yeaaahhh babyyyy

[Mavs2021]

First game one win in the Kidd era. Overcoming a 6/25 3-point shooting performance.

Yeah crazy we stole this game.

Luka was a superstar in the 4th and brought this home like he's supposed to. Props to Luka and the whole Mavs team. I'm personally happy for Luka though with the playoffs he's had.

Nice win. Even though it was a bad call it was a stupid ass play by Josh.

[Mavs2021]

Also good to see focused Luka. Hopefully he learned his lesson. If he´s focused, we are dangerous.

18 threes to 6

We have the two best players in this series. That’s how.

[Chicagojk]

Great win. Kyrie got it started, Luka took them home. Mavs didn't shoot the threes well but made the big ones. PJ again delivered a huge three. If I was an alien and didn't know, I would think Lively is the defensive player of the year and not Gobert.

Dog shit dinosaur giving up the lob and three on consecutive possessions...

Gafford had a bad game but that 3-point make by KAT was about 30 feet away from the basket.  I don't think we want Gafford aggressively trying to defend that shot.  

Gafford was bad tonight though.  I think this will likely be a bad series for him and Dwight Powell might be able to help us some.

The New Mavericks can win ugly.

That was some crazy play down the stretch. That PJ to DJJ pass and catch was a low key (dumb) play of the game. Flight 55 earned a raise just on that one play. Nice pass off to Kyrie before the foul too. PJ has no conscious. It seems to work out most of the time.

[SkenfromLMF]

My fear was that Dallas has had to dig for game 2’s. I did not want to lose a close game one and give Minny the ability to make the adjustments to go down 0-2!

[raf]

wolves shot really well and mavs didnt and mavs still won

[GATA]

Ugly win

[fifteenth]

Ugly win

It was beautiful. Absolutely sublime.

Y'all are wild for dogging Gafford. He played fine.
