  1. someone pls give luka the mvp. if he doesnt get it this season its a robbery imo. jokic is awesome, but for me he is 2nd. luka has been outta this world this season. averaging pretty much a 34 point triple double

  2. Jabari Smith Jr ending the Rockets season…not only did he miss the FTs, but he also didn't guard the 3 pt line when they were down 3 – instead he chose to defend the interior – just pure lack of awareness

  3. Lukas defense in OT was incredible. They kept on going at him but held his own. What a game 🔥

  4. imagine getting paid millions and not making free throws these nba players are so lucky and yet they dont give their best to train

  5. 5:57 for all the people that complain and say luka cant play offball because they think offball is cutting 24/7 like curry, pause it here. It can be as simple as spacing, Exum gives up the ball to kyrie and luka moves out to way beyond the 3pt and look how brooks is face guarding him. Now kyrie is running a p&r with PJ AND LOOK HOW MUCH SPACE HE HAS IN THE MIDDLE. He ends up missing(which he barely did all night) but he got 3 defenders to commit in a 4v4 setting lol, and PJ's able to crash the glass uncontested. shit, pause it at 6:05 and Luka is OFF THE SCREEN 😂

  6. This is yet another incredible game happening after the officiating changes. And the nba needs to do everything in its power to model their product around this.
    This was players vs players only. The shotmaking, the defense, the intensity. Nothing came down to controversial calls, and it’s 100x more enjoyable than what we had in the first half of the season.

  7. Incredible instincts and awareness from Luka to make that extra pass at 3:35
    I woulda bet my life that he’d take that shot from the logo.

  8. They had no right to win the game… jabari litterally shit his pants but not just that… they didn’t foul and allowed them to get a shot … incredible. Doesn’t not make any sense…

  9. Dante exum’s career resurrection is honestly incredible props to this dude for sticking it out and adapting his game to the way it’s played now. He COULD NOT shoot like this when he first came into the league respect!

  10. The rockets lost the game themselves, one the missed free throws in the clutch and not fouling with a few seconds left. A good comeback win for the mavs but rockets probably should have won this game.

  11. I hope Boston is watching this. They selfishly didn't want to accept Kyrie as a leader. They could have won a championship with Kyrie.

  12. Not a fan of either team, but there were 2 very big no-calls down the stretch in OT against Houston that would've been called basically any other time. Think somebody wanted the Mavs to win this game?!
