May 14, 20223 yr 7pm Sunday on TNT -- Mavs and Suns Mavs 0-3 on TNT. 3-0 on ESPN. If you believe in that sort of thing. BTW aren’t we smart enough to realize the whole “Luka shared the ball more and they win” narrative is BS?His usage has been about the same every game. The number of shots taken has been pretty close every game. The only difference is the role players at home got shots and on the road they don’t. You could also say the energy and flow of the off ball Mavs is better too.
May 14, 20223 yr The criticisms of Luka's lack of assists and sharing the ball more in regards to Game 5 were warranted... Only 2 assists. But on a positive note: "Doncic is usually a far more willing distributor. He averaged 8.7 assists during the regular season, which ranked fifth in the NBA, and tallied 35 dimes through the series' first four games".

Old Man Rant Mini-Rant time alert: What the blue hell does "dimes" have to do with assists? An assist is not 10 points. An assist is not a coin. Is it just a term taken from football (where it makes little sense as well) by some hipster, idoit announcer to make him look cool, or hip? We really just cant say "assist?" Jebus. Now... GET OFF MY LAWN DAMMIT~!
May 15, 20223 yr I always thought it had something to do with calling the cops from a pay phone or something?

GET OFF MY LAWN DAMMIT~! Well Done !!! Fyi: One theory on why assists are called dimes Spoiler An assist is called a dime in basketball because it originates from when payphones existed and costed a dime to make a phone call. It was common for a phone call from a payphone to cost 10 cents or a dime. If someone needed to make a phone call, they would ask someone else for a dime, or to “drop a dime”. Thus, that person giving them a dime is assisting them in making a phone call. It seems silly to still use that term “dime” today when payphones don’t exist or are very rare. Along with the fact that hardly anything costs just 10 cents or a dime today. That said, its origination is unique and commonly used throughout the world of basketball at every level
May 15, 20223 yr Guys, I hate your fucking team, but goddamnit send these fuckers to the seventh layer of hell tonight. Phoenix doesn’t deserve anything nice. Ever. Humiliate them on their floor. Make them question their existence. I want to see Chris Paul cry.

May 15, 20223 yr So glad this game is tonight -- been looking forward to it all day... GO MAVS !!! 🎉🎉🎉

May 15, 20223 yr Big contributions by role players have often helped win Game 7's Who is it gonna be tonight for the Mavs ??

May 16, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, RexWilson said: Let's fucking do this! I second this sentiment. Luka gonna have a stupid assist number tonight I think.
May 16, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, RexWilson said: Floppin bitch 3 3 pointers attempted, 3 flops. at least they aren't calling them fouls.
May 16, 20223 yr Just now, Fudbelty said: Hahaha even showing him crying for the fouls going to break. they bitch when the "Manu Ginobli Head Snap" isn't called
May 16, 20223 yr Just now, RexWilson said: Pretty sure there was bush on that razor commercial Wtf was that? I guess I just haven’t been paying attention but have those commercials been running? My 13 year old son is shook. 😂
May 16, 20223 yr Reggie needs to wake up. Dribbles to corner and picking up dribble. Bricking open 3s. That is not going to cut it.
May 16, 20223 yr Pre-game Miller was saying Phoenix needed the rest. Outside of Paul, I thought that was a dumb take. The Mavs do not have the depth, several guys logging 40+ minutes. Hopefully we keep this up
