Sixers fan, watching Luka’s body language makes me feel better about Embiid’s body language… and his is bad

[@Joeshiesty286]

He’s frustrated from being hurt and not being able to help his team and the refs allowing him to get beat up. The difference is Embiid gets bs touch fouls (like Shai and Harden) and still has bad body language

[@xxdemestrosxx]

guys the mavs are fine. the big adjustment they have yet to make. they have their own version of josh giddey: gafford is a big minus in the entire series. they could easily get rid of 10 minutes. SGA is afraid of lively. kicked it away several times when going against him and not in a good way, more in a "shit what am i gonna do" way

[@djkido316]

Exactly and not only that JKid was playing THJ in the 4th even though he's the worst defender on Mavs, JKid dropped the ball in the 4th, I still believe Mavs winning 6.

[@sea435]

Think the Mavs still win the series. But if they don’t, SGA needs to continue to work on his overall playmaking/ decision making. With a hampered Luka though, SGA has certainly been the best player in this series.

[@djkido316]

What an awful awful take, Mavs missed 11 straight freethrows, Kyrie had 9 points, Luka has 7 turnovers, they got out-rebounded in the 4th yet OKC only survived by 4 points, I'm feeling really good about Mavs winning in 6.

[@Matt-Edwards-MEdia]

Even kyrie saw him after that missed free throw and was visibly like “damn he lost his mental” and shrugged

[@drehitemup9904]

He's playing hurt why are we acting like there's some huge mystery as to why he's playing bad

[@aceloco817]

His knee doesn't make him have 7 turnovers tho. Coming from a Luka fan...

[@gnvtwhp1218]

Hey Kevin, your boy myles turner is averaging 5.7 (okay 6) rebounds vs the knicks. He's 7 feet tall. Josh Hart is a foot shorter than Turner, and hart is averaging 12 REBOUNDS through 5 games. Tuner is a 7 foot SHOOTING GUARD 😂😂😂😂😂 Tuner keeps getting bullied by these 6'3 Nova players. It's effing embarrassing. C'mon Kevin. As always. Kevin is a great sh!!eet thrower on the wall😂 he learned from bill simmons, the ultimate sh!!eet thrower on the wall. Eventually one of their sh!!eet will stick on the wall BUT it still smells like sh!!eet.

sga and luka both were +1 in this game. luka was good over the game, sga was exceptional in the last minutes. sga got killed before that. actually the josh giddey minutes were okcs winning ones

[@aceloco817]

I wanna know who Luka's mentor is. Or who does he go to for advice. Cuz whoever it is NEEDS to tell him to tune out the refs!!

[@mrdan523]

His knees have been hurt and he shouldn’t be playing. End of video.

[@chopin1975-tq3gx]

weird to think that sga is the same age as luka

[@jaimecardona92]

He's older than luka

[@elsporko321]

it would be weird to think that because he's 2 years older than Luka

[@xxdemestrosxx]

actually, okc should play less minutes of sga and have giddey run the offense or move sga more off the ball. sga is not a good playmaker. giddey is really really good at it

[@xxdemestrosxx]

luka had some decent contentions on sgas jupmers. we all love to get on the negatives, especially with luka. but man he d'ed up. give him his flowers

[@Bdot1588]

Go grizzlies 🥳🎉

[@MrMathsimon]

Luka is injured. His overall will be -15 so he is an 85 rating now. This is the only reason. We will still win this though. Mavs in 6 then you’ll all shut up.
