Who should the Mavericks be hoping for, Nuggets or Timberwolves?

[@dmulumba26]

To be completely honest, I don’t think it matters. I think either team beats Dallas in 5 or 6.

[@nextmove1428]

​@dmulumba26 that's what I am thinking. I think the champion is coming out of the Denver/Minnesota series if everyone stays healthy.

[@edwardbates2559]

Dallas is getting swept by either team lol

If Murray is hurt DENVER.

[@rockysalvatore435]

3:21 how is this loser an MVP candidate. Please I beg you to make a reaction video to his ft calls. Start a fundraiser for it to see. He's trash

[@perezfrimpong424]

The reason it wasn’t overturned is because PJ still had control of the ball and was in his upward shooting motion when shai made contact with the arm, if the ball had been released prior to the contact it would have been overturned.

[@MrBufellow]

Yeah, they addressed this during the game. You can get all ball but if the guy doesn't let go of the ball and then you wack him on the arm before he lets go...it's a foul.

[@Says_me]

Agreed. I think the additional arm contact after the ball contact, impacted shot quality. I say it was a good call

[@melanatedgod5337]

Idk why people can't understand this.

[@jorgealafriz]

But Arnett quoted RJ incompletely. Drove the point towards the opposite direction.

[@remmborn8154]

Yeh. PJ double clutching instead of shooting immedietly won them the game

[@fireshadowblade9]

We all know how Dallas has historically missed out on great centers. Mavs fans should be thrilled that they drafted Lively, an awesome center with all-star potential, he's for sure been a top 5 rookie this year

[@mentalmadness2192]

He needs so much more work on his offense, he's being left wide open so many times and he doesn't shoot in those moments. At one moment in this series, he tried a not so much contested baby hook with a smaller defender and it was almost an airball. Great rim runner, lob threat and rim protector with a high motor already, but as of now he reminds me a bit of Tyson Chandler. As of now, I see a solid contributor for years to come, but not an All-Star.

[@TrueGuardify]

@@mentalmadness2192 I agree with everything although he's still a rookie at the end of the day. Give him an offseason to work on his interior game. By the end of his rookie contract we'll have a better idea of what he'll be but even reaching "Tyson Chandler" level would be amazing for the Mavs, guy was a DPOY.

[@jlui21]

@@mentalmadness2192 -- Agree. Tyson Chanderl was a 10-10 kind of guy with excellent defense. If Lively ends up being 15-10-1-1, I think that's a win. 20-12-2-1.5? That's gravy. And 25-12-2-1.5, that's heart clogging gravy.

[@corey2232]

Did people not see that even if there was no foul, the Mavs caught the ball & IMMEDIATELY put it into the basket? Also, OKC got a FREE EXTRA POSSESSION late in the 4th quarter on an awful out of bounds call! The Thunder player shot it and it hit the backboard, no Mavs player touching it, and it went out. The refs called it out on the Mavs! Even the announcers pointed out how bad it was, but the Mavs were out of timeouts.

[@seanwarner9893]

The shot didn't get released until the foul occurred which is why there was still a foul. Also, Lively got called for a moving screen which ended Mavs posession, then Dort commited the same moving screen but it was called on Mavs which gave OKC a free throw and the ball instead of the Mavs having another possession in the plays directly before this. There were bad calls on both sides all game but the Mavs definitely got the worse end of the game not being called the same for each team.

[@shaft9000]

I hardly care as I'm in L.A., buuut it looked awfully fishy As if "blocking a shot" isn't blocking a shot. Claiming that _"the ball has to go somewhere if it's blocked!"_ is a waffle and a plainly stupid "rule". To block is to _impede movement_ first and foremost, and it always has meant that. THINK, people, ffs.

OKC was getting every whistle in that game, so I’m not fussed with the FTs at the end for Dallas

[@MCLSD_]

As a Mavs fan, Luka’s complaining is NEVER justified. NEVER. You’re better than every single player on the court. Get back up, make a move, and show them why you’re an MVP candidate.

[@yewotheu8434]

Kyrie got the outback either way

[@Nice-sm5hr]

Watch closely how the ref notices the foul and then doesn’t blow the whistle until he looks over and sees Kyrie is there for the putback. The logic is that it’s better to roll the dice on PJ’s FTs than give Kyrie the 2 automatic points. Daigneault just made a mistake challenging the play. He could’ve called the timeout and in the worst of worst cases, Mavs only would’ve been up by 2 and OKC would’ve had the ball at half court

[@MRAVERAGE-gh4qw]

That's what I have been saying people act like the refs helped the Mavs on that play when they took 2 points away and added more time back to the clock for OKC

I thought when they ruled the play a foul they said it was because the ball wasn't leaving his hands yet before the arm hit happened?

[@jonnyarnett]

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if I had it mixed up. The telecast was awful, sounded like Richard Jefferson was talking over the ref as he was addressing the replay

@@jonnyarnettyep Tony brothers and the broadcast team were trying to explain the same thing at THE SAME time😂 and it comes out as a mess

[@phillipschuman4307]

That is what happened (as slo mo showed), and what they said. It had happened the other way on a Luka shot, where he got the shot off and then there was the contact on his arm (ruled incidental), but after the ball left his hand. So no foul. But in this case, the shot wasn't off his hand, so the contact to the elbow affected the shot.

[@mullymullyt]

Crazy thing is, I just made a Dereck Lively build a week ago on 2k... definitely droppin it tomorrow

[@jeshely]

There was nothing controversial about that call. They explained the rule clearly and you obviously missed it. When Shai hit PJ in the arm he hasn’t released the shot yet, thus IT IS a foul by the book. Had Shai hit the ball after PJ release it and then got him in the arm then it is deemed incidental. It was all explained in the broadcast and you were clearly not paying attention.

The western conference finals is going to come down to officiating. The NBA owes the Mavs for 2005.

[@melanatedgod5337]

2006* lol.

[@split_head_776]

I see no problem with the outcome. OKC was the least likely to win it all out of the 4 remaining West teams. They beat the injured pelicans and struggled againts a hobbled Luka. The refs even allowed them to mug Luka the entire series. They should not complain about officiating cause not only was it in their favor, but their best player relies on initiating contact to live on the line.

[@sjc4]

Why is everyone still shtting on the team that won the series?! Kyrie balances Luka, who still has some maturing to do. I'm proud of how Nico built this team

[@Irfanhill]

I prefer OKC to the Mavs but I still thought the refs really hurt the Mavs way more than the Thunder during this game. I feel like the Mavs were clearly the better team in that game, especially in the interior sector. Luka did not have a great game by his standards, the refereeing frustrated him a lot, but found his playmaking later. Kyrie was disappointing most of the game. The Williams did not impress me for OKC too.

[@DJCinthaBoy]

Fair call, ball went straight to Kyrie anyway, Mavericks were clearly better the whole series. Thunder should be proud and come back swinging next year

[@jioreyes5838]

I like this format it sounds more natural

[@ezraprzytyk]

It's a foul because pj didn't release the ball. The rule book says if pj would have released the ball before contact with the arm, it wouldn't have been a foul but because he still had the ball in his hand when there was contact with his arm its a foul

[@HathMurl]

It's a team effort and the Mavs are working brilliantly as a team right now

[@inchanted3179]

[@mykronesian4430]

Im just glad Dallas shut up the media...everyone was talking about Kyrie not mixing well with Luka..also that his former teammates got better teams (Durant Suns and Harden Clippers)..then everyone counting them out against the super stacked Clippers and the young OKC...now they're in the West Finals😂

[@alexanderlyons4807]

I've been saying this all season and especially through the playoffs, SGA literally refuses to drop more than 32 points XD. He always gets there, but he never exceeds it which is so crazy to me.

[@dominiquewashington2553]

Call all these big KZbinrs out because none of them ever mention how the refs always kill Dallas momentum with bs calls or letting Dort have 15 fouls a game

[@SDesWriter]

That call did not decide the game because if the whistle hadn’t been blown, Kyrie caught the errant shot and put it back in with no one there to challenge him so the Mavericks win with a layup at the buzzer.

[@burrdaddy]

I would love to watch an entire NBA without players throwing their hands in the air and eyeballing the refs. Grown men acting like children is hard to watch. However, these younger crews like Okc and Minnesota are playing the game the right way. Same with Denver and a few others. Great to see. I feel like we all got fooled by Durant, Westbrook, LeBron, Harden - players that just can't commit to playing both ends or team ball.

As a Mavs fan Luka complain far to much, and is unbearable to watch at times what a petulant whiny child he can be. Lively is amazing and so glad they drafted him (tanking does work sometimes), and now that they are facing the T'Wolves I think the Wolves win in 5......................6 at most.

Yeah, but if you watch it back, the whistle came a little bit before that, which is why some OKC players stopped. If that whistle doesn’t happen, Kyrie might not have that easy layup

As a Bulls fan who witnessed that infamous game, I'm not haunted by that call, but by the fact that so many people don't want to call out that these phantom fouls or no calls happen when NY or LA are involved and it's not greed, it's ethnocentrism.

[@alexandermendez4653]

Lively, Gafford, Jones, Washington... Mavs have great role players. Whoever they play its gonna be a war. Cant wait

[@Reeftaan]

I agree with you on the complaining problem Luka has but the last two games he really dialled that back especially game 5 in OKC. Head down focused on playing. My issue is that I kinda get why he is constantly complaining. I mean Dort was all but wrestling him on almost every possession, grabbing, tripping, shoving, etc. just to then flop at EVERY opportunity he has on both defense and offense if there is minimal resistence/contact by a Mavs player. Utterly disgraceful. Glad that didn't work out for him.

[@hthrun]

3:10 When I watched video of it in slow motion, before hearing the announcers, I was thinking it was easily a foul. Shai hit his pinky on one side and pulled down his arm on the other side before Washington even released the shot. I think it was the correct call.

[@mattchooblink]

Rodman was that guy for me. Fav player other than Jordan

[@jonnykilroy9762]

[@Frank-hv7xj]

I'll say this as a Mavs fan when it comes to Luka talking to the refs. I'm half and half. Yeah, Luka should just shut up and focus on the game because the refs aren't going to help. If anything, they'll probably make it worse for annoying them so much. But i get why Luka gets frustrated because he clearly gets hacked so much, idk if it's because he's bigger he's supposed to just take the hits, but like, cmon refs be fair! Lu Dort was literally at times going at Luka knees like a linebacker, and that wasn't brought up randomly because he literally was playing like one. There's another video where Dort is clearly kicking up his leg between Lively Knees, which imo only plausible reason as for why he did that is he tried trip Luka to screw up the possession. Regardless of who the players are, that's still a reckless play because why are you kicking your leg in between someone's knees??? That's dangerous for athletes because knee injuries can cost them their entire careers I say, you can get frustrated with Luka's complaining, but you can't get mad at it because it's justified.

As a young Knick fan it is Josh Hart

[@patternsofdisorder1695]

As a Dallas Fan, I WAS hoping for Denver, both because they‘re far more likable, and because I fear for Luka‘s health with the tough-to-borderline dirty defense of the Wolves. Other than the Wolves being a really strong team with a lot of match-up problems, the question on my mind is IF the 50-60% of Luka Doncic we‘re seeing right now are going to be enough. If he were at 90-100%, I‘d feel very confident, but he‘s just not and is playing so hobbled and getting into his head that this may just be a little too much. That being said: Minnesota may have the best defense, but right now, Dallas is right up with them and i don‘t think they‘ve experienced anything close to that from Denver, either. We‘ll see what happens. Either way, best playoffs in many many many years.

Everyone thought the Kings were going places. Look how that went. You got to make most of the opportunities. If he still got the shot off, swallow the whistle ref. What happened to those days where the refs didn't bail players out in the last minute of the game? That deep OKC team is going to want to get paid. They're all young. The reason the Warriors were able to do what that they did was that team friendly deal Steph had. They may find themselves in a Harden situation again.
