It's all rigged for mavs to win.
1. Its Texas
2. Racist elitist Mark Cuban
3. Kyrie new ager puppet and also has the all seeing eye masonic tattoo. He also signaled the devil horns game 2.
4. Luka also has the all seeing eye masonic tattoo, and will be the elites white messiah
5. Pj Washington also with the all seeing eye masonic tattoo.
6. Lively's mom was the sacrificial lamb, and as with satanic sacrifices, comes karma. That's why he got kneed on the head.
Dallas will win because the elites has chosen them this year.
They got Jaden McDaniels but we got Derrick Jones Jr π
NBA MSM is a complete disgrace.
Post games are just about losing teams, LAs, OKC, Minnesota…
They will have a lot to talk about Boston I guess.
I still can't get over the fact that Kyrie is not on Team USA… smh
the best duo in the nba right now! lukai!!!
Luka and Kyrie π₯
Against the 6th man award winner. With a spinner
Vamos Luka ojala ganes la NBA mucha fuerza desde MADRID
11+77=66π
When they only took preparations for the Nuggets but never with the Mavs. Wolves 3 towers can guard 2 scoring guards in mavs π₯²
This duo will get butchered in Boston π
Simply the best duo this season , unstoppable end gamer duo solid kai and luca π₯π₯
Unc drew and king had 82 !!! In a game 5 must win or Cancun it is reminder
As JJ Reddick eloquently put it "when Kyrie's got it going, there isn't a more aesthetically pleasing player to watch"…. I couldn't agree more!!!!
Reggie Miller said it the best during the broadcast, but Luka and KAI are Mariano Rivera/Dennis Eckersley type of closers.
If nobody knows, Dennis Eckersley was THE CLOSER before Mariano Rivera's dominance and title for the best closer in the game.
Kyrie was cooking
Luka and Kyrie are on another level. What a special duo.
Oh My GOAT!
Gafford, moving from the Wizards, to the top of the NBA….
At the end of the day Anthony Edwardβs shouldβve never said he was going to guard Kyrieπ€·π»ββοΈ itβs going to haunt him for the rest of his lifeπ
Dagger shot from kyrie and exclamation dunk to finish the game by gafford
Let's face it.. the Mavs don't have a 1A & 1B… They have 2As! π
double team Luka means Kyrie will have a one on one dance with the lone defender for easily slicing the middle for a bucket,, but once they double team kyrie then its luka's turn and will leave his lone defender so easy for his signature stepback 3,,,, how the fvck you gonna play team defense when theres 2 guys stabbing with both sides???
timberwolves about to get swept lmao
Kyrie is now jokic grandaddy π
Wonder why Shaq SAS Perk always going against Doncic or the Joker.I cant figure it out
Boston vs Dallas is gonna be a great finals. I hope it goes the long way to 7. Itβll be fun seeing how Boston guards these 2 guys.
Plan B: Letβs put McDaniels on Lukaβ¦so Rudy can get posterized.
let them cookπ₯π₯π₯π₯
Baddest backcourt in the NBA rn.
Greatest closing backcourt
Wow wow Luka and Kyrie are playing the best competitive basketball of there professional career.
Go Mavs bring on the Boston Celitcs now.
This duo just works like Ky/Bron Wade/Bron Kobe/Shaq itβs too hard to beat two players that offensively sound
Luka is Minnesota's father THROUGH AN THROUGH

this game was crazy!!! Mavs got busy!!!
Imagine being told 3 years ago that Kyrie and Luka were going to make a run to the Finals together. What an unexpected and fun duo.
Kyrie and Luka are the most fun to watch in the 2024 NBA Playoffs π―
π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
Kyrie great very talented but was toxic at Boston,& continued to be after leaving. Could have been one of the all time greats! Celtics in 5.
This guy Luka will end up better than Curry in shooting. He is still very young. His shooting skill will improve more through the years of playing in the NBA.
KAT really did have the most contribution to wolves game 3 by taking down Lively. KAT knows what he's doing alright
This is Ant's "when Larry Bird used to beat me" moment.
77-11 = 66
Jrue canβt stop Luka and Kyrie at the same time; yup Mavs got this
ALL IN ON KYRIEβS REVENGE TOUR vs CELTIKKKS, BURNING SAGE UP IN THAT ARENA IN ROUTE TO HIS 2nd CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
These plays are so simple yet so effective especially with two legit centers.
