NBA GameTime | “Dallas is team capable of win NBA Finals” – Shaq praises Mavericks win over Nuggets
Time presented by KIA after an NBA Sunday with just a dash of March Madness Matt Wier with national champions Isaiah Thomas and Greg Anthony Lots who lots happening around the league Sunday we’ll start with the Champs in Dallas third final then it’s yic look at this fine Gordon nice D so pretty Jamal
Murray turns the corner high off the glass under pull Denver up by three at halftime third quarter Luca donic finds Kyrie Irving from the wing and then Kyrie always has something waiting for a finish and for the finish of this game as it turned out donic step back
Three Mavericks fans love it Mark Cuban loves it Dallas up by nine donic hesitation finish 37 on the afternoon cavius cwell pop big bucket Champs back within three yic no help for donic no chance help yic had 1611 and seven assists then it’s Murray the three to put the Nuggets
Up 105 102 part of a 20 to4 run he had 23 Luca answers game tied at 105 Denver had an empty possession and then it’s Kyrie going to work yic out on the islands Kyrie to his left and somehow with that running Lefty offhand hook are you kidding me that’s beautiful just
Difficulty on that gamewinner is absurd third career game-winning buzzer beater for Irving is the Mavs win for the fifth time in six games League reacted just like we did WOW skill yes what does MF mean sorry M Tyreek so so tough is right this this shot was unbelievably difficult these
Are from some very highly skilled players heaping prise Talent heing prise just amazing give us a sense of how hard that shot is it it it it’s almost it it’s one you know it’s impossible for for most people and that’s why you saw you know okay he he comes off the curl
He’s guarded by a seven-footer and he’s shoots a left-handed hook shot from the foul line and not only does he shoot it he looks it all the way in follow through and like bam how impossible that shot was that he made but also the accuracy of it and it wasn’t luck like
That you you can see that was like okay extension follow through look it in okay y’all surprised I’m not left hand how you doing he’s he’s always been great with his off hand but from that distance wow that’s hard remember the famous Magic Johnson junor Skyhook at the 87
Finals this was so much harder a shot well the other thing too he understood because of jokic’s angle he couldn’t get back to his right hand so he had already determined with the clock running down that he was going to have to shoot that little leftand hook going away and even
Yic still had a pretty good contest on that that’s just an incredible shot to have the confidence to take it in that moment and then be able to deliver when this game was at I think it was 107 102 uh or 105 102 I thought it was over
After the Murray after the Murray big three so for then Luca to get an A sideline out of bounds after timeout uncontested three that’s a huge middle Mistake by the Nuggets then wasted possession and then Kyrie’s able to pull that shot off that that was you what
Amazing the the the great players always find a way to get open yeah and and and and the coach comes to the bench and say hey don’t let this guy get open don’t let this guy and the defense is designed to stop them and the great players
Always find a way to get open and it just seems like they’re by the S and everybody like how’ that guy get open well he’s he’s that great Mavericks are one of those teams fighting to get out of the playin spots in the Western Conference they’re a flawed team
Certainly on the defensive end but shots like that what Luc could do at the end of the game that scares you if you’re an opponent in a playoff Ser all right to Milwaukee where the Suns wrapped up a 4 game Road Trip yanis Deo sitting out with a hamstring issue Chris Middleton
Though was back after missing 16 games with an ankle issue the Middleton guys looked really good I tell you it’s it’s I was shocked he’d been out that long he didn’t show any rust really was a huge impact in this game look at that finish from Dame speaking of Ms with skills
Mofo Booker attacks the basket still got to clarify what that means Booker with 23 game tied of 34 then bobby poris gets going I mean Bobby poris is the MF yeah not not only did he get going but you know we talked about how the great players find a way to just
Be open all the time I mean he was wide open and huie brown referenced it a couple of times that you know hey somebody better guard him at least get close Bobby por has had the feeling 25 in the first half most by any player Off the Bench and a half this season
Meanwhile the Bucks hit 18 threes in the first half ties an NBA record 18 18 threes in one half they had 82 at the half led by 22 Suns turn it over here it’s Middleton who finished 8 of 15 from the field for 22 points Milwaukee pulling away here come the Suns trying
To make things happen after the turnover it’s the former Buck Grayson Allen moved from Milwaukee 2 Phoenix in the off season came back with 25 and then it’s f Bradley with a team High 28 and it’s a dozen Point margin at that point but you know what check your watches synchronize
Yeah nobody’s prettier at getting to their pullup than Dame L he’s incredible bux 24 of 41 from three-point range poris with the easy one Lillard with another three 31 and a career-high tying 16 assists Milwaukee did everything right but the blue uniforms on St Patrick’s Day they’re now 9 and3 since
The All-Star break after hitting the Suns with the most points they’ve given up this season nothing new for Milwaukee though they’ve scored 149 times this season and won each one I mean obviously you you look at our team and I think one of our biggest strengths is our depth
And um you know BP is a starter or you know any other team but I think for our team he knows what his job is so when you you down a guy like Giannis you know that everybody’s going to have to step their game up and we’ve been in this
Situation a couple times this year and every time he’s he’s come through and delivered you know we know who he is and I knew that as well so coming into the game I knew I wouldn’t have to come out here and try to overdo it uh just keep
The defense honest feed him feed everybody else and then pick my spots and be aggressive but uh before the game we talked in lock room we knew what it was and uh he came through and delivered crazy for a franchise that once employed Oscar Robertson but this
Was the first 30o 15 assist game in Bucks history and it just goes to show you how great Dame is in in terms of being being able to deliver this performance tonight and and here we are in the pick and roll and there’s definitely miscommunication here Phoenix
Gets confused get mixed up he takes the easy layup reverse it on the other side and then coming down Court this is like a layup Line This is what we we practice right side left side he just drives straight to the basket lays it up and is
He unselfish yes he can make the easy to for himself but he’s got it going he looks in the corner finds his teammate Knocks down four three and then okay you get trapped they send two at you automatically you put the ball behind the trap now we got three versus two
What does get small small small people in the back I think I just go pick Pi another layup over the over the small guys I mean you know Dane played great Milwaukee was awful I mean awesome but the three-point defense for the Phoenix Suns was awful and the last two of the
Last three games Phoenix has given up 25 threes and then tonight 24 threes they give up 25 against Boston 24 against Milwaukee they got to find a way to fix a three-point defensive liability yeah and listen you get the sense that Milwaukee is trending in the right
Direction right and the flip of that to your point with with the threes and the thing about defense it’s about disrupting timing and spacing basketball’s A Game of Rhythm and Phoenix allows you to get rhythm in the three because if you notice those they’re not like where somebody’s making
You uncomfortable you’re catching it you’re having time to spot up we call those shooting game shots yeah and and so the fact that they’re not giving the effort to try to run you off the three or to at least make you uncomfortable on the attempt that’s got to be concerning
For Frank vogle and his staff because from a defensive standpoint yeah they’ve got some offensive Firepower but you’re not going to have success in postseason if your defense your defensive intensity doesn’t raise and Lillard like Kyrie Irving was a master finisher I knew I’d Crack the Code sooner or later h spee spee
Spee oh round to meet to Victory Victory is still an enemy your team has destroyed a tower an enemy has been defeated round to meated an enemy Victory is for the Victory an enemy has been defeated breath an ally has been ultimate you have been defeated let’s fight for a better
Future has been defeated take my spear you have defeated an enemy let’s for better future you have defeated an enemy enemy Ultimate Enemy double kill shut down to victory victory an ally has been defeated f
