  1. If that’s a foul Dort commits 20 a game.
  2. Dort getting away with constant hacking and still getting cooked by Luka is very amusing.
  3. I agree. I also think we start fast with a young OKC team struggling to get up after a big win.
  4. We got bad Green and Hardaway tonight and it showed. The same guys who kept things going when Luka/Kyrie needed rest or couldn’t on Saturday were dogshit tonight and it showed. If they turn in this performance on Saturday we probably would have lost that one too.
  5. If Luka and Kyrie can get remotely warm at same time this is going to get ugly quick.
  6. Yeah, I think that two things can and probably are true: Luka does complain quite a bit and he also takes a lot of contact that doesn't always result in FTs.
  7. The fact that Scott Foster skated by after his connections to TD were exposed without a legitimate inquiry should tell you all that you need to know about how Stern felt about this stuff. While there hasn't been anything concrete, when there is enough smoke around this stuff generally there is some element of truth. I find it very hard to believe TD was the only official gambling during that time period. Scott Foster-Tim Donaghy links
  8. It put Mavs into bonus with six minutes to go and they were lucky that Dallas didn’t take further advantage of that. It also completely took away the ability OKC has to create turnovers and score/get to line in transition which is a huge weapon. I would be pretty surprised if we see it again.
  9. I can’t think of the last time a #1 seed was so desperate in a game 3 to resort to the hacking strategy. This feels like a newer coach getting desperate.
  10. Interesting strategy to willingly get torched by PJ to cheat off on Kyrie who is happy to make the wide open pass all night.
  11. I know what the numbers say and I think he’s a good defender. I just don’t think if you took him off that team he would have the same impact like you would see with Holiday. OKC has a unique defensive scheme that emphasizes his combo of size and aggressiveness.
  12. I watched a good bit of OKC this year and I still don’t get all the Dort hype. He benefits so much from that system of random blitzing and double teams with Chet playing safety.
  13. Have never been happier to be dead wrong.
  14. Pretty lucky to get out of that sequence still up 9.
  15. Maybe one day Chet will get called for a foul
  16. Would be nice to see an effort made to get Kyrie into a rhythm out of timeout. (Does Kidd know that plays out of timeouts work for other teams?) Not sure how sustainable role players going nuts is at this pace of play.
  17. Playing PJ with a third guard who isn’t afraid to fire from three has been huge. Gotta imagine we’ll see more of that when Timmy is on floor vs just using him as a Kyrie sub.
  18. I am not sure how anyone in NBA offices can justify Tony Brothers getting Mavs games of any importance after the Dinwiddie BS. That being said, won’t matter who is calling games if Luka isn’t in good enough health to even pretend to play D.
  19. Vintage Kyrie in the fourth and a few stops and this could get fun.
  20. Zero shot in this series if breathing in the paint is a foul.
  21. Elimination game Kyrie is absolutely as good as advertised.
  22. If that’s a foul Terrance Mann commits 15 a game.
  23. If Harden isn’t hitting that floater this is going to be a long night for Clippers. Solid perimeter defense outside of PJ not rotating on PG once.
