Omax playing well is such a feel good story. It looks like something clicked for him.

Let’s see when Luka comes back if he can start getting into a groove. They are defending him well so far.

Potentially one of the best defenses of all-time, soon. It scares me a little, to be honest.

Second good run for him. Let’s see if it can continue. The role he is playing is going to make it hard not to give him minutes.

Man-style scoop and drive by Gafford. Respect.

Grimes hasn’t found his rhythm yet with the quick fouls. Good drive but they’ll call that an offensive foul wont they?

Why is Kidd leaving Gaff out there?

I’m happy the Mavericks are hanging in there, but these turnovers are tough to watch.
RE: Game 25: Dallas Mavericks (16-8) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (18-5) | 8:30pm CST - MarkAguirreWrathofGod - 12-10-2024
Can’t believe we are only down 6.

Marshall is balling

Lively needs to learn to be stronger with the ball.
RE: Game 25: Dallas Mavericks (16-8) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (18-5) | 8:30pm CST - KillerLeft - 12-10-2024
Luka, too, I guess. Geez.
RE: Game 25: Dallas Mavericks (16-8) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (18-5) | 8:30pm CST - GATA - 12-10-2024
More Marshall and Grimes in the second half, less Dinwiddie and Gafford
RE: Game 25: Dallas Mavericks (16-8) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (18-5) | 8:30pm CST - KillerLeft - 12-10-2024
I can’t believe it’s this close.
Terrible games from Luka, Kyrie and Lively. Turnovers galore. Thank goodness for Marshall, and I thought Thompson was pretty decent.
I feel like they might have a chance if they can figure out how to make OKC pay for this overly aggressive defense.
RE: Game 25: Dallas Mavericks (16-8) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (18-5) | 8:30pm CST - MarkAguirreWrathofGod - 12-10-2024
Man I’d like to see Lively kick that to an open Kai in the corner rather than challenge two guys at the rim.

He didn’t see it. Too freaked out about the constant ball swiping. Games like this are good for him, because they show him what’s left to learn.
But yeah, probably would’ve been tie game at half.

Fun game. Not perfect by either team but both teams are playing hard. Need to reduce the turnovers in the second half. Just puts you at too much at a disadvantage.

I was adamant about this during last years playoffs too, but Joe can be exploited defensively. They have to bring him into every p’n’r action.

Worst half on offense from Lively in a long time. Hartenstein is a very good C though. Physically tough and athletic but also good hands and a smart player. I refused to watch & root for him a bit over the years bc he’d never show up for the german national team but he’s clearly a huge upgrade for them.
Caruso was also a smart pickup.

The Thunder are playing us like the little brother trying badly to prove something to the big brother.
