2024 Western Conference Finals: Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves

[Dallas41]

Luka yelling at gafford

Yet he's allowed like 3 or 4 open shots on defense alone and mo one has yelled at Luka

[EricaLubarsky]

OFfense looks good other than the threes (14%)
Rebounds are good (+2)

It's just the defense and in the NBA if teams can hit threes, there is nothing you can do

[Melonhead]

Cool just keep leaving the hot guy open Luka

[Melonhead]

Sorry we?re in the WCF. I don?t need to see Exum anymore

[BPo001]

Guess Dallas isn?t going to get the same soft foul calls Minn is

[EricaLubarsky]

defense has to be better. Offense is there. Rebounds are there. Just gotta stop sucking at defense.

I don?t mind him leaving Kyle Anderson open for 3.

[BPo001]

Lazy Luka

It's ridiculous.

The national media is all whining about it too-- one game or even one quarter can be called completely different from the last. It's nuts.

Add to that that Minny is "just physical. Boys will be boys: but Mavs breathe on a guy and its a foul and its making me hate watching the NBA.

[ShaggyDirk]

Good news is we?re playing like idiots but still in the game.

[EricaLubarsky]

Kidd apparently didnt get the scouting report on McDaniels.

5-5 and 4-4 from three

Averages 10ppg. Has 14 in the first 15min

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs have officially gone full r-tard

On pace for 20turnovers

I thought FOR SURE Luka wouldn?t be guarding him. Dude was 15-20 in game 6 and 7 vs nuggets.

[BPo001]

Damn Lively get out of the paint. How many is that this season?

[EricaLubarsky]

22% from three
5TOs
7-2 FTA advantage for them
allowing 52% and 47% from three

but +1 rebounding

[Melonhead]

Like clockwork get lively for 3 seconds

[EricaLubarsky]

This could be just a bell-to-bell loss like we saw in game 1 of Clips.

[EricaLubarsky]

The way we are going we're going to need Kyrie to score 48

[EricaLubarsky]

Knock on wood, but I was expecting way more from their defense. It's been Hawks-ish so far.

What I didn't expect was to be playing the Splash Bros Warriors on offense.

[EricaLubarsky]

yeah no one can beat them if they shoot 45% from three

[Melonhead]

Luka you are embarrassing as fuck

[BPo001]

Maybe instead of just throwing your hands up Luka you get your ass down there and battle for that rebound.

[BPo001]

Lazy fucking rebounding

[BPo001]

I heart Kyrie

[Melonhead]

Love what Kyrie has done. Defend the 3 and rebound a bit better to have a chance

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Kyrie is great, but what the hell happend to our defense.

Yea. It would be silly not to go make big money once you have won a ring if a considerable difference is offered. IMO, the biggest determining factor for him to take a little less to stay here would be chemistry, fit and contending. Lots of players take less to chase a ring, but most of them can afford to do so.

[Melonhead]

Luka looks so bad out there. That injury is definitely hurting again not moving well

[Melonhead]

Ball movementtttt

[Melonhead]

Luka come on man just go straight up and stop trying to foul bait

[Melonhead]

There you go just like that

[Melonhead]

Idk why we?re using our second challenge in such a close game

[BPo001]

I?ve missed a bit. So we used both challenges? Did we win both?

[BPo001]

C?mon green.

[Melonhead]

Josh green on a fast break ends about how you would expect

[Melonhead]

Won both but it was just to challenge who it was out on. And the second one refs didn?t see so they called a jump ball. The correct challenge didn?t help

[Melonhead]

Luka just go up dude

[BPo001]

It really sucks that you?re almost penalized for not having more challenges when you win. Refs make the right call to begin with and you won?t be in this situation.

[Melonhead]

Again it?s the WCF, I don?t need to see THJ anymore.
