Mavs have no one to blame but themselves for that pathetic finish

Kingofkings1281 · 05-13-2024, 11:19 PM

What a great game. I’m down in Daytona for Rockville and we had people from both Oklahoma and Dallas in here at the bar. Great atmosphere.

Starman101 · 05-13-2024, 11:19 PM

Complete 4th quarter meltdown by Dallas

Stink up their own bed with that FT shooting

Awful

Hey your internet is back on.

You must go camping where gomi goes

drobfan8 · 05-13-2024, 11:21 PM

There's the Dallas we all know and love.

We'll probably see them win in OKC next game with Luka going off. That's what usually happens.

good sir, may I also remind you Murray won the game. What made you think I was calling him a loser?

If you saw the post game Ant was saying "keep talking"... This is who I was refering to being a sore ass loser.

Yes good sir, this is what I was saying. A good fellow on here was complaining about Hali's trash talking. This is who I was refering to being a sore ass loser.

Two of our finest gentlemen on here not reading/understanding doesn't suprise me. You are excused good sirs.

So Edwards needs help when he has an All Star PF, a DPOY in Gobert at center, a solid point guard in Conley, the 6th man of the year guy in Reid....not to mention McDaniels is a solid defense guy.

Nuggets don't even have another All Star on their roster aside from Jokic.

I'm just questioning the "MJ had really good years from the 3pt lane".

That's how you play defense nowadays. He'll be first team next year.

Chet is objectively one of the best defensive players in the NBA

Opportunity to tie a playoff game in a series you can go up 3-1, "typically" doesn't matter.

oldgoldy97 · 05-14-2024, 08:08 AM

NBA can’t have second round sweeps.

Unless they’re trying to build a legacy.

Lol ok. Didn't know losing one game (which didn't even lose the series) negates all the other previous clutch moments in a career. Can he ever be clutch again?

Nope, he sucks. Doesn't contribute to wins. Ball hog. No defense. Fat and slow etc...

ksemmel · 05-14-2024, 09:22 AM

Two great games tonight.

Think the winner of the Knicks v Pacers tonight wins in 6
Still think Denver wins in 7 regardless of the outcome tonight.

bradjames12 · 05-14-2024, 11:17 AM

Think the Pacers have to win tonight and then wrap it up in Indy Friday night.

Can't see them winning a game 7 at MSG if it gets to that point.

Nomad · 05-14-2024, 12:05 PM

I was thinking around 5 minutes left Luka needed to take himself out of the game. Don't see how the Mavs win going forward, similar to a banged up Brunson.

he forgot how to be clutch

he's supposed to defy probabilities and hit every game-deciding shot, to truly be clutch

like in the '98 Finals. MJ choked on the final FGA in game 5. not clutch. game 6 he pushes off on bryon Russell to hit a shot and then lucks out with Stockton missing the final FGA. not strong evidence of MJ clutchiness is it

Malone faceplanted, which is on him - again MJ lucks out

actually for a literal faceplant there was that Lulu chin-drop the other night. it didn't happen on the last play of the game so it didn't affect his clutchiness. Faceplant Malone did fall forward to the ground in a clutch moment. it's unclear that it was an actual chin/nose-drop rather than like a shoulder to the floor, but the narrative is what it is

responding to your own post???

my picks tonight:
Pacers/Nuggets

Nomad · 05-14-2024, 07:20 PM

McConnell looking like prime Brunson. It's a good one.

Revision, McNash and Haliburton stinking it up. Sorry guys, we need some physicality back on the court.

Don't get this. Nesmith starts a crisp pass sequence and they resort to hero ball. And then he himself does same. Suss lineups from Carlisle. Or are the Knicks highly motivated and is Brunson a great leader?

Man, Aaron not ready to try and take control of the lane like that. But no one can penetrate that defense. The Knicks were busy in the break. Where is Haliburton?

No idea why coach veered so wildly from the classic Nesmith Nembhard lineup against a physical NY.

ksemmel · 05-14-2024, 07:45 PM

Burks getting a T for a choke slam, I mean light contact to the head. But Hart goes to the rip and gets hit in the head and it’s common.

This is softer than international soccer
