that hasn't been a travel in the nba for quite some time.  they actually codified it. 

Yeah I know, but this isn't other leg step during gather or "crab dribble" it's just picking up the pivot foot obvious walk.

[RexWilson 1,348]

0-3 in game 1s this playoffs.

[Zeus 6,087]

Who BROKE THE CODE?

Kicking guys in the nuts and acting like a baby gets old quick even on your team.

Ehhhh not really.  I'm pretty sure any Warriors fan loves he's still there and contributes. 

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

Could have been a different game if the Mavs just hit their wide open 3s in the 1st half.

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

They were daring Brunson and Bullock to shoot unguarded 3s and they missed.

Brunson had no interest in shooting from deep in 2H 

[Vic Mackey 47,080]

Heh

Green still coordinates the defense and drives the offense during transition.  Yells at the rooks to get them in line.

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

Draymond is incredibly intelligent on the basketball floor and talks his ish. Not a shooter obviously but he's just so smart and a great defender.

[Drew 2,494]

Aint gonna win shooting 11-48.  Unfortunately you can't tell the Mavs to change what they're doing...they do what they do, and usually do it very well.

 

This loss doesn't bother in the slightest.  Not after witnessing the last round.   We've seen this coaching staff adjust and attack the other team very well and the players respond.

 

Anyone thinking Luka is going to be bad more than once or at most twice this series hasn't paid attention to his normal playoff trajectory.  GSW are the favorites for a reason.  Mavs just can't let this get too far away.  Win your home games and try to steal a road game.

Just need those shots to fall. We did it last round, can find a way this round. Home team usually wins game 1, that's why its best of 7, to see who'se better over time. Not happy, but not on the ledge yet.

Make this series 2-2 after 4 and then see what happens the final 3 games. I think if the Mavs win this series, it will be in 7. To win in 6 now, they'd probably have to win 3 in a row to get a 3-1 lead. I don't see this GSW losing 3 straight in the playoffs. 

Gsw is a much different animal to me than Phoenix and Utah. They are able to run you off the court even with their star players having average to subpar games. They are so deep. 

Dallas plays much different at home. That's usually when your open shots will fall. Supporting cast plays better. Even down 2-0, I won't panic anymore with this team and staff. They have shown they can adjust and figure it out and win that needed road game to tilt the series. We've closed out both series so far on the road. 

It becomes very dicey if we don't hold serve at home, though. That means we'd need an extra road game victory and that's going to be very hard.

that's what i'm saying.  the travel rule now isn't the same as the one we were raised with.  you can pick up your pivot foot.  it's not a travel until you put your pivot foot back down without releasing the ball.

This start is ideal. Good movement on defensive rotations and close outs.

[LurkingHorn 1,066]

Yep. Let’s make them play from behind for awhile. 

[RexWilson 1,348]

Sigh, wah wah.

[Fudbelty 2,788]

13-0 isn’t ideal

[RexWilson 1,348]

Luka did his part. Rest of the team is going to need to step up, especially the start of the 2nd when Luka sits.

that was an ugly stretch of bricks during GS run.

[LurkingHorn 1,066]

I get we live and die by the three, but Frank could have had two easy layups if he just would have drove instead of settling for the corner 3. 

[Fudbelty 2,788]

Did Dallas just say “fuck the bench rules” and decide to stand up all game every game?

[Zeus 6,087]

Draymond bitches and cries EVERY CALL then wonders why he gets a tech when he's done it 25 times by halfway thru the 2nd

[dcar00 14,261]

so no Tech for that outburst from GSW? 

GS goin bitch mode on refs already.  they can feel it.

[Fudbelty 2,788]

No fucking way that’s a double tech.

Usually it works, especially at home. They will flop, flail, cry, and bitch their way into the finals.

Shoves a guy down when he shoots a 3 and then walk over him after. You can't do that. Then he flops when the guy tries to get up and freaks out

WHAT A FUCKING TURD

They are gonna try to injure Luka with a undercut guarantee it.

Yeah you have to lay on the ground when a guy walks over you

IT'S THE CODE

[RexWilson 1,348]

Is Lil Wayne going to dick ride every team the Mavs go against?

[Fudbelty 2,788]

Absolutely garbage call.

[Zepol87 9,188]

Bertans didn't do shit. What a bunch of pussy shit

[Zeus 6,087]

Technical foul, player attempted to get up

[Bigbend1812 12,927]

[Fudbelty 2,788]

Really and truly that’s nothing.

Shhh he's jinxing em

There's a flop, should be a tech for flopping.

[Zepol87 9,188]

Draymond deserves 3 techs

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

refs are idiots.  btw, Bertans and Kleber are the perfect role players, cold blooded shooters. It's such a beautiful symphony these Mavs.  

[Zeus 6,087]

Gonna have a cat5 woke crybaby sesh in the crowd what a bunch of Californians

been slightly , maybe more, overrated his entire career.  The power forward has disappeared in the modern game allowing this guy to pad his resume.  Otis Thorpe would have killed this guy.

He gets away with kicking guys right in the nuts in the playoffs lol he can get away with crying and screaming at the refs and opposing bench all day long

[Bigbend1812 12,927]

[RexWilson 1,348]

Between the "foul" review and other call, Luka has gotten a decent rest.

Yeah it's pretty interesting in such a soft league the 'enforcer' is just a bum crybaby that plays dirty and flops a lot lol

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

GS was down by 55 to Memphis which indicates massive weakness, maybe not to knock them out of a title, but can be penetrated by a real team like the Mavs.  GS is not a powerhouse, beatable, GO MAVS!!! 

[Zeus 6,087]

Damn Luca is still chillin? Nice!

[Zeus 6,087]

STUFFED

[Fudbelty 2,788]

Fake tough guy. You flopped for the foul. Don’t jump up tough.

[Zeus 6,087]

Lol Mavs player isn't allowed to stand next to you? But somehow GS player can step over you and it's a tech if you get up
