that's why I said DAL should've gotten a bigger lead. It was right there while GS was effing up

cause DAL effed up didn't extend the lead

they had poole and JTA messing up
Klay bricking everything
curry coming back in and TOs
Green playing dumb

and got a 9 point lead out of it

Jesus Curry, wtf.

If GSW could play like this more often and not do dumb basketball, they'd stroll to the championship.

But right before this, I watched a good 5 minutes of dumb, dumb basketball lmao

Mavs lost a 9 pt lead in less than 2 minutes. They need to slow it down as they're playing at the Warriors' pace.

smart by Luka.
Attack the hard show.

If they had done that in game 2, DAL could've won.

Instead Kidd and Luka effed up and Iso'd Looney and lost their lead 🤣🤣

Look where you're running

Curry always runs near people on the sideline without looking,
or backs into them after shooting


onus is on you to protect you, NBA has had small sidelines for decades (I think fans and media/cameramen shouldn't be close but I don't own the NBA)

Draymond got the shit slapped out of him on his dunk, and the ref was nice enough to let draymond yell "and 1!" at him because he knew it lmao

sticking with if Klay shows up, GS wins.

if he doesn't they lose.
regardless of Donkey, Curry, etc.
It'll be a Klay close or a L

How much better can the Mavs offense get in an off season?

Like, how much more can you improve a basic drive and kick offense?

The only reason why this works is because Luka is a generational talent, but I wonder if there is a hard ceiling for this kind of offense.

Lebron was always surrounded by shooters, but was his team's offense as basic as this?

They put people so close to the court that I'm surprised that kind of stuff doesn't happen more often.

Yeah it probably was, but the difference is Lebron is a generational athlete in a way that Luka isn't.

Broken record time: Play Kuminga if Porter is going to be out, the Mavs have no one in the frontcourt that he's not 10x more athletic than.

If you noticed both in the Nuggets and Grizz series Poole played well the first 2-3 games and then fell off both series.

Poole and Porter were huge last game so not entirely accurate. Porter seems out and Poole is playing like he's back in the G league

We'll see how he finishes but I 100% expected poole to be off this game..Just felt due.
(I actually expected wiggins to be off too, so I'm glad to wrong about that.)

so that's why I said it should be a klay game.
Curry will get his but won't drop 45+ or do a solo carry. Poole might be off. And imo Random guys like moody or draymond (or porter jr now) won't make 3s this pressure game on the road.

Has to be a Klay flurry.

A young quick and athletic PG/wing that can take some of the playmaking pressure off Luka.

Mavs would love a player like Jordan Poole.
