  1. The Luka heliocentric system does not win championships.A conference finals is this teams ceiling.He is useless without the ball on both ends.

  2. We didn't lose the game because of the officiating. We lost the first half because of the officiating. Instead of being down 10 at halftime, it should have been tied.

    If the thunder are gonna shoot like they did from 3 in the second half, then we're gonna get swept. But the first half was like a pre season officiated game. Ridiculous

  3. This game wasn't even called in a way that lets the Thunder be as physical as usual…If Shae didn't shoot a free throw… Dallas still would have lost…

  4. It’s very simple, but maybe impossible. Luka has to be physically right. Face it, if he can’t play like the Luka we know, it’s over.

  5. Brunson is better than Luka. If only because he is more durable. Luka's body just doesn’t hold up come playoff time. Brunson is the real deal.

  6. Why are we complaining about the referees and not the fact we were out rebounded, fastbreak points, 3pt shooting, Luka's shooting, bench scoring ….. complaing about referees is for LOSERS

  7. For everyone saying the officiating didn’t affect the outcome of the game, here’s my rebuttal. It completely changed the way Dallas played defense from the 2nd quarter on. The same defense that has won them a lot of their games. PJ got in foul trouble QUICK and without Maxi it forced some very strange line up rotations. Also taking the ball out of the basket and playing against a set defense after gifting them 2 points is WAY different than getting a rebound and playing in transition. These are all little things that add up over the course of a whole game and can easily swing the score heavy in favor of the beneficiary. Let’s say it happens 5 times in a game… that’s a potential 30 point swing and it’s hard to quantify the momentum shifts that also happen. Bottom line… the refs need to call games consistently and not give certain players touch fouls and not others. I’m sorry, but if you gave big men the same whistle SGA got they’d shoot free throws every time they got the ball. Frustrating stuff… mavs in 6

  8. How about the fact Luka being injured and can't move on defense affects the defense when he gets BLOWN BY, forcing the defense to rotate opening up 3pt shots for the team that led the league in 3pt shooting????

  9. The toxicity. So if Luka wins you games, he's Pravi MVP. But as soon as he struggles and play hurt, he's the reason for the lost? They won't be in this position without him doing what he does. So either you trust him or shut up. It gets frustrating but it's the same player that got you wins and brought the team here.

  10. Its not the end of the world fpr Mavs. Use your advantages to against their disadvantage . Luka shooting selection must be more careful , no onger need to make stepback three. Take more higher shooting rate on mid range shoot and attack the rim.
