Luka falls more than Niagara Falls
Can I be worried now? Cause I’m worried.
that jump ball was the most bullshit call i’ve ever seen
Luka is just Embiid with PR
😭
Horrendous rebounding. We all knew this was going to kill us one day.
I also didn’t like Shai’s heroball at the end. Tough to watch. Gotta bounce back. Losing to Luka on one leg is kinda rough no matter what, but at least Jalen seems fine.
Chet also needs some fucking help next season, there is no way around it. I see the positives of our style but the man is exhausted.
Blahhhhh
Played horrible throughout the game, where’s the Thunder basketball Mark??
officiating atrocity
We are a young team. No young team has ever run to the finals like this.
Turnovers, poor rotations, rebounding giving up second chance points, and missing open looks killed us. On to game 4.
I fucking hate PJ Washington
If I have to see Luka cry about his knee one more time lmao
We lost ourselves that game. Bad execution down the stretch and mark is to fault for some of it
That Joe turnover was heartbreaking
Just have to get the next one to take home court back.
Looking to buy an offense rebounder…
Trash refs
Dk why our offense went stone cold in the last 6 minutes
2nd straight game
Rebounding issue also
Win Monday or it’s over, I love this team, but they’re not built to win down 3-1 yet.
I won’t lie this was the most frustrated I’ve been all year lol
mark with his best darvin ham impression
Welp, time to see what the boys are really made of in Game 4.
Winnable game was up 10. Then gave up 16-0 run. That determine the game
Not blaming him for the loss, but SGA really needs to make smarter plays in the 4th. He had so many bad shots when there was no reason to take them
looked terrified as hell down the stretch
The ball apparently has magic healing powers. Luka limping and hobbling around after he doesn’t get a call, then as soon as the ball touches his hands, he’s healed!
It’s 2-1 in a 7 game series y’all are such fuckin DOOMERS it’s insane.
I think the youth and inexperience of this team has been showing this round. So many times the last couple games we get it close and then have a stupid turnover or take a bad shot. We need more composure in those moments
We have got to stop panicking and abandoning our offense. That Shai 3 at the end was a terrible shot selection
Think Dags needs to change his strategy to pushing PJ off the three point line and challenging one-knee Luka to kill us in isolation.
We have to win Monday and get back to Oklahoma tied 2-2. I won’t bitch about refs or calls or whatever. End of the day we were sloppy and it cost us.
Yeah John Goble can Goble on a bag of cocks for that jump ball call.
On our end, I’d put my house on us winning game 4. We battled through so much bullshit and came up just short. Outside of that run in the third, we didn’t get rattled all that much and I expect them to bounce back hard.
Lots of people are going to blame the refs but our offensive possessions in the 4th quarter were horrendous.
We had our chance to win the game.
I’m just glad J-Dub isn’t seriously hurt. That’s a blessing for us.
Chet in particular needs to step up and Mark needs to draw up more plays that go through him.
When he was the only big on the floor, we got 2 nice buckets out of him and then we just stopped feeding him.
WHO was it that said PJ couldn’t score 29 again… wth man
Ok, first of all, I had to watch this game on mute because of Hubie. Second of all, the series is not over, but next game is a must-win. We have capable shooters, but we wait way too long into the shot clock to shoot. We are passing up good/decent looks and just blindly drive into the paint. Ugly basketball. This must get addressed for our sake. I have seen too many playoff heartbreaks in our history, but I refuse to believe this year will be the same. We have the shooting, we have the coaching, we have a superstar. Coach needs to call out the team and not be afraid to shake things up.
This one hurts. For so many reasons. It hurts because of our own doing. It hurts because refs. It hurts because we just got outplayed and lost a game where P.J. Washington was the Mavs leading scorer. Luka is clearly hobbled, playing at maybe 75%-80%, and we’ve been clearly outplayed the last two games from start to finish. It just tells me the Mavs, on top of having more playoff experience, moxie, poise, etc. they also just have a better constructed roster. Good on them, but fuck them and fuck Luka’s incessant whining and ref riding.
Still can’t believe the refs upheld the Dort foul in the 1st and still gave Luka 3 FTs.
you are not going to win many games when your second best player shoots the ball 11 times the whole game, jdub and chet have both been ass offensively this series and you cant afford that right now
doesnt help that the rebounding has been dogshit as expected and the 3s arent falling at all.
you can blame shai for the hero ball late in the 4th but he and IJ are the only one that actually showed up
I’m fuckin sick of seeing people talk shit about Dort even when he didn’t do anything wrong
Like with that mid-air collision: everyone’s acting like it was Dort’s fault. What was he supposed to do, just let Luka have the ball?
Or when DJJ moved to hip-check Dort on a screen, sending him into Luka and everyone was acting like Dort just decided to tackle Luka for no reason
Like come the fuck on
We played like shit and it was still very close. Good time to remember we’re the youngest team to ever make the second round.
Giddey was needed in this game. Laugh all you want but the rebounding issues and horrible self imposed turnovers would’ve been different.
2 back to back losses after not-so-good performances and still only lost by 9 and 4. Sucks to be down, but this is so fucking winnable. Hoping the guys wake up a bit for the remaining games and we’re solid.
Luka is such a cringe diva
