    MAKE YOUR FUCKING FREE THROWS LOL

    SGA full on carry job. Salute

  2. JayQuips

    Cuban and Kidd boutta lock the entire Mavs team in the arena until they each make a pair of free throws

  3. homefree122

    I was 100% convinced the Mavs had this game won going into the fourth quarter. I cannot believe we pulled this out.

  5. EutaxySpy

    Mavs CTE game. Also, missing 10+ FT’s in a playoff game is just unacceptable especially in such a close loss

  6. Palifaith

    Luka and Kyrie with 1 point in the last 7 minutes of the game wasn’t ideal for the Mavs.

  7. mastacheef87

    Dallas really helped em out with those missed free throws but that was still a such gutsy, impressive win by the Thunder.

  8. Number333

    Pretty interesting how this game went against a lot of classic NBA tropes. OKC were the baby-faced team in their first serious playoff run and yet it was the Mavs who blew a golden opportunity to go up 3-1 thanks in large part due to ***abysmal*** FT shooting while the Thunder were damn near perfect. Surprising especially since you’d think nerves would play into effect more given OKC was on the road.

  11. xyzyxzy

    OKC were getting outsized, outlengthed, and outworked. Then Cason Wallace got in the game in the fourth quarter and turned it around.

    Big ups to Jaylin Williams too who also brought some much needed energy.

  12. OptimusGrime707

    Absolute gagjob

    Make a fucking free throw

  14. bigtice

    I fortunately don’t have a dog in this fight.

    This series has been fun to watch and I’m hoping that it ends up going 7 like it should.

  16. iMaticz7

    Kyrie NEEDS to be more agressive, especially with Luka not being able to score with efficient. He needs to step it up.

  17. CP3sHamstring

    GO TO WORK OKC FANS

    Spam your clips like Mavs fans did all week!!

  18. itskarl

    not even a Mavs fan and their FT shooting tilted me

  19. TitaniumC4206

    That was the best worst game i’ve ever watched

  21. BurgerNugget12

    “That might be the first time Luka has complained about not giving a foul”

  24. Liamesque

    Mavs need to be locked in a gym with Holger Geschwinder for an entire summer to work on FTs

  27. realscholarofficial

    Luka missed clutch free throw 😄😄😄

  29. zgamer200

    That is an absolutely brutal loss for the Mavs. To be up for most of the game and most of the 4th, only to see OKC storm back and then lose by 4 in a game where you missed ELEVEN free throws?

    That’s a backbreaker loss when you easily could’ve been up 3-1.

  30. UnPhayzable

    Luka’s body language was horrific. Actually he was just horrific all around

  31. slicker27

    >FTM-A 12-23

    What a fucking joke. Genuinely disgusting to get paid millions of dollars and can’t shoot a fucking free throw.

  32. IcyMission3

    The Mavs really missed every clutch free throw and when they had to miss one they made it 💀

  34. fractal_fables

    OKC get in here and talk your shit right now

  35. Jack_M_Steel

    Ugly game. Cant believe Mavs lost when Thunder missed almost every open 3 pointer in the first half

  36. TSSFranco

    At this point I think you have to start Cason Wallace. He’s exactly what okc needs

  37. siegeoftyre

    Great performance by SGA willing his team to win on the road. Mavs will rue not putting the Thunder away in the third quarter when OKC looked helpless.

  39. OUEngineer17

    What did I just watch? Thunder looked disjointed and out of sync all game and then made every play when it mattered. Unbelievable comeback.

  40. Zeeron1

    If you can’t respect Shai after that, I don’t respect you as a basketball fan. An absolute clinical clutch performance.

  42. levlk93

    Shai 34 points, 8 rebounds, dragged OKC to a win. Salute.

  43. Learningle

    Sga saved the rest of the team tonight, especially j dub

  44. mido0o0o

    I don’t care how this series ends as long as it ends and I don’t have see Luka whining again.

  45. Converted_Lefty

    Obviously SGA carried OKC to this win but the game really changed when Cason Wallace came in. Two huge threes and more importantly, incredible defense on Kyrie. Stayed in front of him perfectly without fouling. He’s going to be a stud.

  46. TheGreatLandRun

    I seriously am so unbelievably dumbfounded that Mavs fans have said all season that SGA is a flopping free-throw merchant when Luka is whining on legitimately every single play of the game. The dude is so talented but his game is worse than prime foul-bating harden.

  47. nothim4

    Twitter said Shai would be a playoff dropper

    20 2nd half points to win the game on the road

    Clear best player in this series too lol

  48. haussmeister

    Grant Hill: “Luka should not be begging for fouls and get up and play”. Grant Hill is my fucking dawg!

  49. darthsquidward15

    Honestly felt like SGA was unguardable in this one
