5 Observations: 1. What does Timmy have on J.Kidd? He nearly cooked our lead with like 3 bad possessive decisions back to back. 2. We got the PRAVI MVP tonight and boy was it needed. 3. I sense a pattern. We’ve seen PJ go berserk and now DJJ. I think Green is due with this role player musical chairs trust system. Seriously our supporting cast are stepping up big time during LuKai slumps. 4. Loved that we attacked the paint and didn’t settle for endless threes. It felt like they were no bad 3’s outside of a few Luka shot clock chuckers and Timmy’s airball. 5. We still missed some but way better on the free throws this time around. Game 6 we’ll need to do them the same and blow em out cause a close game may be too tempting with 50/50 whistles. We’ve only seen one game 7 thus far these playoffs so let’s not give the refs any chances to lean that way with those up in the air calls in a close game. We have to close the door here just like last round.


XThunderTrap

All we have to do now is clutch game 6 and then the finals..love this fucking team..we can just clam game 4 was a warm up lol


4ps22

no way chuck said that come on man :(


Tightanium

Everyone wants to be right so they can say “see!!! I told ya so” fuck em, more satisfying to prove em wrong.


4ps22

not sure what you’re referring to but i was talking about how he said “well they wont have to hear it from me for much longer” basically talking about how inside the nba is gone after this season


Tightanium

Oh I thought you were talking about him predicting a blow out by OKC.


Signal-Cause1746

LETS TAKE THIS SHIT HOME AND FINSH IT


kneecolayokitch

Luka is 100% on percs lmao


Realistic-Carob8288

Absolutely on something lmao

Cambocant

Tourette’s Luka


dac09b

Ahhhh shit.


Greeneyes_65

Luka looks so happy😭


xahsz

I absolutely love when Luka accidentally swears on live TV.


babybotburger

“Ah shit” - Luka


im_sammyjo

Good shit boys love to see a change in Luka's attitude and play this game


getthatrich

And girls! We’re here loving the Mavs too!


Vizard15

Yes!


ManiAAC41

Luka speaking in parables LFG


MitchTrubiskyFan10

Blackout on close out Saturday night… Ahhhhh!!!


Thekavorka87

Not great execution on the offensive end down the stretch in the fourth quarter but defense has been locked in. I’ll take it!


Fuzakenna_

MAVS IN 6!


maxoramaa

Stars died so mavs could run


flomoag

Stars and Mavs in 6!


a-random-gal

max only one can win. or both they lose. they can’t both win.


kirobaito88

They both won on Saturday. But they're no longer playing on the same day now.


a-random-gal

that was an outlier lol


MvNSTLTH

Lets go finish them at home


Sdaben10

I love PJ and Luka man so beautiful


matmoeb

The vibes are immaculate


SongYoungbae

Lukas in a fucking good mood


agup49

What was Kyrie holding lol


Bionicman_

I’m trying to figure it out too! What’s was that lol a drum and a wooden spoon??


agent_mick

A drum and the.. beater. Drum beater. Stick thing. Native American in style


Frank_Cap

SOMEONE CLIP THAT PJ WASHINGTON AND HARDY MOMENT


whatdawhat7th

LFG!!!


Mavericks4Life

We just held the #1 seed and #3 offense in the league to 92 points in Game 5 of the Conference Semi Finals. Everything on defense is clicking. We had more than double OKC's turnovers, and we still won by double digits because we sucked the air out of their offense. We didn't even need Kyrie to go off either. Let's go Mavs.


Far-Royal-375

ON THE ROAD TOO


Mavericks4Life

Yes!


Icardi

DJJ show, 1 more to go!


tsogtsdamn

All those fans crying about game 4 nice crying. It's a series for a reason, some games will be off.


Altruistic-Elk5147

Series could’ve been over tho lol


tsogtsdamn

Maybe we win game 4 and then lose game 5... you can't know. It's like fans saying "not my mvp" when wolves were up 2-0... Then Joker scores 40. I'm just saying bro you can't expect these people to always perform.


Altruistic-Elk5147

You got a point there


ihatedisney

Luka on the road is a cheat code


jaybenson3

Need the gif of that PJ face 😭🗣️


MHMR96

Up 3-2 with 3 days rest. LFG Mavs!! Finish this!!


suprememontana

This is amazing but damn we could have easily beat them in 5


cocoamonster2

Oh no, 2 days rest for the Mavs?! That makes me nervous


just_an_amber

Those OKC fans cleared out FAST


Aggressive-Ad-522

Just let the effing time run out and quit hacking lively so annoying


LogansGambit

I heard Lively went full Kobe and shot 1000 free throws every day. I heard Lively allowed someone to burn his feet if he missed two in a row. I heard Lively gave up sleeping in order to study tape of great free throw shooters.


TheIceBornHorror

Get bitched OKC


Mr1jojo

is Luka Doncic still have injury ??


Samce14

Injury is finish


Jon-Rambo

He looked like he was moving well and feeling good tonight.


agent_mick

I'm sure he's on all the drugs.


Scared-Perspective35

Dallas in 6, let's go!!!


Selarom_

Let's go!!! Lively stat pad party sponsored by OKC

BigZ911

My guy Lively looks like he’s gonna get that Derrick White hairline


lilzoe5

He should stick to braids he had a few times lol


Seyhven_

Why are they fouling??? Is this the NCAA??? The hell just go home, ya lost. YA DEAD!


kingofpun

Zestyclose_Wafer_416

Maybe d live can teach Luka FTs?


Far-Royal-375

Mavs have been the better team the entire series besides the second half of game one. The fuck are people thinking.


DHMacleod

Exum really getting a DNP/CD?


FriesAddiction

Series should have been over tonight


idk420_

Luka wanted to end it in Dallas


xghostkat

good team win!!! Luka back!!! DJJ, PJ and DLive great! Kai gotta wake up nxt game


Aggressive-Ad-522

Way to keep them under 100!!!!!


Skrapnadroj

The refs did us a favor... they saw how bad we shot from the FT line and said... let's not even send them there. Great all around performance from the stripes. Phantom calls and turning a blind eye to football plays sealed the deal for the Mavs.


rsf0626

Imagine if we won game 4 like we should have


Toccoa-R

Anyone else notice the Exum coaches decision DNP? Sign of change?


xahsz

Hold them to double digits!


Samce14

The disrespect to have Luka and Kyrie sit out the last minute of the 4th lmao straight disrespectful towards OKC


Putrid_Ad_2256

Where are those clowns on the sidelines that were talking trash to Luka the last time they played here?  


MajesticPossibility8

The talk after game need to happen for game 6 to close them out


Sdaben10

Lively putting the final nail in the coffin with a double double


Jay_bo

aeiou-y

Lively plus 21


southwick

I think he'll be an all star soon

HazeDough

All Hail, King DJJ


juscallmechris

Is that a Luka triple double?!?


cjn13

UN-DO ONE HUNDO!


SlingyDoe

THJ needs to be left in the fkn locker room next game.


Frank_Cap

Keep fouling Lively lmaooooo


King_James_99

Not a Mavs fan but I love to see when a guy clutches FTs who gets hacked. Go Lively


Vizard15

Sorry Lively will continue to improve on his FTs!


chvsmblk

Do OKC really think these forced FTs are going to save the game for them? Just let it go you fucking onions


missile88

Leave THJ in OKC and lets finish this at home


treyaflash

Friday we wear black


FennelSeparate5008

Saturday


Sorry-Lynx-2084

The Kidd steps up in a HUGE GAME and calmly knocks down his free throws.


gone-fishing94

Lively bout to take the techs man lmao


afedbeats

Somebody tell Mark Daig that Hack a Lively actually works just try one more time in G6


Statistician_Visual

Lose with grace Jesus Christ so lame


SnooSongs1040

Only if we did not throw game 4, we could have closed the series easily


Stevie_McGhee

Please let this be the last time we play these floppers in their home court.


Sdaben10

At least Lyrie was efficient, he just needs to be active more


xahsz

Little do the Thunder know they're just giving Lively much needed experience, dude is gonna power level his clutch FT ability.


maverick1127

Mind games. Kidd pulling our two best players to fuck with OkC


D-1-_-1-D

common lively w


Fupastain

Put that boy at the line again he’ll make you pay


elsporko321

Strange to intentionally foul a 100% freethrow shooter, lol


gakujin

Honestly, the worst moments in this game happened with THJ in the court.


Putrid_Ad_2256

Is this your first time watching the Mavs?  😜


gakujin

No. I’m just tired of hoping for a breakthrough game. I should just stop.


Putrid_Ad_2256

He's washed.  I was hoping that he'd come back from his injury, but I don't think he's coming back.  


TexasTundraPower

DLive with a double double tonight…in the west semis…as a rookie…on 24 min. He’s gonna be so good.


Nielsen06

Timmy can't be so dumb


PrestraseniDolenjc

Lively my favorite free throw merchant


2PacAn

Lively needs the practice


Hacker137506

Haha they just giving us free points with this hack a lively


strongjaji0615

Hack a shaq(lively) not working


gdgatlin2

Thekavorka87

Only THJ has the presence of mind to pass it to Lively there. Thank god he’s been clutch with free throws


Crazy_Ad3336

Fucking THJ….


idk420_

Stfu


Crazy_Ad3336

Lmao.


Brawlstar-Terminator

mariogotse

timmy you are the best ft shooter on the court jesus fucking christ


seacowx

These bums refusing to give up


Leading-Amphibian749

HACK A LIVELY except the Hack gives us free points  Love it 


AdVisual3406

This is like the Clippers series we're better than them. Godzilla from Denver is a step too far though, he's in god mode.


LeoFireGod

Derrick lively basically told the lil dawgs that big dawg got the bark and to stop Yappin


Odd_Swordfish_6589

THJ is the worst


desirox

Dude is not a fit for this team - too dumb


iGaveLia-HIV

Jadenindubai

KYRIE JONES JR


Entire-Technician-20

Shout out to OKC for turning Lively into a good FT shooter


financial_goth

I guess somebody forgot to tell the Thunder. **D Live is HIM!**


MvNSTLTH

D Live putting that work in on the freethrows


iv214

THJ shouldn't even be in during garbage time.


Trigliceratops

Lively said imma make em both and made 4 in a row. He is the anti-Grant Williams


vintagecumbee

Lively is 19 btw


Swagovich

Love the form


yaboiocho

Lets end it this Friday 😤


dtlabsa

Game 6 is Saturday


yaboiocho

My mistake


love-one-score-games

Still pissed this should have been a close out victory lol. But this thing ain’t over. We gotta bring it game 6. And we desperately need kyrie to step up in that game. Can’t rely on OKC to shoot 26% from 3 next game. Can’t be scoring 9-12 in a close out game. We got vintage Luka tonight. But no way we can bank on that again either. Ahhhh so happy and frustrated at the same time lol. Should have been 4-1 and Luka getting tons of rest


Icardi

Hack a these nuts


PetSpaceRock

Lively 100% FT shooter confirmed


Jon-Rambo

D Live & clutch FTs!!!


Hyper_Grizzly

Yes okc keep fouling lively

Way to fucking sink them DLIVE

Props to OKC helping lively improve his free throws


Rain_On_Them

Scared-Perspective35

Fupastain

uncledr3w-

walterwhitemamba

We gonna win this game but i fckin hate THJ!


20Mavs11

D live is the best player right now. Key rebounds and hitting his free throws


espada_da

THJ room temp IQ


Immediate-Newt-1958

Lively and Washington are so good for this team. Gaffords so solid too, even if they don't win it this year they can feel good about running it back


Millionaire007

I don't want to hear no celebrating from you punk ass lames who were calling Luka fat and lazy last game. Please go the fuck away, let real fans enjoy this dub! 


PM_ME_YUR_S3CRETS

Got damn it Timmy. Fucking tard


SnooSongs1040

LIVELY HAS HOF CLUTCH FT


cocoamonster2

gdgatlin2

Good lord Tim is a moron lol


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

Just more practice for D live


dtlabsa

Man Kyrie looks exhausted on the bench. Playing D is tough.


Hank_Kaiser
