loved the intentional miss. So smart. Big props to Washington for hitting the first 2. Huge shots.
