OKC now 5-19 from three.
Then they hit 4 in a row. 9-23 now for 39%.
5 in a row. 10-24. 41.7%.

Dallas has nothing going on besides Luka. Nobody else made more than 2 buckets in that half for them. Now 6 guys made 2 buckets but Luka was the only guy scoring consistently for them.

You get a Game 7, they get a Game 7, everyone gets a Game 7!!!

Except for Boston.

Looks like three Game 7s this round.

Boston should be able to take advantage of some of these teams also needing to go the extra distance in their series. I think there's a good chance the WCF could also go 6-7 games. Added bonus if Boston can win their ECF series in 6 or less games.

Or maybe not? DAL clawing back, now down just 8

Tatum would have already been tossed by now if he did the stuff Luka has done today.

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.

I mean, Giddey has been awful. He’s averaging 7ppg this series and 9ppg for the postseason. He needed to be benched. Jalen Williams is averaging 16ppg this series. I think those two are more of an issue.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Mavs are screwed if they lose Gafford at this point. Hopefully it wasn't anything serious

Gafford just got clobbered on that rebound attempt and the refs literally didn't call anything  ::)

But yeah, overall they are letting both teams get away with a bunch. Doncic is constantly pushing off, so is SGA. Kyrie looked like he got fouled on a shot attempt a minute ago and again, nothing.

More turnovers than rebounds or assists for Luka.

Doncic was just jumping up and down like a baby waving his hands off at the refs for not calling Dort for a foul there, but no technical foul given. But I was told when JT got hit with the technical foul for doing a much less hand wave the other day that it's ALWAYS a technical foul. Funny how that works and how the rules only apply to some players but not others.

Oh, it was the EXACT same ref in Tony Brothers, too.  ::)

Huge 6 points there before quarter end. 13 point deficit down to 7 for DAL. Massive 4th coming

Kyrie having one of those dodgy scoring nights. 14pts but on 14 FGAs and with 4 turnovers. Only 2 assists.
