Long Quote:
“I’m going to show my respect and say that he’s a great player. But tonight, in the first half, there wasn’t really a rhythm for a lot of players out there. It was a lot of slow down, watching free throws being taken, and adjusting to the way the game was being called. It felt like a regular season game tonight, in my perspective.
I don’t speak for anyone else, but I think it was like a regular season game because we came off a very physical series against the LA Clippers, then we had some fouls called, and some of them may have been fouls or a majority of them. But as a competitor, you want the flow of the game to feel like the playoffs, with high physicality. It just feels better.
It’s all about adjustments. It’s about continuing to stay positive through some of the runs they make and being mature about who we’re going against – a good team that’s shown it all year. They have a starting five with a plus-minus through the roof and one of the top defenses. So, we’ll give them credit, but we have to come into game two ready and prepared.”

Kyrie aint wrong..you breath with in SGA its a foul
Translation: Shai is a foul baiting bitch and I’m sick of his shit as much as I’m sick of Harden’s
Any small scratch or bruise will hurt his modelling career
A response to the guy who commented and deleted that both Luka and Shai have similar ftas (regular season):
Not all fouls are equal!! If you call touch fouls for one player while the other gets hit multiple times to get the same amount of fouls, sure the number of fouls may be the same but they are not equal.
The refs dictated that the mavs cannot touch shai in the first half!!
Most of the fouls on SGA in first half aren’t called 99% in these playoffs. It’s just stupid that not all games are called the same. You could see our players being surprised and it impacted how we played.
And it wasn’t the first game like that. Incosistency of the refs is a big problem and has impacted a lot of games in regulae season and playoffs (not just Mavs). The sams happened to Denver, when they allowed Minnesota to just foul all the time. Denver didn’t adapt quick enough and it was over. The next game they might call all of the same situations and Minnesota playees will be in shock.
