What Game 1 of Mavs vs Thunder Told Us

[@GOATiology]

Now that there aren’t as many games to catch up on everyday, I’m gonna start slowing down on the daily recaps. Giving me more time to dive deeper into some of these series.

[@THEjoelivingstone]

OKC's Game 1 scouting was "Luka is more hobbled than he's putting on." They saw blood in the water. Kyrie will need to start his 4th quarter in the 3rd if the Mavs want to make it through. He's got a heavy tank, but I have a feeling OKC is going to be too young for them.

[@GOATiology]

Luka's resilience is impressive, but OKC's keen scouting could be a game changer.

I'm from the Pacific Northwest and always will be a Blazers fan. But since my team isn't even in the playoffs, I enjoy seeing other teams compete. This series might go seven games. It's still up for grabs until a team wins a road game. The Thunder looked strong in this game, but the Mavs will adjust. When game three comes, I'll be waiting for the video from GOAT. There isn't a reason to say the series is over yet. The Mavs have a talent for winning game two in a series of seven while they're the away team.

I honestly love Luka, but that look he gave the ref after falling was like a toddler looking to their parent after stumbling, deciding whether to cry or not. He's been playing hurt, and they weren't getting calls this game, but he's been extra whiny these playoffs.

[@TomMotTom]

[@pinobluevogel6458]

The OTA was not for a Wiggins three, it was for Isaiah Joe. Minor thing, but okay. They are both snipers if left open. I don't want to take much away from Jalen Williams fourth quarter points, but he he didn't have a good enough defender on him. He had Hardaway Jr on him for quite some time, who is severely outmatched in that situation. They needed Jones Jr, Washington or Josh Green on him to at least make it somewhat hard. (or even Kleber, despite being slower .. but he is injured) The adjustments that are going to be made will help, Luka playing better will help even more. Kyrie activating in the first half instead of at the end of the game would be nice to have too.
