2021 - 2022 Dallas Mavericks: The Vibes are Immaculate

[Pato del Muerto 52320]

Didn’t see the ejection play live but from video it looks like things went about as they should have:

luka goes for the explanation point, whiteside hard foul to stop it. Dfs/ bullock come over to defend their guy, whiteside pushes back. Playoff basketball.

It was a clean play by Whiteside. Luka had no business trying to embarrass him at that point in the game.

[conVINCEd 21468]

Luka, while nursing a lower leg injury, shouldn’t be trying to put Whiteside on a poster when we are up by 20+ points.  While I applaud the killer instinct, dunking on people really isn’t his thing, and he didn’t come close to pulling it off.  The play by Whiteside wasn’t even dirty until Luka hit the floor and Whiteside roughed him up a little bit while he was on the ground.  Be smart.

It actually looked like luka was trying to fall into him, so he finally pushed him to the side.

Whitside appears to do a little throwing motion at the end but on replay looks like it wasn't meant to be intentional and when he offered to help Luka up, Luka seemed content, but his teammate came in to stand up to Whiteside. Overreactions on both sides that was quickly sorted out. I'm just glad there weren't any suspensions.

It was late and my memory is a little fuzzy, but I  thought it was a little dirty after Luka was on the ground.  Not crazy dirty, but a little dirty.  I’ll watch a replay again when I have a couple of minutes.  Luka doesn’t need to put himself in that position with a strained calf.  He’s the best guy in the league at finding creative ways to finish in the paint without dunking on bigs.  The game was over, preserve your health and move on.

Luka is bringing the stars out.

 

[RexWilson 1341]

Teeing up the excuse for a game 6 bed shitter.

[Drew 2331]

Yeah I kind of figured it wasn't all that serious and more pride than anything. The way he was limping you'd have thought he actually pulled them.

 

Game 4 still agitates me...the Mavs should be sitting at home and resting to get the Suns/Pels winner(neither team is unbeatable, but both will be problems IMO), and they could be sitting a banged up Jalen and give Luka more time.

Also, this has a danger of going to 7. You know Utah will be playing crazy, and will get the home court Ref advantage.

It don't make a shit

I expect a lot of home cooking fuckery tonight in Utah.

Shit, Luka was gonna throw that down Shawn Kemp style!

Fuck 9pm games

I hate him a little less now. Bees are awesome

[RexWilson 1341]

Messy start to the game for both teams.

[Skipper 6088]

How could Mitchell barely walk and move this easily tonight LOL.  That was pure quit from him on Monday.

[Skipper 6088]

Make a damn shot!!

[RexWilson 1341]

We cannot make a 3.

Luckily they can't either so far.  Ugly shooting display.

[Skipper 6088]

This is the worst quarter of offensive basketball I've seen us play in a long fucking time.   Terrible.

[bluto 4872]

Good gosh that was awful. Settling for jumpers only to see ~4 of em rattle out. Shit turnovers

[LurkingHorn 1044]

Guys, going to have to hit some of these threes. That was our worst quarter of the series by far. Yikes. 

[RexWilson 1341]

I would think Utah would come out fired up, hitting shots. If that is how they start in an elimanation game at home the Mavs have to take advantage. Instead, brick city.

[Skipper 6088]

Luka needs to come out aggressive this quarter.

[bluto 4872]

Sure would like to see luka be aggressive to start the 2nd. 

[dcar00 14023]

that is a foul by House on Luka.

[Quagmire 2146]

Guess they aren’t calling fouls tonight

They are missing legit fouls and calling some nonsense.  Both ways.  Weird.

[RexWilson 1341]

If they are going to keep playing Luka tight and throwing quick doubles, gotta let JB run with the ball.

[SilasCoade 2620]

Ugly game so far. Neither team shooting well. Refs suck. Kleber and Bullock in particular have been I've cold. Bertans had one supposed skill and he's not very good at it so why is he out there

[Skipper 6088]

That whistle was 3 seconds late LOL.  These refs suck

[Etexhorn13 3032]

Kleba has got to sit if he’s not going to even attempt a shot. Had a few good defensive plays but man alive he’s been dog shit otherwise. 

[Skipper 6088]

What a disappointing first half performance.  Offense is worst I've ever seen it and defense fell apart in the 2nd.  Just piss poor.

[dcar00 14023]

well, that was horrible.  

[Vic Mackey 46919]

Holy shit Utah scored so easy the last half of that quarter. Putrid fucking finish on both ends to finish the half

[Quagmire 2146]

Alll good we crush their hopes in the 2nd

[Pato del Muerto 52320]

This is about the same halftime score as game 4 and they got back into that one and should have won it. 

[Vegas64 657]

What was that running to the wall thing with Kenny all about? I’m so old and confused.
