GAME 1 2024 Playoffs: Dallas Mavericks (0-0) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (0-0)

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Stars get to the line.

[ThisIStheYear]

Luka strangely passive. SGA not even playing well but dominating Luka right now.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

11 fts for SGa

[donzingis38]

we're not winning this with all these soft calls

[ThisIStheYear]

Mavs need to cut off this penetration. Their bigs are left on an island and getting in foul trouble.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Bad shot Luka

[SwisherPrice]

Yeah that might be game...there's no way the NBA was going to let OKC lose tonight with SGA most likely being announced as the MVP and accepting the award in front of the home crowd for game 2

[Chicagojk]

Really disappointing start. Not Clippers bad but this may get ugly if the Mavs stars don’t step up

[Luka77]

22 FT attempts for OKC, nuts

[BigDirk41]

I've never been a blame the refs guy, but this is so ridiculous.

[Luka77]

How was that not over the back on Williams?

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Yeah that might be game...there's no way the NBA was going to let OKC lose tonight with SGA most likely being announced as the MVP and accepting the award in front of the home crowd for game 2

Hyperbole much?

[Luka77]

SGA on pace for 20+ FT attempts.

[Mavs2021]

Really disappointing start.  Not Clippers bad but this may get ugly if the Mavs stars don’t step up

Nobody is beating this OKC team at home. SGA gets one BS call after another. Gotta love Ant. He called this SGA BS months ago. Obviously helps a lot as a young team, when you can foul yourself out of any problems on both ends of the floor. No reason to be nervous then. This league. All play-offs teams are allowed to play physical, but not against the puppets.

[speedkilz88]

When the ref ignores the obvious, it's not a mistake.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

The most blatant over the back imaginable. No other players even in the play to block the refs view.

[GATA]

Kyrie worst player on the floor. Thunder abusing him

[Chicagojk]

Need to power through but it is ugly with the free throws.

Some nice Green minutes. still the same Hardaway. Need kyrie and Luka to get going.

[ThisIStheYear]

Officiating isn’t the problem. Mavs can’t keep SGA out of the paint so he’s going to draw a foul. That’s his thing. The Mavs need to keep him in front of them. Mostly, Luka is throwing up a stinker. If he wants to be a great player, it’s on him to win the series. He really hasn’t had a truly great game in the entire playoffs. Disappointing postseason for him so far. This last half was even worse than normal. This is a winnable game. Thunder are rusty. This will be the worst game they play in the series.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Dallas is turning it over too much. That's why they're losing.
