@Mavs_FFL PJ clearly hammers dorts arm and they overturn the call even after seeing it. J will sets a perfect charge in the first and they don’t overturn it and call it a block. Also shot way more free throws than OKC.
Don’t wanna hear another word about the refs.
@Mavs_FFL Dallas when SGA gets fouled- “FREE THROW MERCHANT!! LEAGUE IS FIXED!!”
Dallas when Kyrie doesn’t get touched- “great great call. I agree completely.”
@TheLaurenGunn Shit y’all Dallas fans complain NONSTOP. Fouls are even and Dallas has taken more FTs. Stop blaming everyone but yourselves every time something goes remotely wrong. Lawd.
@HoudaNa76784732@NotAnOKCFan@Toxic_Mavs_Fan Exactly what I was thinking. Or even 2016 GS, which still gives me as an OKC fan nightmares. I really thought they had that series lol
@HoudaNa76784732@NotAnOKCFan@Toxic_Mavs_Fan I really do think a big part of it is their bond with each other. I know other people think it’s cringe the way they dance and bark and stuff, but having a team that close where they all know exactly what their roles are and they’re all unselfish, that’s really hard to stop.
@MFFL_5@Hero_OfThe_Day We’ll see how the teams and the refs adjust tonight I guess. Regardless of who thinks what as to why Dallas lost, if Luka and Kyrie don’t get better they will not win a game. They HAVE to play perfect or they’re going to lose. Not to say they aren’t capable, they certainly are.
@HoudaNa76784732@NotAnOKCFan@Toxic_Mavs_Fan If Shai gets his so be it. Kyrie and Luka can offset shai and j dub even if they play well. But Dallas will never win if they let Joe, J will, Wiggins, Cason, etc get going. Thats where OKC gets teams. I do think Luka has a come back night tonight. If not, he must be really hurt
@HoudaNa76784732@NotAnOKCFan@Toxic_Mavs_Fan I can agree with all of this. I’m not biased enough to say the refs didn’t affect the first half, they certainly did. But I also think the borage OKC put on after half was just unstoppable. Dallas HAS to stop OKC’s role players, that’s how they beat people.
@HoudaNa76784732@NotAnOKCFan@Toxic_Mavs_Fan Also, Dallas cannot forget about OKC’s role players like they did game 1. A lot of people underestimate OKC’s bench but it’s the deepest in the NBA. They do this every game. That’s what happened after half, they kept leaving J will, Cason, Joe, etc open even with SGA on the bench
@HoudaNa76784732@NotAnOKCFan@Toxic_Mavs_Fan I’m just tired of hearing that it happened the entire game (because it didn’t) and how that’s the reason Dallas lost (because it isn’t). But you’re right, Dallas shot themselves in the foot and Luka was awful. I highly doubt he’s awful again tonight, and OKC will have to be ready
@JohnChaves88@Hero_OfThe_Day 1.) Dallas got all the calls in the 2nd half and got out scored by 12 in it anyways.
2.) They gave up 13 wide open 3’s (per espn analytics) in the 2nd half because they were scared of fouling in the paint? How does that work?
They lost cause Luka sucked and they have no depth.
@HoudaNa76784732@NotAnOKCFan@Toxic_Mavs_Fan You literally just now said that the calls “significantly favored OKC in terms of momentum, and in general” dipshit. Dallas got the momentum calls after half, and in general is false because there was a 3 shot discrepancy. You know what you were insinuating.
@Hero_OfThe_Day Also shai took 5 more FT than Luka the first half on 16 more drives. That means he got a foul called for him 2 more times than Luka on 16 more chances.
@Hero_OfThe_Day There were a handful of plays they could have called a foul for him after half but didn’t. I’m not complaining about it, it was a deviation back to the norm. But Dallas by no means laid off of him. They just stopped calling in the 2nd half what they were calling in the 1st.
