Dirk 😂😂😂

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

@hilogarces Yeah I agree all around. Let Harper or Castle mostly single up JB, try not to let him get switches onto Champagnie or Vassell

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

Spurs got a pretty incredible whistle tonight and a 7-25 shooting game from Brunson and still lost. That's tough.

Still, the way they played the final six minutes is the blueprint. Gotta play Harper in clutch time for the rest of the series IMO.

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

@Relax_B13 Yeah, I tend to agree he would have left anyway. In addition to his northeast and NYK ties, he's got a lot of confidence in himself and I suspect always knew he could thrive as "the" guy. Hard to imagine him staying on a team with Luka forever.

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

You know, it's quite possible to simultaneously believe that Jalen Brunson would have never been this good on the Mavs playing 1B to Luka, while also knowing that the Mavs FO handled his negotiations disastrously.

These ideas are not mutually exclusive, nor even in conflict.

“Yo, there might be a slight chance at maybe getting an offensive rebound there.”

@TravisRW its almost as if having the ability to put the ball in the basket at an ELITE level in the highest leverage moments is far and away the most valuable skill in the game.

Dirk > KG forever

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

@KirkSeriousFace Yessir, had a kiddo in Nov so been enjoying some time away from here. He quite righteously waited until Nico got canned to make his debut

Been a minute since I've been up to the school

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

Very much this.

Also, as we have seen time and time again of late, it is easier to get a roster with scorers to play credible defense when the playoffs hit than it is to expect bunch of non-scorers to score when the games really matter

[Kirk Henderson @KirkSeriousFace]

I think, at the moment, where I settle is I need the Mavericks to be a less tough watch offensively. Cooper was fun, I get it, but the offensive output was a drag to watch and I bet the hardcore fans would agree.

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

My pregame prediction was Spurs by 6, so Devin Vassell has made a mortal enemy for life with that gratuitous last dunk

[Austin @garooya]

RESPECT THE CUP

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

Sup @hilogarces

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

I, too, had Luke Kornet with the play of the game tonight

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

Love that both teams have been willing to shoot early in the shot clock most possessions. Makes a huge difference in the energy of the game

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

Become ungovernable

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

No idea why the Thunder are letting McCain stay out there and get pummeled, already down two rotation guys

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

OKC gets a lot of favors from the refs, but give them credit for scoring 118+ tonight and 123 in Game 3 despite two of their three main ballhandlers out injured. And the Spurs can defend

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

An affront to basketball purists everywhere if the Spurs manage to waste a 22-point conference finals effort from Julian Champagnie

[Travis Wimberly @TravisRW]

I'm a Castle guy but 20 turnovers in less than two games is crisis-level stuff

[That Guy Rocked NBA @NBAGuyRocked]

Jason Terry

That guy rocked.
