Thunder Dominate Mavericks in Game 1: Luka's Injury Concerning?

[@nando5340]

Luka starts bad against clips… it’s the injury… Luka starts to play better “flu game” oh he’s back off the injury report completely… has multiple days to rest and he’s injured again ??? Make it make sense

[@anthonyperez2748]

He’s dealing with a sprained knee. His flu game still wasn’t even up to his standards. I assume he’s still learning to play thru it. He’s compromised but he said himself it’s not an excuse. Knee injuries are tough. He’s putting a lot of weight on his knee each time hes driving in or stepping back for his threes.

[@anthonyperez2748]

A sprained knee will not heal in 4 days. It takes at least 6 weeks.

[@duffal0]

It’s Mavs fans excuses

[@calebterry8747]

Mavs fans aren’t making excuses. We all want Luka to stop shooting so many 3s. Is he injured? Yes. But we still have a chance if we play smart basketball.

[@CC-om9lb]

[@ryanbeltran9413]

I hope OKC can beat or give the wolves a tough outing if they beat Dallas. I think they have more offensive firepower than the Wolves. Defense probably worse, but Dort and Chet are great defenders and SGA is solid too. I think Jalen isn’t the best and worry about the size but the Williams from Arkansas seems like a good energy big. I don’t know if they are good enough but you can also dispose Biyombo and Muscala off the bench. I think it all comes down to SGA and Chet. I haven’t seen much of OKC, but seeing them this playoffs, I see the hype. I really like Chet’s game. Don’t know if he can be the superstar like Wemby but for me reminds me of a better Pau Gasol or poor man’s Dwight defensively with a shot. I think he is a multiple time all star for sure. SGA has to show he is the MVP candidate and argaubly should’ve won the MVP. I take Ant over him moreso in the future, but he has been more consistent. SGA just needs to ball out and or rely on the calls he does “earn” rightfully for my opinion, but let’s not deny many players today try to get calls though they are good at it. His pull up middie has to be on point throughout the playoffs. Dallas can still win for my opinion and hope they could possibly beat the Wolves though I like OKCs chances more. Truth is Kyrie and Luka are too deadly that they can still beat OKC and give the Wolves a possible r tough series. It just depends if they can shoot like they did against the Clippers and rooenplayers are consistent. Thing about OKc is all their role players seem very serviceable and ik talking some of their 9-11 guys.

[@wayno115]

It’s crazy how Luka is the only Superstar in the league that gets an injury excuse but I’m not tryna hear that BS. I watched every game in the Clippers series and even before the knee injury that happened in game 2 or 3 I forgot exactly what game it was but he was playing like straight trash so I can’t give him that excuse especially with the fact that he still had a great game in game 5 on the road to go up 3-2 in the series

[@Spacewalk11]

Cope mavs in 6 Luka being hurt isn’t an excuse it’s just a fact. He played good just not his typical self. Still found a way to playmake and score and had a great game 2, 5, and 6.

[@snoopraptor]

Tatum has been great shooting but a) defenses still load on him, and he's been great at making the right reads/getting his teammates clean looks and b) he's been lights out defensively, probably the celtics best defender so far on a great defensive team

Tatum didn't have a bad game. He had a bad shooting night.There is a difference, but I guess you'd need to watch to know that but you should know that 2way playmakers don't need to have a great shooting night to be crucial in the teams success.

Saying that the Mavs only shot 3 more FTs is not telling the who story. At the half, Shai had shot as many FTs as the entire Mavs team. Shai had like 12 or 13 FTs at the half bro. And Mavs had like 5 guys in foul trouble and it was all on soft fouls that they weren’t calling in the Minnesota game.

[@michaelmo1977]

Shocker. The Mavs lose game 1 of a playoff series. They're now 0-5 under Kidd. They did not play well last night, but luckily it's not a 1 game series. Mavs will adjust for game 2 and hopefully even it up. Ideally, I'd like to see the bigs take a couple dribbles and take it stronger to the hole on the short roll. Maybe draw some fouls on those OKC smalls under the basket.

[@K.O_inthe1st]

I definitely agree they need to dribble way more the bigs are literally holding the ball at the perimeter to give it right back to Luka or Kyrie most of the time without moving or becoming a thread to the defense.

I mean he had a sprained knee, rolled ankle, and back spasms (all diagnosed by team doctor this isn’t ppl making excuses) if you think Luka just playing bad randomly when he’s cooked Dort his whole career u don’t know ball. No excuses Luka balled out the last 2 games and closed them out. OKC a cute young team but not our level. Injured Luka was playmaking and elevating his teammates all series. We move

As a Mavs fan this was hard to watch. Luka did have good looks but isn’t jumping to his actual shot, isn’t playing closing defense, and just pounding the ball too damn much. Coach Kidd needs to realize that LUKA is hurting the team honestly and sit him down when having a crap thrown of 3s.
