2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[RJ87]

Honestly, how good could Luka be if he tried to get in and stay in shape for a full season? He'd be an undoubted MVP, no?

Everytime I watch a Mavs game (which admittedly isn't often), I'm shocked at how bad he looks physically.

[Who]

Did he take Shai out?

Two early subs by OKC coach just when Dallas is getting momentum. He took out Chet. Shai as well I think.

Oh, this coach hurts my head.

[Who]

G: Cason Wallace
G: A Wiggins
F: Jalen Williams
F: Giddey
C: Jaylin Williams

Not a strong unit.

At least Dallas have taken Luka out. Not sure who is out there for Dallas. I think it is:

G: Kyrie
G: Hardy
F: Josh Green
F: Derrick Jones Jr
C: Lively

I still think that OKC coach has been a liability in the post-season.

How so?

[Who]

I still think that OKC coach has been a liability in the post-season.

How so?

His substitution patterns and lineup decisions. Constantly chopping and changing his lineups.

[Who]

Teams should play Chet for the pass when he drives. He rarely takes a shot. Not comfortable if there is any traffic around the paint. Looks to pass off vast majority of the time.

[Who]

Not much offense on the floor alongside Shai right now. They have Cason, Shai, Dort, Kenrich Williams and Chet. Chet is probably the only other good offensive player and he is a team offense guy rather than a creator. Shai is the only creator on the floor.

It's kind of funny how this OKC-DAL series feels "irrelevant". Everyone just assumes it'll be the winner of DEN-MIN making the Finals, and the only other storyline is who plays Boston in the ECF. Otherwise, OKC-DAL no one seems to really care much about.

[Who]

C'mon. He lowered the shoulder and barrelled right into him. That is an offensive foul. Not a defensive foul.

[Who]

No movement whatsoever for OKC with Chet on the bench. Jaylin Williams just stands still and watches the play. A proper rim roller would do wonders for this team.

[keevsnick]

Between the OKC offensive rebounds and Dallas turnovers OKC has taken 35 shots and Dallas has taken 23.

[Who]

OKC now 5-19 from three.

[Who]

OKC now 5-19 from three.

Then they hit 4 in a row. 9-23 now for 39%.

We may legitimately have a situation where all of the other semifinal series end up in tough game 7's while we're sitting at home for a week after two quick 5 game series. Don't hate it!

This Thunder-Mavs series reminds me of our last year's run againt Miami. Both teams hate home court advantage. lol
