[MacMahon] “Mavs muscled their way to a 105-101 Game 3 win to take the series lead over OKC. PJ Washington (27 points) came up big for Dallas again. Mavs beat up Thunder on the glass, led by Luka Doncic’s 15 rebounds.”

That rebounding killed us.
PJ Washington was always the best hornet behind Melo
Pj legacy series
dort is going to kill luka if this continues. This is not physical basketball, dude is playing football on the court.
My favorite part was when they hacked Lively and he went 4/4 at the end
Dorture chamber is just Flopping around every play hoping for the refs to blow the whistle
Glad to know the 31 points that Washington dropped against us late in the season is somewhat of a common occurrence
it would have been a blowout if Mavs made their FTs
The playoffs are so stressful bruh. A year away from it made me forget how it was. My goodness
On bidness
Wild for the first seed to play hack a lively with 6 minutes left
He went from barely averaging double figures through the Clippers series and game 1 of this series, to scoring 29 in Game 2 and 27 in Game 3.
Unreal turnaround.
Mavs in 6 imo
Dort is a bum.
Luka could’ve scored more but Dort was auditioning for WWE out there. Gotta play safe & let PJ cook
Shai costed his team the game. “MVP” overrated foul merchant
Wow! It wasn’t just Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving today, we saw key contributions from PJ Washington and Dereck Lively among others, as Dallas won a hard fought Game 3 to take a 2-1 series lead!
Luka “Shaq* Doncic
the “PJ wont do this again” crowd real quiet
Kyrie is special man. He’s just filling any role the Mavs need for them to win.
Thank goodness for PJ Washington., Now we don’t have to rely on worthless Hardaway Jr
Need Luka to save that knee by drinking some recovery beers and playing overwatch
Mavs won this because they dominated the rebounds. Poor Luka, looks like he can barely walk
The physicality and will of Doncic to be absolutely beat up carrying multiple injuries and still getting 15 rebounds is crazy, even if him and Irving aren’t making shots their absolute desire to win must be inspiring for their teammates
And big shout-out to PJ, this series would probably be 0-3 without his immense contribution
We’re going to have to win this in 5 and hope the other series goes 7 if we have any shot to win a title. Luka really needs a few days off even if his knee won’t recover
I’m not sure what sport Dort is playing but I’m positive it’s not basketball
Dort just playing to injure luka…no respect for this OKC team
I said it before Luka on his I’ll contribute one way or another arc. Damn I wish he was fully healthy because the more I see the Mavs i think they could have gone all the way.
I’m sorry but the Mavs need to play physical & give Thunder a taste of their own medicine. This is beyond basketball. These Thunder dudes out here doing too much. I like Thunder, but this is some loser mentality shit.
Lee Harvey Oswald spotted up in the rafters, taking shots at Lu Dort every single play
Kyrie with the left handed floater is inevitable
I was told the Thunder was gonna sweep this series?
Dort fouled out with 39 fouls.
Well I don’t have as much basketball knowledge as those “analysts” on TV, but I would dare say that the OKC sweeping the Mavs is not looking very likely to happen 😕
Remember mavs got a D grade for the trade
I don’t think the Thunder are trying to deliberately injure Luka but I think have a plan.
They know he’s got a bunch of injuries and are playing overly physical and if Luka gets hurt, so be it. At least make him hurt more and more as the series goes on.
Feels like every series will have at minimum one game decided by a roleplayer dropping 30ish
It’s been a while since I’ve gotten to exercise my victim complex on here. I can’t believe these teams have all these non-stars showing out and rising to the moment and we paid $40M for 0 point Tobias Harris.
Still baffled by OKC’s trade deadline activity:
– Acquiring Gordon Hayward’s dead body (??)
– *Not* trading for another big, especially one who can grab boards and protect the rim
You never know how long these championship windows are going to last. Yeah OKC is young, but so were the KD/Westbrook/Harden Thunder and look how quickly they broke up.
I don’t know, man, feels like they may have punted their own chances this postseason. You have 100 first round picks- why not cash in and get that last big piece you need??
Luka on one knee outrebounds the thunder
Still confused why the Thunder traded for Hayward at the deadline when they already had plenty of scoring and their biggest need was and is rebounding
I remember all the Thunder fans Thursday night saying “We good PJ won’t score like this again this series”
😭😭😭😭
PJ for bum ass Grant is the biggest fleece ever. wtf were the hornets doing
It’s never too early or never too late to bring up how the Suns drafted Ayton over this guy for “*team fit*” reasons. 🤣🤡🌞
Luka to PJ “Fine. You score the points this game and I’ll get the rebounds.”
PJ Washington shooting 7/11 and then immediately following that up by going 5/12 from 3, has to be to wildest shooting anomaly in the playoffs. Good for the Mavs.
Although, I sympathize with OKC. Us Bucks fans have had our fair share of terrible shooters turning into prime Steph against us for no reason.
The crazy thing is the light rail trains (DART) usually have their maintenance done around this time, but they keep putting it off because they need the trains to take fans to the AAC for these Mav and now Stars games going on.
