GAME 1 2024 Playoffs: Dallas Mavericks (0-0) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (0-0)

[KillerLeft]

Now might be a good time to let everyone know I was able to start watching at halftime.

You're welcome!

[Lukedoncic]

Well now we know… Grant Hill believes you should be free to kick opponents in the balls…

[Chicagojk]

Some great passes by Luka. Gafford playing well. Had two tough finishes that he missed. Keep going hard to the rim.

[BolsDamols]

Thats it guys! Beat Wade and the Heat, I mean SGA and the Thunder

[DallasMaverick]

Finally playing some tough D.

Jesus christ. It's obvious the mavs' best strategy is just for Luka to be aggressive. Like thats it

[Chicagojk]

If Chet is out…attack the basket. J-will will take charges but is not a vertical threat. See if we can get the free throws in the second half

Kind of seems like getting physical inside on both ends (if they can do it without fouling) is a gear the Thunder can't match, too. 

Was surprised to see the rebounding numbers when I got home. Need to turn that around for sure.

[BigDirk41]

I guess we just aren't going to guard the 3 point line.

[Scott41theMavs]

And just like that, OKC is up 11 again.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Cut the lead, now OKC's defense has stepped up and they're on a run.

[Chicagojk]

Well OKC made a great response here. Darn.

Lively has struggled. But it won’t matter. If Luka is not Luka it is not going to matter.

[GATA]

Kyrie is awful. Get him out of the game

[BigDirk41]

I'm really disappointed in Luka's play. He's getting punked and doesn't seem to care. His effort is very minimal and he can't seem to score on Dort. Dort has locked him up.

[donzingis38]

Luka's injury might be a lot more serious. He's being too careful

[Mavs2021]

Yeah I was wrong. Ref gave them the necessary confidence, but even without that we can´t beat them if Luka simply cannot shoot due to his knee. We lose at least 10-15 points every game with his horrible shooting.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Mavs look sluggish. OKC has had more time off between games.

[BolsDamols]

A nonchalant Luka is definitely something I wasn't expecting.

Angry, complaining, intense Luka..sure..but this barely cares Luka, in a game like this..I dont know

[donzingis38]

It's not over yet but we seem to always lose game 1

Lot of long rebounds. Hustle plays.
