Playing through 2 knee injuries, left Achilles, and a back injury. Multiple hours of therapy each day. Just put 31/10/10 on their head boy in spite of all that. That boys ice cold. Put some respect on his name. Most tripple doubles in the play offs.
Even more amazing when Kawhi sits our with a inflamed knee lol. Wtf is a inflamed knee. Straight out bs. Luka has that dog in him. He wants to play and compete. Even though they're not gonna win it all. They'll beat the thunder but they won't make it past the nuggets if the nuggets win tonight which I think they will.
Thunder in 7. Shai is the true MVP. Give Shai a Kyrie and a Araon Gordon.... and see what would happen. It dosen't matter. Shai will still win. And he'll be there waiting for the.... ANTMAN in the confrence finals. Timberwolves in 7. Thunder in 7. Save the NBA. A Mavs vs Nuggets... Luka vs Joker... confrence finals would be an absloute embrassment to America... and to black ppl on mangitude of orders not even imaginable. All of that BLM/woke conscious fist waving just for two Europeans to be the best at basketball... both of whom have heritage from the same country. Cmon man... some folks ARE NEVER gonna live that down on your head. Thunders and/or the Timberwolves have to win, or the NBA/basketball as we know it... man..... Wolves in 7. Thunder in 7.
and yet skipp bayless thinks OKC will win 6 and 7, what a clown, Kyrie will make the shots at the end when its needed. Until then he'll just play defense.
@@marquettegloves9907 they didn't call nearly as many flops that's why, watch the actual games instead of just reading stat sheets and watching highlights lil bro
The one thing that was consistent all playoffs long is Dallas's defense which what wins you titles, if Luka and kyrie can get their usual scoring numbers, they will be a championship team not contenders
@@penkima4923he wasn’t or isn’t (who knows) healthy at all. Today was the first time in weeks that he looked like the Luka we know. If Luka is playing like today they are easily contenders and nuggets gotta be worried but if Luka is still injured and today was just a one off then okc will throw them out.
Same thing that happened with the suns, the media voted Booker higher in the mvp than Luka then he got outplayed and bounced in the second round, same thing happening with SGA
shai was the more VALUABLE player in this series. jdub, chet, dort, giddey, and the rest of the role players HAVEN'T shown up offensively, and defensively they haven't performed as well as they should've. ima come back to this comment when thunder win in 7......
Fantastic performance from Mavs, and finally Luka looks a bit less injured than before. What he did in this game is insane. Hats off Don Luka, you make us Slovenians very proud🇸🇮
Is my friend. He live before 25 km avay and I see play his father too Saša Doncic in Olimpija 30 years ago!! Shut the f... Up child! I know all about basket. I watch more then 35 years and bet a lot!! Dont you tell me about basket!! And this Euro my Country beat poor Srbija in group too. Dont mess Srbija Balkan with my beautiful country who is always was the best ex Jugoslavija country!!! 👊🤔🇸🇮🇸🇮🔥🔥
@@hypnotic4206 he does though and speaks fluent serb theres a reason theres no other slovenian in the NBA but loads of world class serbs They, like doncic have serb blood :D Just having a little banter Love slovenians too
@@Kurama157 most likely that is what is going be . If there was anyone to stop the nuggets it was the timber wolves , they have similar game style and size
Derek Jones jr is criminally underrated. Now that he’s improved his 3pt shot he’s a perfect role player. Defence, athleticism, spacing, length! Most underrated player in the league.
for me being an mvp doesnt mean your the best players of them, they are really close when it comes to skill but coming from the word itself "valuable" take sga out of thunder and youll get a bunch of inexperience and role players unlike when you take out luka u know the team can still pullof the win cause u have kyrie and a bunch pf good veterans and role players. beside OKC is really impresive enough that they even make top seed with that inexperience and young talents they have and thats because pf SGA being that "guy" who makes thr team better. though i think jokic deserve it even he have big shot murray, jokic make denver hard to deal with. so i wont complain him winning it over SGA.
@@kyji1569 Sandly on on off stats does not help ur narrative there. When SGA off +- dif is just 5 (ie has more balanced squad). And when Luka is of +- diferrence is over +-20(or 30 i forgot)
Mavs played exceptional. Okc did all they could in the 4th but were denied. Okc is a fun young team. Mavs are just built like a tank. Too many role players stepping up huge to help Doncic. Doncic was a complete beast in this one.
@@republikadugave420 but he isn't at luka's height, so what's your point? that's like saying "if steph cant shoot 3s he won't be as good. Which is a USELESS argument because he CAN shoot 3s. only a little man would argue with imaginative 'if' and 'would've' bruh
Great choices from Luka in most situations, who also took over when it was needed to crush Thunder hopes in q3 et q4. And what a game from D. Jones, so important.
@@chrisaustin22 Mavs had #1 defense last 20 or so games during regular season and top 5 offense. That is a championship contention ready team. Even Kenny the jet smith from TNT didn't know when Ernie told him after the game and he looked surprised. Considering his job is analyzing games you would think analytics would be his thing, but we all know how media treats Dallas.
@chrisaustin22 Despite the athletic talent, OKC lacks skill. You notice their offense is centered around drive and kick, not much in between game unless it's from FTs
“FATHER STRETCH MY HANDS” Derrick Jones Jr block on Holmgren’s 3. Most poetic thing is the fact that it was DJJ, the guy with the longest arms span and reach in the NBA, blocks one of the tallest players in the NBA. Poetic!!!! 8:38 AND THEN THE SLAM DUNK RIGHT AFTER!! This why he was always my favorite, even back in the Heat.
Mavs Vs Nuggets is gonna be 🔥 🔥 I just wish Luka was healthy. This is the most comfortable moving around he’s looked all playoffs though so hopefully he’s recovering.
Luka and Kyrie underperformed in game 4. Luka in general is undeperforming a bit, compared to his godlike regular season, also missing a crucial free throw in game 4. He now redeemed himself with a great performance, and a clutch block, as icing on the cake! I love this dude, and a former Yugoslavian duel in the Western Conference finals will be so fun to watch!
I mean, I love the contributions OKC is getting from Hayward, Biyombo and Muscala. Great signings, I'm sure the cap space they'll have next season will be worth it.
Flopping and tripping are 2 diff things He flops if theirs body contact but if you coming off a pick it will be dum to purposely trip urself over bcos you will hardly get that call and you’ll just leave a wide open defender, so I believe he didn’t trip on purpose
They’ve been blitzing and hard hedging against kyrie in the pick and roll the whole series and when he tries to go 1 on 1 they just send help and this is not even mentioning the fact they’re in the gaps on the nail in help position waiting for him to attack.
Luka is making the major plays you cant stop him, even on one foot. He is making the defense collapse by every drive he takes and the best thing is he has the ability and skill to pass pss the ball to every teammate he wants. Sga is great. Luka is a level above him and all other guards.
First of all thanks FreeDawkins for posting these superb highlights! Wow the best performance I think I've ever seen by an NBA team, the MAVS had all the answers tonight a mesmirising performance against the no 1 seeds.
Got to say that the young OKC is such a scary team. Just like KD Westbrook Harden era, there will be a champion title very soon, if they can stay together.
I had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
Leticia Zavala Perkins, a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
@@deadmansfire Agree he hasn’t been great v Mavericks. When a side wins a game on the road with the same starting 5 he has had for the season and you change your starters and you lose that comes back to the coach. Giddey will be gone next season so every body can move on. I’m sure Giddey will become a great PG considering he’s 21yo and the youngest starter for the OKC.
@@MoonIronTR as has everyone accept shai tbh but if you are going to give someone more minutes they have to be more productive and Cason and joe definitely are not
That’s a hard one. They are literally the same person in 2 different bodies. Both are the two best players in the world by a wide margin but none is better than the other. They are too alike actually.
Sm excuses. When people say Luka has been injured, y’all disregard it. I thought you guys said Thunders is the best young team and they’re cooking teams. What about Chet who’s supposed to be “rookie of the year”?
Dallas is so good and at their best when they are getting lob-dunk after lob-dunk. When they find a way to get a ton of lobs, they're usually winning comfortably. Also, watching this post-season, I don't know what made the NBA finally tighten up these foul calls, but it's so much more enjoyable to watch when guys can go up for a layup, get legitimately contested by a jumping defender making a serious effort to block it, get some body contact, and there's no foul call. It is just such a better viewing product to watch like that. If you wanna finish inside you need to earn it, period.
Mavs just seem like a much better team than OKC, even if OKC was the number 1 seed of the west, and if the Mavs played just a LITTLE BIT smarter in that previous game, it would off been 4:1 for the Mavs right now and Mavs in the WCF. Would be nice to see Luka, Kyrie and the Mavs in the WCF but we will need to wait and see.
