when they run double teams at him he has to go earlier so there's time to pass it
can't wait until under 7 seconds to get it started

Luka has had a real issue with tunnel vision and hero ball in the clutch. When it works, it's magical. When he goes 0-4 it almost cost us a second game.

Man they dodged a bullet because Luka was taking some bad shots late in this game
Brunson was the guy who had the mismatches and the Mavs have to find away to for him get some of play calls down the stretch more

Start the countdown on the Jazz implosion.
In the tax this year and again next year.
lots of first-round exits. Coaches can't stop from cheating. Mitchell and Gobert hate each other.

oh it's happening... i wonder who they'll keep and who they'll trade
they don't really have young talent to build on other than mitchell but i think it's clear he's not a batman type player. maybe a robin, but he's been exposed on D also.

Props to Spence for playing his most efficient game of the series (outside of not switching that last possession early enough)

So happy for the Mavs and Luka. After running into Kawhi two years in a row, gets the Jazz and the team puts them away in 6…and could’ve done it in 5

Team has to come up with some wrinkles especially late. Phoenix will run you out the building if you try nothing but isos

The Mavs never got into a flow (I'm thinking the refs had a major role in that) but the Jazz just wanted to lose on their home court. I guess they didn't want to fly back to Dallas just to lose here

Yeah because they had 0 chance in a game 7. Kinda sad we don't get another game as it would be Saturday, but obviously, glad the series is over.
Brunson gets MVP this series, hands down.
In fact, all three of Dinwiddie, Luka, and Brunson played pretty well this game as a trio. We really haven't seen that much. We need that to beat Phx.

yeah and run the damn offense faster - you know the doubles will come so make sure you have enough time to pass it around if needed.
hopefully Brunson has more up his sleeve especially against his old teammate Bridges... Mikal is a tough defender. And the Suns bigs either Ayton or Mcgee will punish us - no small ball for them. tough matchup for us honestly...

Huge series win but man the refs wanted the lg to have game 7
Kidd was outstanding in this series with adjustments.
His one mistake was not resting LUKA to start 4q.
Luka was gassed the offense got stagnant
Entire team shot like shit from 3 this game but got win.
Suns will be difficult but winning this series was huge for fan base and organization the monkey off their back and playing now with house money

Weird fact.
In the first quarter and the last three minutes of the fourth, the Mavs were 0-13 on threes i
Outside that time, Mavs shot 57% on threes
It’s also not a rare event. It’s a trend

Bojan Bogdanović (Utah) is a Croatian basketball player.
Bogdan Bogdanović (Atlanta) is a Serbian basketball player.
Both are from the Balkans (not the Baltics).

Yea. I think Luka should have rested at thr 9 minute mark. He couldn't hustle and was a cpl steps slow. But he got the job done.
Congrats everyone.we moved on!

105.3 just said Mitchell didn’t take a shot in the final 6 min. I guess I didn’t realize it in real time. Does he find his way to NY this summer?

He at least had a decent game compare to the last two stinkers, and DFS didn't make his life easy. And he was playing injured.
Problem is that they've run out of passes. Series over.

Yeah Luka was clearly gassed. I was wondering if Kidd was going to try to buy him a couple minutes but I guess he decided to roll with it. I think he took one timeout to buy Luka a breather. They ran a gorgeous play and got a DFS corner 3 off of it if I’m remembering right.

This is why you don't hold Luka out any longer than you have to with his calf injury. Getting into game shape for someone that isn't exactly known for his conditioning is paramount. A lot of fans were wanting to keep him out for the entire series.
Hopefully his calf will be 100% by Monday.

Wow, Gobert didn't have a block in the final three games of the series. I've always thought shot blocking was overrated as there just aren't enough of them to make an overall impact. I know his size messed with some of our lineups, but there is no way you can justify giving him a max deal to play for you.

He’s definitely lacking some explosion and lift. As you said, hopefully he’ll be back closer to 100% with this 3 day rest. Was huge that we closed that out last night.
