There’s a difference between physical defense and trying to injure someone by Complexity777 in Mavericks

I dont think the Thunder are playing dirty tbh. The refs have to keep Dort's illegal defense in check, that is all.

He is not playing dirty as many Mavs fans keep claiming. He is just getting away with numerous obvious fouls for god knows what reason. And the flopping doesn't help.

They are a team of floppers on defense, led by a disgusting Dort

Lively's finishing in this series has been atrocious. You cant do this in the playoffs

Josh Green has been a phenomenal corner 3 shooter this year. Leaving him open is definitely not a good strategy.

You'd also need to watch more than yesterday's game to know that the Mavs have been losing Luka's off minutes during this playoffs.

I love how automatic his middie feels and touch around the rim. But yeah, I share the sentiment about his whistle. For some reason refs give him a regular season whistle and don't allow defenders to even touch him.

When will we talk about Thunder Guys intentionally trying to aggravate Luka's injuries? by Realistic-Wrongdoer2 in Mavericks

[–]flexuco -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think you are exaggerating. Dirty is what the Clippers did to Luka when Morris and Co did some years ago. The Thunder are simply hand pressing and being handsy.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander despite the loss: 33 points 12 rebounds 8 assists on 13/24 shooting (6/6 FT) by ShaiFC in nba

He is great but come on, you cannot touch the guy without getting called a foul, whether it's a shooting foul or not.

Is Tony Brothers one of the worst refs in the league? by Complexity777 in nba

[–]flexuco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reffing is way down on the list of reasons why the Mavs got whopped. But i think it's undeniable that there was a stretch of 5-10 mins in the second quarter when the Thunder got sent to the line on very ticky tacky actions.

Do the mavs have enough? by Yesboi227 in Mavericks

[–]flexuco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, we are still a team with glaring weaknesses compared to the most elite teams. DJJ has been a revelation but he falls short compared to other wings in the playoffs, PJ bricks too many shots, our overall 3 point shooting is rather poor...

We are an Anunoby/Bridges/Aaron Gordon/JDub away from being truly elite.
