SGA and Lu Dort the dirtiest players in the playoffs right now. Always trynna further injure Luka. NBA needs to check on this 😤

[@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381]

It's just hustling, why are Luka fans crying whenever someone hurts Luka, also unintentionally.

[@lawrencedanao7648]

@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381that’s not hustling he’s playing dirty

[@happyGuru5766]

There's a difference between being physical defender vs dirty defense

[@LC-jq7vn]

​​@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381Definitely not unintentional from Dort. Dude has 16 fouls in 3 games. Pat mahomes yelled "you are a linebacker" at Dort when he baiscally trucked Luka. I didnt see enough bs from SGA to say his was intentional. But he did clearly and obviously elbow luka in the neck area when he almost loss the ball and then again threw an elbow right in the face.

[@fringe_minority]

​@@russellwestbrookyellingatw9381not just Luka. When they played Clippers, Hardaway got injured by a dirty play. I think it's time for the Mavs to start playing dirty.

[@23maximus76]

LuGina Dort is so dirty. You know it's over when OKC strategies are to injure Luka, hack-a-lively, and flop.

[@topG-4xchamp]

Facts 🗣️ 🔥🔥

Lu dort was playin football even Mahomes had 2 say sumthin

Jason Kidd was one of the most elegant point guards ever and now gets to Coach Kyrie that's beautiful

[@xxdemestrosxx]

especially with the new jersey connection!

[@leedeecam5687]

NBA better look into Thunder players purposely trying to injure Luka. Unbelievable

[@amritpalsingh3494]

Why nobody is talking about how lu Dort and SGA tried to hurt mavs players ?

[@LC-jq7vn]

We also need to talk about why the refs are calling about 1/3 fouls when they do it to him. In spite of all that grace Dort still has 16 fouls over the last 3 games.

[@thedude4594]

5 elbows to head three knees to groin one knee to head by the cowards. I mean Thunder

[@JK_073]

Cus they didn’t tf

[@mith2946]

Like how Luka tripped Dort in this very game. Meanwhile it happens to Luka and he cries for 3 possessions and has a ten minute meeting with the refs.

[@skuripandaburns3489]

​@@mith2946 when the only tactic you play is hack-a-lively, you're trash. There is nothing more anti-basketball than what Thunder did this game.

[@Aggie4life77]

Lively is getting so many valuable minutes as a rookie! This will absolutely pay dividends later!

[@jjcometa9333]

Fr! It's the whole team actually. We're getting that atmosphere. I'm actually excited for next season. I know we're gonna resign DJJ. With that our team is complete, maybe a thj and or hardy trade and we good

[@danmoreman954]

Lively has the potential to be a really special player. This season we are just getting a glimpse of what he will become.

[@Aryan-jx3cb]

Great job coach kidd. Please keep it up. Please win next game! 💪

[@sensei_...]

Okc strategies to try to win: 1. Injure Luka 2.Hack a shack a rookie 3.flop after fouling

[@camrin8937]

It’s hack a shaq like the player shaq

[@gmb7999]

Okc jus runnin straight thru luka whenever he aint lookin is weak, 1 seed tryna hack a rookie is weak, dallas in 5

[@jjcometa9333]

Preach. End this sooner than later. It'll help our confidence. If we go up 3-1, we could end on their home court

[@mith2946]

A team of 22 year olds is in Lukas head. Luka D, the biggest crybaby in the league

[@DaveHaze]

Hack a lively is most weakest thing from OKC. Bum's play the game!

[@jjcometa9333]

Shows the character of the coach. And players show their true colors when pushed to a corner. Now internet is seeing what SGA and his team really is all about

[@smtbg]

​@@jjcometa9333They get killed on the glass so they do what they can to get possessions other ways to see what works. A guy missing FTs potentially gets you possession and they don't score, what's the issue here? POPOVICH originated it and has won 5 chips. What are you even crying about?

[@jjcometa9333]

Guess we know how SGA is when pushed to a corner. Elbows and Flopping😂😂

[@mith2946]

Stop it, Luka is the biggest flopper and crybaby in the league. If there was a pole amongst all fans, he'd take the vote EASILY.

[@occultsymbols]

@@mith2946 lol Luka is definitely a crybaby but I can guarantee you if there was a vote for whos the biggest flopper SGA would win by a landslide

[@mj8607]

Derrick Jones been an amazing defender, locking up PG in clippers series

[@darrylanderson4764]

See coach kidd, no drugs, no drinking is always the best professional approach ❤😂

[@Ghen313]

Mavs are the best team in the nba

[@Ldubk209]

[@decharibrooks2319]

Idk whats worse the touch calls Shai gets or the Luka and dort flop off. The League really needs consistency

[@marcusfrm6263]

Touch calls

[@jjcometa9333]

​@marcusfrm6263 fr. Be consistent. Let them flop, don't call them. But if you're gonna call soft fouls on SGA, then it should be the same for Luka. Thing is free throws should not be equal. With the way thunder is playing we should have 30+

[@dracowuhan7536]

Mark seems like a good guy and coach, wish him luck after he loses this series.

[@JaneSmith-gk9xi]

Adam Silver and the refs have to be cooking the books / odds - the bias for the OKC is ridiculous in the calls they get and the fouls they get away with

[@xxdemestrosxx]

cant be stressed enough, please someone step up and call it out!!! the legitimacy of the game is on the line and you have to protect your top selling super star luka doncic. at this rate he is going to be done in 5 years

[@Slo_757]

So the #3 defense in the NBA tried Hack A Lively & it backfired thanks to Ky’s leadership to calm Lively down & he hit 4 in a row. Luka is at 60% & is being hit around like a UFC fight but still leaving it all on the court, gotta respect it. We praised Embiid for playing injured but talk ish about Luka smh. Mavs in 6 🤝🏻

[@iwishiwasthomasshelby]

Don't run 😂😂😂😂😂 I remember seeing him running away from Chet. I didn't realize they were hacking him.

[@justinekyle28]

lets go mavs

[@justinekyle28]

pls refs next game look always at LeDort trying to injure Luka

[@JK_073]

Playing good defense = trying to injure now. Y’all not ready for that 90s level pressure

[@hazza9595]

@@JK_073 Clippers played good defense with a lot of physicality. OKC are playing dirty that get the calls that Mavs don't. Refs are being hypocritical which is what everyone is mad about.

[@Dreamdancer11]

@@JK_073 Νο problem with tough defense even dirty one....the problem is only if its one sided...SGA gets calls of people..breathing close to him let alone rough him up....i think if you wanna be objective that is blatantly obvious here....

[@JK_073]

@@Dreamdancer11 you can’t just say things and expect people will believe you. SGA attacks the basket on every play is only natural he gets fouled. Luka is a shooter, he doesn’t face as much contact as SGA.

[@JK_073]

@@hazza9595 Yall wasn’t saying that before lmaoo yall Mavs fans were calling Clippers dirty when they played too, I see a common denominator here lol.

[@rogerhunkapillar7171]

The inconsistency of the refs in this series is most likely a reflection of the league’s undeniable desire for someone like SGA to be the “face” of the league. I realize this is asking too much but if you take a look at the foul calls that SGA receives compared to what is allowed as “acceptable” contact against Luca, it’s fairly evident that there is an inconsistency. Of course, the hate against Luca is not only accepted but encouraged. Hard to believe that he is the most prolific scorer in NBA playoff history outside of MJ.

[@Valleypros1]

Under dogs are supposed to have more love then hate but okc so unlikable bro there strategy is just get fast break points and once they get a decent lead just foul bait the rest of the time 😂😂😂

[@rulifaller8474]

I feel OKC kept the,selves from getting to another gear in the 4th by all their Livelying and roughing up Luka. They just did not get into any of their own offensive flow.
