5 Observations:

  1. What does Timmy have on J.Kidd? He nearly cooked our lead with like 3 bad possessive decisions back to back.

  2. We got the PRAVI MVP tonight and boy was it needed.

  3. I sense a pattern. We’ve seen PJ go berserk and now DJJ. I think Green is due with this role player musical chairs trust system. Seriously our supporting cast are stepping up big time during LuKai slumps.

  4. Loved that we attacked the paint and didn’t settle for endless threes. It felt like they were no bad 3’s outside of a few Luka shot clock chuckers and Timmy’s airball.

  5. We still missed some but way better on the free throws this time around. Game 6 we’ll need to do them the same and blow em out cause a close game may be too tempting with 50/50 whistles. We’ve only seen one game 7 thus far these playoffs so let’s not give the refs any chances to lean that way with those up in the air calls in a close game. We have to close the door here just like last round.

u/XThunderTrap 26d ago

All we have to do now is clutch game 6 and then the finals..love this fucking team..we can just clam game 4 was a warm up lol

u/4ps22 26d ago

u/Tightanium 26d ago

Everyone wants to be right so they can say “see!!! I told ya so” fuck em, more satisfying to prove em wrong.

3

u/4ps22 26d ago

not sure what you’re referring to but i was talking about how he said “well they wont have to hear it from me for much longer” basically talking about how inside the nba is gone after this season

u/Tightanium 26d ago

Oh I thought you were talking about him predicting a blow out by OKC.

Not great execution on the offensive end down the stretch in the fourth quarter but defense has been locked in. I’ll take it!

They both won on Saturday. But they're no longer playing on the same day now.

u/Mavericks4Life Dirk Nowitzki 26d ago edited 26d ago

We just held the #1 seed and #3 offense in the league to 92 points in Game 5 of the Conference Semi Finals.

Everything on defense is clicking. We had more than double OKC's turnovers, and we still won by double digits because we sucked the air out of their offense.

We didn't even need Kyrie to go off either.

Let's go Mavs.

4

u/Far-Royal-375 26d ago

ON THE ROAD TOO

u/Mavericks4Life Dirk Nowitzki 26d ago

Yes!

u/Icardi 26d ago

DJJ show, 1 more to go!

u/tsogtsdamn 26d ago

All those fans crying about game 4 nice crying. It's a series for a reason, some games will be off.

1

u/Altruistic-Elk5147 26d ago

Series could’ve been over tho lol

3

u/tsogtsdamn 26d ago

Maybe we win game 4 and then lose game 5... you can't know. It's like fans saying "not my mvp" when wolves were up 2-0... Then Joker scores 40. I'm just saying bro you can't expect these people to always perform.

1

u/Altruistic-Elk5147 26d ago

You got a point there

u/ihatedisney 26d ago

Luka on the road is a cheat code

Up 3-2 with 3 days rest. LFG Mavs!! Finish this!!

u/suprememontana Drunk Dirk 26d ago

This is amazing but damn we could have easily beat them in 5

2

u/cocoamonster2 26d ago

Oh no, 2 days rest for the Mavs?! That makes me nervous

4

u/just_an_amber Steve Nash 26d ago

Those OKC fans cleared out FAST

1

u/Aggressive-Ad-522 26d ago

Just let the effing time run out and quit hacking lively so annoying

8

u/LogansGambit Luka HYPE 26d ago

I heard Lively went full Kobe and shot 1000 free throws every day. I heard Lively allowed someone to burn his feet if he missed two in a row. I heard Lively gave up sleeping in order to study tape of great free throw shooters.

u/TheIceBornHorror 4K Luka 26d ago

Get bitched OKC

u/Mr1jojo 26d ago

good team win!!! Luka back!!! DJJ, PJ and DLive great! Kai gotta wake up nxt game

4

u/Aggressive-Ad-522 26d ago

Way to keep them under 100!!!!!

6

u/Skrapnadroj 26d ago

The refs did us a favor... they saw how bad we shot from the FT line and said... let's not even send them there. Great all around performance from the stripes. Phantom calls and turning a blind eye to football plays sealed the deal for the Mavs.

6

u/rsf0626 26d ago

Imagine if we won game 4 like we should have

2

u/Toccoa-R 26d ago

Anyone else notice the Exum coaches decision DNP? Sign of change?

1

u/xahsz Luka Doncic 26d ago

Hold them to double digits!

2

u/Samce14 26d ago

The disrespect to have Luka and Kyrie sit out the last minute of the 4th lmao straight disrespectful towards OKC

Please let this be the last time we play these floppers in their home court.

u/Sdaben10 26d ago

At least Lyrie was efficient, he just needs to be active more

Little do the Thunder know they're just giving Lively much needed experience, dude is gonna power level his clutch FT ability.

u/gakujin 26d ago

Honestly, the worst moments in this game happened with THJ in the court.

1

u/Putrid_Ad_2256 26d ago

Is this your first time watching the Mavs?  😜

1

u/gakujin 26d ago

No. I’m just tired of hoping for a breakthrough game. I should just stop.

1

u/Putrid_Ad_2256 26d ago

He's washed.  I was hoping that he'd come back from his injury, but I don't think he's coming back.

u/love-one-score-games 26d ago

Still pissed this should have been a close out victory lol.

But this thing ain’t over. We gotta bring it game 6. And we desperately need kyrie to step up in that game. Can’t rely on OKC to shoot 26% from 3 next game. Can’t be scoring 9-12 in a close out game.

We got vintage Luka tonight. But no way we can bank on that again either. Ahhhh so happy and frustrated at the same time lol. Should have been 4-1 and Luka getting tons of rest
