I said each win would be brutal but this was ridiculously hard. I was mad at all the things going against us but it is always good to know the Mavericks will keep coming no matter what happens and they know the incredible fortitude it takes to withstand everything and just keep coming.
As for Tony Brothers I think it is all about how he believes the game can be played. He allows defenders tremendous latitude to grab and impede offensive players. The Thunder do well with this as shown by the records under Brothers posted earlier in this thread. They can turn the Mavs over because they know their fouls won’t be called. The more I watched and rewatched the more evidence I found. It is frustrating to me and to Luka.
I do think Luka learned by talking to Brothers tonight. He stopped the kind of things that OKC was able to cheat on in the 2nd half. Maybe the coaches helped. Our key will be put more strategy in place to not give them the opportunity to foul when the calls aren’t being made. We stop the turnovers we may take this whole thing.
