GAME 5: OKC (3-3) @ DAL (2-3) | 111-117 OT loss

Wood's been meh tonight.  This is easily McGee's best game.

Agree. It all makes sense now. They signed McGee to motivate Powell and it is clearly working.

[Chicagojk]

Kinda hilarious that the Mavs added McGee and Wood. Only to have Powell and Kleber playing more minutes than both.

Ha.  The end lineup looked the best all game.  At the same time, I was a little depressed.  Looked like the same lineup when Ko was out late year just minus Jalen.

Cuban followed the team into the locker room at half with Powell's extension in hand.

[dirkfansince1998]

Just way better chemistry with Powell. Screens are great. Timing is on point.

Powell´s face getting it done.

THERE’S Downhill Dinwiddie!

Powell drawing a foul fighting with three orange shirts in the paint for a rebound.

Powell is limited and not very good protecting the rim but he always plays hard.  I would much prefer his deficiencies over Someone not playing hard.  Hopefully McGee can play like Powell but bigger.

[dirkfansince1998]

Luka is shooting 25% from the field. Mavs 21% from 3. That´s an instant L on most nights.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

76ers desperately need a backup to Embiid. Trade McShaqtin to Philly.

[Jym]

This is the Powell that lead the team in winshares last year

[KillerLeft]

Christian Wood is single-handedly making me love post ups again. He might be top 5 in the league down there.

[dirkfansince1998]

Unforced errors!!! Would be 20 push ups or 10$ every single time in reck league.

[DrMav]

Some real bad ball being played right now

Yuck

[SwisherPrice]

Playing so soft...OKC knows the Mavs can't score on them if they are ice cold from three

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Kidd left the lineup in too long and waited too long to call the timeout again

[dirkfansince1998]

Worst minutes Luka has played this season. Combined with all time bad 3-point shooting.

[Jym]

Luka needs to come out of the game earlier in the 1st and the 3rd if we're going to ride him so hard
Doesn't make much sense to play him the full 12

[KillerLeft]

If I were a Thunder fan watching this, I might think Luka passed up that layup (2 inches from the rim) in favor of the trick pass to the corner because he knows he’s one assist shy of a triple double.

[cow]

Thunder have so many bodies to throw at Luka.

[dirkfansince1998]

DFS and Bullock combined 5-11 from 3. Rest of the team 0-18.

[Chicagojk]

Just way too Luka dependent.  Season will not go well if this is the workload for him.  It is not sustainable.
