Wild premeire time 😅. Us night shift workers salute you
so pumped for the game we need this one
the Dorturechamber isn’t big enough for Luka. But how often will Dirty Dort want to pull Luka down to the floor or trip him?
Unless Mavs shoot 50% from 3pt again I actual really like OKC’s chances🐕⚡️
Something I gotta get off my chest if Chet is gonna continue to bring the ball up he needs to tighten up his handle cause he gets ripped way to easily all of his turnovers was just him getting picked by Kyrie or Luka
Mavs in 5! 🔵⚪️🐴 stole home court
OKC is too young and inexperienced. This is not regular season. No playoff experience. You can’t beat an injured, limping, bleeding Luka and worst game of Kyrie career. OKC will not win a game in Dallas. This series is over in 5 Mavs win 4-1.
Dork is fouling luka all the time minus the tech or flagrant foul on the 3 game 1 the refs didn't call just play basketball and stop trying to hurt the best player in basketball right now if we were doing that to SGA yall wouldn't like it wouldn't be suprised if the put Morris in the game just to take out dork or SGA and see how the OKC fans like the retaliation on intentionally trying to hurt a player wouldn't be right would it 🤔
GO MAVS !
Dallas winning both at home see yall next Wednesday or Thursday for the tough close out game 🎮
Thunder up! ⚡
OKC needs game 3 or it's over in 6
I hope that Josh Giddey does not sign a new contract with OKC – he has been mismanaged and blamed for everything. Will be a top 10 PG at many teams (where his rebounding and passing are respected as well as his respectable shooting)
MAVS IN 6. The adjustments the Mavs have been making ever since the trade deadline are the reasons why we went on that incredible winning streak, why we beat the clippers, and why we will eventually beat the thunder. The Mavs are more experience and it’s just not the thunders time.
Please tell GIDDY to stop screaming in the locker room during Luka’s interviews 🙏😂🍆
Mavs in 5 I can’t stand this team they want hurt Luka knee
Dort got torched
It was a bad game from chet and j dub because of mavs defense.
Shai had a couple lapses on defense? Nah bro he was a liability. Awful defense all game.
"Cant shoot 38% from 3 again"
Weird take, thats literally their average from the regular season and they had the highest % of any team… you should expect them to shoot 38%
UP UP MAVS BABY LETS GOO! MAVS IN 5
Go Mavs!!!!
awww Rylan got a bunch of new devoted fans bitching in his mentions.
Wish there was another day between those games. These boys didn't even get 48 hours between PLAYOFF games. NBA wild for this.
Look, the roaches i mean Mavs fans are here🙄😂
It seems as if since Dub was injured in April that he’s more often had “off” games.
Which OKC role player(s) shrink in front of a hostile road playoff game??? Giddy doesn't count, he's already a shell of a player.
Holmgren?
J Dub?
J Will?
Lu Dort?
Wallace?
Wiggins?
Joe?
I don’t get why Thunder fans keep talking about Dallas’s shooting like the Thunder didn’t play really good too. They had a bad 5 min stretch in the 4th, that’s it. They have to duplicate there performance as well
This game is critical for both teams, should be very interesting! Mavs in 5
Dort plays physical defense and that’s being dirty now I guess. Cry more
Good luck boys. This should be a good one!
Luka is your daddy
That #5 player is low key dirty player.
How low will Mavs fans be when the Thunder knock em out of the playoffs, then with us owning their 28' 1st rd pick. By then, we'll have a chip or two. Kyrie will be years gone doing podcasts wearing a yamaka, talking about the Black Hebrews & the flat Earth. Luka demanded to be traded a year ago. Now we also own your 1st rd Top 5 overall pick. That's like us stealing your woman, the love of your life. Then you sending out alimony checks, which I'm using to build out my man cave.
There is a real world where an assertive Josh Giddey making shots and being on the ball to take some pressure off Shai and Dub being on the ball ALL the time is their best version offensively. If he is good offensively he is adequate defensively. Mark will not abandon this today.
