Hope dlive’s neck strain isn’t serious. I guess it’s good that he wasn’t wearing a neck brace, though realistically I don’t think players want to take that shot to the ego, showing up to a game that way.
I feel we do this a lot. We see less star talent and immediately jump to, that’s an easier team. Understandable. But you plan for Tyrese, ight he’s not there. Now you gotta change that gameplan to not only what tj McConnell does and niemhard does . But really you gotta adjust the whole gameplan. And it sounds cliche but a team with nothing to lose is dangerous. How many times we see a star player go out and the team actually play better? More often than is brought up
The goal for KAT needs to shift from being the best shooting big of all time to one of the best bigs of all time. Nobody cares about that title. They care about championship titles. Which is why in my opinion if we are creating the title of “best shooting big” it’s gonna be Dirk until we don’t have to do a ring check.
Lively being out was huge. I mean Luka and kyrie played bad and Ant and KAT played well and that was the biggest problem, but I think even with that if Lively plays we still win that game
D Live is the Mavs go to for short roll playmaking. Gafford isn’t the greatest at making decisions after catching the ball on the roll. Usually he goes up for a shot or gets a turnover. Sometimes he gets an assist but Lively is good a reading the back line coverage and playing off that. If they got Lively back for game 5 it’s wraps
How the hell was that one Luka prayer a foul on ant😭 he literally didn’t touch him. Also Luka doing the step through from 3 to create contact and gets rewarded for it but KAT did the same thing and got an offensive foul. Just saying they give Luka a VERYYYY favorable whistle and it’s annoying to watch
Game was clearly rigged. Scott Foster did his thing to make sure TV money keep pouring in for a couple more days. Ain't no way KAT didn't foul for 15min , he should've been out
Luka did NOT look good today bro. Despite a triple double it just seemed like something was.. off. I still think the Mavs are gunna win but I mean cmon… I haven’t seen an easier road to the finals than the Celtics this year. And before people start talking about injuries or blah blah blah.. take Tatum or Brown out of the Celtics (torn ACL or something/basically can’t play in the finals) it’s over. They don’t get past HALF the teams they faced, especially not past any western conference teams. A beaten up Mavs team has a slim chance against the C’s. Finals will be boring this year thanks to injuries (playoffs were already too)
