Kyrie scored 2 in closing. Kyrie then turns the ball over (double team oh my) in closing. Luka again saved kyrie's ass to close out the win. That's what Luka do
Kyrie seems protective of Luka and I love it, he knows the amount of bulls*** Luka has dealt with in this series already and is giving so much effort on defense and hitting clutch shots to boot
@@kaidzz no u WTF. 4th elbow Shai and he kicked Jones in the balls and it wasn't normal leg raise. has done and not to mention the dirty def, they doing to luka which isnt called, even Kyries left hand floater was a CLEAR FOUL and no call. OKC game 1 18 fouls game 2 18 fouls game 3 16 fouls - MAVS ALL GAMES - 22+ FOULS.
@@bombie5549 I am not a diehard fan for OKC or anything. I am from Turkey and felt sympathy for young success hungry OKC team. I feel same for T wolves and Indiana. I just wanna watch some REAL basketball now we have those old prima donnas (lebron Durant etc) out of the way lol.😅😅
SGA literally gets a foul call everytime he drives to the baskets. He got bailed out plenty of times. And he pushes off and gets away with it everytime he does his stepback
the push-offs appears as it is because of the arm bar protecting the ball. you would naturally harden the arm bar when a defender comes in contact and tries to reach in. when defender pulls back, opposing tension against the arm bar is suddenly pulled causing the involuntary extension of the arm
Both Kyrie and Luka were doing the same thing pushing off their defenders. Luka plenty of times dipping his shoulders into the defender. If this was done back in the 80's and 90's that would be called for offensive fouls. Not to mention, hooking your arm or elbow into your defender is also a no no. I kinda lost respect for Mavs fans due to the constant whining on the comments section after winning the game. Honestly, who does that. Hope Kyrie stays healthy.
SGA got fouled twice in a row by Luka last game and no call. Also got hit in the face and no call. Yet, he didn't complain. Crybaby Luka is always complaining to the refs.
Gotta keep the narrative going, Lebron is retiring, the NBA needs a new young (must be black) man as their new poster boy. Ja ruined his chance, so now it’s either SGA or Ant
FACTS! 💯 It's disgusting how they tip toe around dirty plays when it's shai doing them. Went from hero to zero, but NO ONE will bring that up, they'll be blind and keep repeating how he has been averaging 30 🤦♂️
@@vanhattfield8292 Absolutely not lol. Luka's true shooting % was 50% while Kyrie and PJ were 65% and 58% respectively, much more efficient, they also got higher +- and 3p %. Not to mention Kyrie's clutch floater which won them the game.
I think those 3 are being equally important offensively and defensively. But Luka with 15 rebounds, the playmaking and attention he brings make him the most important player on court.
Be quiet. Luka is still the MVP for the Mavs and should have won it over Joker. Miss me wit that Mavs had a worst record than okc or denver crap@@i37no4z
@@marcossantana8239 I’m a Kyrie guy. I say it how I see it. That turnover could’ve cost the game and the series. This Mavs team has special aura & luck to them
@@marcossantana8239he means more like the timing of the shot. A 3 isn’t a bad shot but if it’s 2 seconds and u down 2 and a center in the paint it’s a terrible shot. Get it? All about the timing and how it happened. Turn over within 3 points with 50 seconds
The league has a 25+ vendetta with Cuban because he isn't afraid to call them out when they blatantly fix games and try to influence series. Don't worry, as Mavs fans we're more than mentally prepared for it.
That said, I feel bad for Luka that he's getting injured and re-injured every game because of it. He might whine but he doesn't deserve to be assaulted.
@@joshhutchins6747 I'm not mavs fan but damn feel bad for Luka in three games a lot of dangerous no foul called by Dort they really trying to injured him badly
SGA throws that elbow constantly ... surprised they called that one. I guess it was way too obvious. He also pushes off a lot but that's Ok ... the elbow is not Ok.😂
@@XiJinPingeatCrap I am not an OKC fan. I used to be from Seattle so not going for either team. Almost 80% comments in this section are from Mavs fans whining.
@@blaketurner7989 That all you got? Not affected by it at all. Notba fan by either side but this is the first time I see fans still whining after winning the game. I think Mavs fans just got their feelings hurt after losing game 1 at OKC. Hope and pray Kyrie stays healthy and PJ keeps balling cause if not all over for the Mavs. Give credit to J.Kidd as a coach.
He is dirty. Just as a general basketball fan, seeing all the diving and the little cheap shot stuff that the thunder do is a disgrace. Add to that the fact that Shai depends so much on getting calls and they're just very unlikable.
SGA elbows Luka for a choke offensive foul(cant score without push offs) while Jdub pushes DJJ to an awkward landing for no reason. So this is the top seed of the west 😎
Props to PJ. He’s been great the past 2. I also like what im seeing from DLive and Green. I can’t fathom how Luka can still play with a sprained knee. I had grade 1 knee sprains multiple times on different areas of the knee and I couldn’t even walk normally with the pain and stability issues. I couldn’t push off one bit, heck i couldn’t even stand straight. Luka is still doing all these things despite the injury. Its unbelievable.
90% of SGA shots are following a shoulder to the chest or a stopped dribble followed by 3 -4 subsequent steps back. He's good, but just make him play by the rules and accept the outcome. And why when he and JWilliams8 go to the rim, are they allowed to stiff arm the shot challenger more times than not? Good win, Mavs 2 to go 🍾 💪🏻
PJ was a monster again today. If he can keep putting up numbers like this, and they can keep getting good minutes from THJ and Green, the Mavs have a chance against any team left. They have 2 of the best finishers in the game, and the team defense has really stepped up all playoffs. The West has been fun to watch up to now.
Dort was straight up kickboxing Luka at one point and Luka was getting nothing while Shai was getting quick fouls on baby-taps. Hilarious how ugly and dirty this game was.
This series is a toss up for me and just watching as an outside fan. I’ve seen SGA play enough to know he is not a dirty player - he knows he doesn’t have to play that way. Luka on the other hand is crafty and I’ve seen him do it a few times now, where he sticks his head where the attacking player’s hand or elbow is about to go with the intention of forcing a foul call. It’s a risky move but I guess it shows just how much he wants to win. This play is a good example of it as SGA’s motion was a natural basketball play - his right elbow has to go up when approaching from that angle - Luka knew that and still kept his head there - hopefully he’s okay as both players are fun to watch.
@@modernwonders9896finally somebody with common sense😂. Its like these dudes never played basketball in real life nor watch any mavs and thunder games before this. I don't get why shai gets so much hate, I guess that shows how great he is getting
That was a Hard Foul on SGA ... 😱 Doncic Used His Chin to Almost Take SGA Out of The Series ... His Elbow Hurt Sooo much he was ALMOST STRETCHERED OFF The Court !!! 🤔
this got to be a flagrant foul, he extended his arm to lukas face LOL they didnt even REVIEW IT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME HE HAS ELBOWED A MAVS PLAYER and he even kicked Jones in the balls not to mention all the dirty plays Dork did on Luka
This left handed layup under pressure in clutch moment is a mark of top tiers players. This is what divide good from legendary finishers. Kyrie is phenomenal
That was very good defence on irvin the defender mistake was going for the hip check instead of staying infront of him that gave Irvin the opportunity to drive basketball is like Chess lol
Man this dallas is something special this playoffs. I am a lakers fan but if the dallas can make it to the wcf and face denver or wolves, they have a chance to go to the finals but we'll see.
Luka play like a champ Luka is hurt playing like that you people got to understand that so others player got to step up to help Luka that what they doing and that why Ervin came to Dallas and rool player stepping up
Man, SGA is so ugly to watch. A foul merchant. Can't shoot, doesn't pass, not athletic. He's worse than Russ. At least Russ was athletic. My mind can't let me accept who would pick him over Luka. There's a HUGE talent gap between those two. The only exciting player from OKC was Chet. Boy has talent.
