2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

I don't understand Jaylin Williams coming back in again here. OKC need to settle down. Chet was starting to get involved. Then you sub him? Too many subs!

G: Cason
G: SGA
F: Jalen Williams
F: Dort
C: Jaylin Williams

Still no Giddey. He only has 13min. No sign of him since 6min mark in Q3.

[Who]

I don't understand this OKC lineup with 6min left in Q4. Dallas is basically playing their starters. Only difference is Lively for Gafford.

Now I Joe checks in for Jalen Williams. Only SGA of their main guys. Lu Dort is their 2nd starter. Then 3 bench dudes. Jaylin Williams, Cason Wallace and I Joe. Final 6min.

My mistake. Jalen Williams is still out there.

[Who]

Chet should feast with Dallas going small.

Luka or PJ Washington now at center.

G: Kyrie vs Cason
G: T Hardaway vs SGA
F: Derrick Jones Jr vs Jalen Williams
F: Luka vs Dort
C: PJ Washington vs Chet

Okay, Kidd brought back in Lively for Tim Hardaway. Commentators think Kidd is doing offense / defense subs. A bit early for that.

[Who]

Ooh, big shot by I Joe. OKC needed that.

[Who]

Luka 21pts 15reb 5ast 2stl
Kyrie 20pts 7ast 5reb 1stl 1blk
PJ Washington 27pts 6reb

Lively 12pts 8reb

[Who]

SGA 31pts 9reb 6ast 4blk 1stl
Jalen Williams 16pts 8ast 5reb

Chet 13pts 8reb 3ast 4blk 1stl
I Joe 13pts

Both teams played hard. Now this is the typa basketball I like to see. Not some one-sided crap that we're on the losing side of it lol

[Who]

I thought OKC's coach shot his team in the foot with all those subs and strange lineups. His refusal to play Giddey in the 2nd half after Giddey started the Q3 well was strange.

[Who]

It is great to see Kyrie play team basketball. He has stretches of team ball before, short lived stretches, but this is the best overall basketball I have ever seen him play.

Beautiful to watch. A true floor general. Leading on both ends of the floor. Defensive effort. Passing and team attitude on offense. Not just hunting for his own shot attempts.

[Who]

Nuggets players on/off stats when Jokic is playing alongside them or not.

[Birdman]

No Giddy in 4th was mind boggling

Dallas deserves credit. Good trade deadline moves. Guys who mostly know their roles. And I had my doubts about the Luka-Kyrie pairing but they are making it work beautifully. It's not perfect but still great. And both guys seem to actually be trying hard even on defense and the hustle plays.

I'd be shocked if this series didn't go a full 7.

Dallas getting Washington & Gafford was genius for them

It really was. They surrounded Luka and Kyrie with very athletic players who can play defense. It’s made a huge difference.

This isn't going 7. Dallas will win in no more than 6
