I have no fucking idea why everyone was rushing to say the Gobert trade actually worked.

Let the record show I still said it was fucking stupid when they were up 2-0. 

And he’s been putrid this quarter.

Well shit. I guess I buried my boys prematurely.

I went to Game 2. Won't make that jinx mistake again

Celtics damn iso ball offense in that last few minutes is a joke...  ridiculous that they have not put this game away yet.

100-95 Boston leads    3mins left

12-2 Cavs run

It should be loud, for sure. I wish the game wasn't an 8:30 start, though.

Can't wait.

[6th Street 6355]

Yes 830p start - hopefully it's a blowout win so you can bee line to the Prius lot a few mins early and before the rush 

[Chewbacca 7729]

I like parking across the street at Auraria. Easy in, easy out.

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Fuck that State Farm commercial and the song that sounds exactly like "My country, 'Tis of Thee" at the beginning. Drives me nuts.

Poor OKC. Just another victim in a long line of NBA playoff dad dickings.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18523]

Doncic playing some really good defense tonight. Credit where credit is due. 

[Aqua Buddha 14501]

OKC's roster of 11 guards and Chet isn't exactly built for the playoffs.

[ChickenSandwich 9798]

Irving has been so so good.

Hahaha, love hearing that ball slap sound.  That's one thing the NBA does well that a lot of other sports don't, catching the in-game sounds on the broadcast. 

[LTtxfan 48962]

Offensive struggles for OKC is hard to watch

[Dutchrudder 11115]

Not often you see a guy set a screen while doing a pirouette 

[aggie08 21424]

Can't help but wonder about Billy Donovan's mind frame this time of year. Dude left OKC because they weren't on his timeline; he wanted to win, and they wanted to tank. Seemed like a reasonable decision at the time. Now, OKC is arguably the youngest, most talented, asset-rich team in the league...and he's coaching a Bulls team that even he couldn't list off 3 players.

[Kermit 3128]

I am more impressed with Luka’s game are seeing how fat that dude is without his undershirt. Have another doughnut with your fadeaway.

 

[Dutchrudder 11115]

SGA with a crazy high arc shot to tie it, and Chet with the 3 to take the lead. OKC is stepping up to this challenge while Dallas can't hit anything.  

[aggie08 21424]

How the fuck does Kyrie only have 11 shot attempts in 40 minutes?

[Kermit 3128]

Double dribble not a thing anymore?

[Dutchrudder 11115]

12 seconds left, Mavs have the ball, let's see if OKC fouls Lively again. 

[CurlyDumps 4439]

OKC impressively awful on both ends in the final minute. Step back 3 and a free dunk.

[Dutchrudder 11115]

Looked like no foul to me, but Luka gets the whistle. 

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Lol @ mavs fans whining about ref conspiracies. 

[Michael Knight 12888]

mavs are some choking ass bitches

 

[Braff Zacklin 13409]

Mavs lost this one at the free throw line.

OKC 23 of 24; Dallas 12 of 23

Luka shot 4-6 from the line. Everyone else was 50 percent or worse.

Edited May 14 by Braff Zacklin
to reflect final two attempts for OKC

[Derka 5933]

what the hell was even that pj washington?

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Let's gooo. This one probably going seven.

[aggie08 21424]

OKC shot 38% from the field, 26% from 3, were rebounded, and won on the road. Ouch.

Mavs are really going to regret this regardless of how the series ends. Had a chance to end the series early and rest, now might not win the series at all. 

[Aqua Buddha 14501]

I certainly don't watch a lot of Mavericks games but Luka is equal part great and painful to watch.  He's a great offensive player but 150% injury drama and just bitches and moans about everything.  He's fine when he makes a good play but when he doesn't, here comes the limping and injury drama.  He was even listed as questionable before tonight.  He's the basketball Brett Favre.

Also dispute him being only 25.  Looks like a pasty 35 year old.  Plating with knee guards for god's sake.

Guards built like that don't hold up well over time.  He's barely 25 years old and I can't imagine him holding up at 30 built like that.

[Dutchrudder 11115]

Josh Giddey finally being held accountable for some minor contact. 

 

 

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Luka is 6'7" and built like a bull. If he ever starts taking his conditioning seriously his game should age well. Not like he's overly reliant on athleticism. He barely leaves the ground.

his conditioning is the best it's ever been.  it's fine.  he's not tired at the end of games from lack of conditioning.  he's injured.  his issue is mental.  this is inexcusable.  all.  game.  long.

Like...wtf is he even doing here? Just atrocious. And the whines to the ref about it. He made some equally bad ones later on.

lose the ball, fine.  get it back.  except that's not what he did.  he locks eyes on the ref as soon as the ball bounces away and makes a beeline for the ref instead of trying to stop the opposing player who recovered the ball and is literally right in front of him.  he needs to grow up to unlock his boss stage.

I'll give him credit for smoking Giddey in the face with the ball, but not for the rest of it.

[Aqua Buddha 14501]

Bill Simmons said on his pod that in person, Luka is much worse with the complaining.  Says it's literally the entire game start to finish.  He'll complain about everything constantly.  I've seen it this series and wondered if he was like this all the time and I guess he is.
