[red1]

Rich people are not passionate.

yeah crowd sucks tonight tbh


got completely deflated

Ugly ugly game for Mavs.

Kidd ****ed this up with his defensive strategy.

Can't lose a rough game like this with bad strategy. Should never have left the zone when Kyrie had 5 fouls.

[Proctor]

Come on man.

Mavs blew it but you can't blow a whistle on Washington before and not a quicker one there

[90sgoat]

Mavs blew the series with this loss.

No they didn't.

Doncic hate is off the charts now. Haters gonna hate.

OKC barely scraped by with SGA balling out and Luka and Kyrie both stinking it up.

SGA = clutch assassin

[Axe]

Yikes. They had control for most of the game as far as i'm concerned.

[90sgoat]

Demoralizing loss for Mavs.

They need to shake some things up.

Maybe Kyrie needs to score more early on.

Luka needs to play the post. He draws fouls on Dort there, not on the 3 point line.

[Axe]

6-19, 7 turnovers...Now watch this shameless **** gun for the triple double.

Yep, he did.

[White Hammer]

Both teams played hard.

I still think Mavs will prevail in the series based on the totality of everything so far… but OKC’s got serious chances now. This could go either way.

Both teams played hard.

Both one couldn't shoot FTs.

Tough to call based on this game for sure.

You can see it as Thunder barely scraping by despite phenomenonal clutch play by Shai and huge stinkers by Mavs stars and free throws.

Or you can see it as OKC digging deep and finding they can keep going against very physical Mavs defense.

Tough to say. With Shai you get the impression he is not going to have a bad game, just automatic from that midrange, game after game.

Luka seemingly is just trash offensively. Kyrie had an usually bad game though. Mavs missed a bunch of free throws.

I think Mavs really need to shake things up. Luka can't be spending this much energy on defense and dealing with Dort this much. Play the zone and get Luka posting up.

SGA is known as Mr. Consistent without highs or lows, but his stats this series are actually pretty incredible. In 4 games: 32/10/7 with 1.3stls and 2.8blks(!)

Yeah surprisingly good defense.

His game is very cost effective, no wasted movement.
