  1. Man OKC better hope the Sonics get picked for an expansion team or they will never lose the curse!

  2. Denver and Minnesota are too big and skilled for Dallas. Who’s gonna guard Kat? PJ? gg. lively gonna guard joker, good luck. bad matchups for dallas.

  3. If OKC hadnt challenged PJ's free throws, they wouldve had a timeout to get a better final shot.

    Even if they won the challenge, dallas would still have 2 pts from Kyrie's put back layup on PJ's airball

  4. I feel bad for sga ,that guy so consistent, through 6 games he really scored 29+ consecutively 🔥

    Man mvp mode for me💪🏻

  5. Derrick jones jr. and pj Washington 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t expect what they brought these last 2 games for sure idk what got into them 😂😂😂

  6. 2:32 Kidd helping jones up and the one in the end where the first person Lively shared his win with was his mother. Lets go Mavs!

  7. 1:11 man why of foul? its legal in gsw tho? really refs trying tier best to Affect the game to strechts it till game 7 . but on this one theg fail literaly lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  8. Shout out to Lively playing his ass off for his mom
    Camera on him looking up to her made me wanna cry man RIp Mom let’s go Mavs

  9. OKC OUTREBOUNDED AGAIN..this time by 15. Lively and Gafford and Washington and..Mavs didnt even have inj-prone Kleber for series. Almost impossible to win with that. SO, heres idea. DRAFT ZACH EDEY and move Holmgren to forward. Now that has a nice boards and paint points look with Shae getting more chances to roam freely.
    (btw, Edey and GSA and Dort played for Canada together World Cup team last year (bronze)..Dillon Brooks and RJ Barrett will be back, Nickeil-Alexander Walker, Olynyk too w/ stud Jamaal Murray appearing if healthy enough, Pacers Andrew Nembhard and maybe even B. Mathurin if recovered enough and others for Canada Sept Olympics)

  10. Can't believe it came down to free-throws for dallas…and made them.
    I would love to see Kyrie vs Celtics……and Luka vs Porzingis…

  11. Luca is a cry baby. He complains during the whole game. Danny Ainge reincarnated. Play basketball and stop complaining

  12. The Crowd holds their breath for PJW ft and released when he got the 2nd. What a game for Dallas! Now Pelicans could leave this season with peace of mind😂
