May 29, 20241 yr Any doing his best mj impression tonight. Still needed his pippen to hit a bunch of shots for them to win. Edited May 29, 20241 yr by Pato del Muerto
May 29, 20241 yr Valiant effort but Mavs didn’t have shots falling tonight and defense didn’t click when it mattered, go get them in game 5.
May 29, 20241 yr Just now, dcar00 said: that was awful from Kyrie. He didn't account for the curvature of the earth.
May 29, 20241 yr I’d rather have 6 Beth Mowins in the room with me rather than Reggie Miller calling a game
May 29, 20241 yr Just now, Vic Mackey said: Another game 4 stinker from the Mavs. You mean Irving. Luka, Gafford, PJ and jones played well enough to win
May 29, 20241 yr You mean Irving. Luka, Gafford, PJ and jones played well enough to win Meh, Rudy and KAT had 5 fouls and they did nothing but stand back and shoot. Luka passed up a ton of close range shots and was looking to pass. We have now given these fucks life. Up 3-0 at home, need to put the dagger in them. We just let them off the mat.
May 29, 20241 yr Will not be surprised if they lose game 5. If that happens, there will be some big-time pressure on game 6.
May 29, 20241 yr With the east done, what better way to manufacture eyeballs than the first 0-3 comeback to fill ad space until the finals begin. At least I have something to watch between stars games.
May 29, 20241 yr Author You mean Irving. Luka, Gafford, PJ and jones played well enough to win Luka and Kyrie both shot 33.3%. Luka and PJ had the worse +-, both at -13. Gaff, DJ, and our bench minus Powell played very well.
May 29, 20241 yr Maxi can’t shoot yet and now they know it. But hopefully they get lively back and that wasn’t all gamesmanship.
May 29, 20241 yr KAT is the most inconsistent player ever. He can be Embiid one game and Bol Bol the next. Edited May 29, 20241 yr by Fastbreak
May 29, 20241 yr Well damn. At least I’ll get to watch Game 5. I’ve been in Singapore where streaming doesn’t work and the games are early morning before sports bars open. I’m sure some open early for stuff like this but I’ve had too much shit to do to find out where. It’s been nice hearing Cooperstein though. He’s good. Matt Pinto for the Thunder is atrocious. “Cha-Ching a Thunder money ball!” Eat shit dumbass. Edited May 29, 20241 yr by 'stache

May 29, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Ghost of Shag said: Minnesota is dangerous. Need to close this thing out asap. Agreed. KAT is a mental midget, but if he gets going, they can beat us, especially without Lively. I said going into the game last night that if the Mavs didn't win, I think this goes 6.

I said going into the game last night that if the Mavs didn't win, I think this goes 6. Yep. I think KAT's momentum carries to game 5 at home. Harped on it yesterday morning, do NOT give this team life. We were up 3-0 but this wasn't because we were the overwhelmingly superior team. In fact, this series reminds me a little of the Lakers/Denver 1st rd series. Lakers led for most the series but Denver found ways to win at the end like we have. Minnesota has led most this series. I'd assume maybe 85% of it? Have had double digit leads I think in all games. We won the first 3 games with their stars wilting when it matters. This can easily be 2-2 right now or hell, 3-1 Minnesota. Every single game has been close at the end. I hate we gave them life and they are the home team so they have 2 of the last 3 at home. Giving them life, 2003 Portland creeps into my head, where we didn't bury them and the series kept extending to game 7. But at least that year, we had game 7 at home. Kyrie says yesterday was their super bowl and just another game for us. Then comes out and lays a stinker. Luka passing up close range shots to kick to role players who were cold. Not taking advantage of their big men being in foul trouble a lot of that game. Luka finally did but it was too late. If this does go 6, Minnesota will have all the momentum and all the pressure is on us to close it out at home. We have had zero room for error this series. Definitely will be a nervous atmosphere.

Dallas’ saving grace is we’re 3-4 at home vs 6-2 on the road these playoffs. think we think we can show up at any time and the crowd will will us to a comeback/win because it works vs Portland and Detroit. Won’t work vs Denver and Dallas.KATs been awful at home. But if he shoots lay ups again at will instead of 3s, it could open it up like G4. Who knows if ant switching to Luka and Jaden to Kyrie unlocks something. I just hope we don’t boo Luka(why would we but crowds are dumb). It’ll end up like Jamal murray scorching us

It’ll end up like Jamal murray scorching us KAT has problems finding his own way into games so i like what finch did getting purposefully getting KAT involved. it should have always been jaden on ky. kyrie has problems with lengthy defenders. luka's going to get his no matter and he likes the PnR so much they're gonna get switched off anyway. you need to put your best player able to get through screens to prevent the switch. that said, this series is over. if not tomorrow then saturday.

May 30, 20241 yr Looks like he will play. Question is, how effective will he be and is there any risk of further injury with this?
