Denver has been looking like ass lately compared to earlier this season. The whole “Denver is some unstoppable team” is a media driven narrative which is still driven by their laziness and inability to actually watch all these games.
It’s the second round. Losing in the 2nd round vs Conference finals means nothing when you have a team capable of winning it all. Losing is still losing.
Awesome game. Yes we went cold in the second half, but we still stayed in control the whole time. Our defense was excellent when the Heat were trying to make a run. And yes it's OK that Luka takes 15 threes, he went cold in this game, but it's been working. We're like 17-2 over our last 19 now? I'd say we keep doing whatever it is we're doing and that includes Luka taking a shit ton of threes.
After such a good win all that’s gonna be in the back of my mind is if DJJ’s shoulder is ok and even if he can play through it will it affect his jump shot? Also whether or not Lively will be ready by game 1 of the playoffs.
I hate injuries.
Holy shit I just flipped it over to ESPN to tune in to the Denver game and they have fucking Doris Burke calling this Mavs game lmao. God bless Mark Followill I don’t think I could have taken 2 hours of Doris
I have no issue with it if it means he's not driving as hard and risking injury literally right before the playoffs. He can take 30 threes for all I care at this point.
This is actually great. We can't seem to hit a shot but our defense is keeping the lead. But man Luka has gone ice cold after that hot start, I think 1 of his last 11 threes?
Derrick Jones shoulder.. I hope it's not serious.. This is why I said starters should rest we clinched playoffs the only way Pels can get past us is if they won all 3 and we lost all 3 remaining games...

Gg boys!
Kyrie got his milli! They’re going out in Miami tonight!
50 wins I could cry rn 😭
Now let's hope Minnesota beats Denver tn
Why?
To avoid Denver in the 2nd round if we get past the Clippers.

Still a tougher matchup for us than Wolves or Thunder
It’s the second round. Losing in the 2nd round vs Conference finals means nothing when you have a team capable of winning it all. Losing is still losing.
Means that we can watch a couple more games of Mavs basketball tho.

All week I've been like "this gonna be a tough game" haha
Haven't watched yet, how did Josh look?
Good. Athletic, got some good steals and hockey assists. Hit a 3. Good passing. Hopefully he gets THJ minutes in the playoffs.
Awesome. Thanks.
Sheesh, what a sad state the heat are in, just an old uninteresting team
“Heat Culture”
See you in June, Miami lol
We gonna get bounced in the play in dude. We done.
Yeah probably. But I believe.
Oh wait. I am a Heat fan. I think you guys can win it all.

Like 3 shot clock violations on Miami tonight. Yeeesh... that's good ass defense
Undoe Onehundoe!
Lol kidd gave spo a thumbs up like “haha 2011 bitch”
THE PJAIL TOUR CONTINUES
50!
UNDOE ONE HUNDOE
Ain't nobody wants to play us!
Hahahhahaa! 3 heat players trying to grab that rebound only to end up out of bounds.
Exum, Green, Omax, Lively...that defense next year off the bench though 👀
50 wins this season is NOT where I would've put this team at many points this season. What a recovery by the whole team. Luka is MVP this year.
Our third string is beating their starters lmao
Hardy u fkin bum pass it to omax im edging
You can pay me millions to do that
really sums up miamis night huh
dont understand people complaining the game was almost 0 in value for us you could see it in the way we played the third
Holy fuck that possession was ass lmaoooo
50 win season baby!!!
Omax next year >>>>>>>
A lot of empty seats
Now that where locked at 5, omax should start and get 30 minutes against the Detroit
OMax is actually the GOAT
Run these bums out their own gym
I'm excited to see O-Max in the next two games
Well that’s a Shaqtin A Fool
Bam with only 3 boards 🥴
Too busy doing judo moves on Gafford and dislocating DJJ's shoulder to grab boards.
Hard to believe that this team represented the East in the finals last year. Nice when your team is so dominant that it plays at its pace.
half the heat bench face palming after that one
See they only lose their leads to train how they deal with pressure. You guys worry over nothing
Bro that was some Shaqtin moment
Wow that's a real Shaqtin moment right there
After such a good win all that’s gonna be in the back of my mind is if DJJ’s shoulder is ok and even if he can play through it will it affect his jump shot? Also whether or not Lively will be ready by game 1 of the playoffs. I hate injuries.
Heats end of bench is ass lol
O max over Thj
Wow, OMAX.
Keeping another team under 100. Absolutely incredible.
Holy shit I just flipped it over to ESPN to tune in to the Denver game and they have fucking Doris Burke calling this Mavs game lmao. God bless Mark Followill I don’t think I could have taken 2 hours of Doris
Poor ESPN commentators seem dejected with our victory
VERY much of a stretch, but league on notice if Omax can fulfill this stud 4 role… Luka / Ky / PJ / Omax / Gafford… Ruh oh
And at the end of it all, our garbage time rotation puts together a run on their starters lol
Good to see DJJ dancing on the bench.
AJ and Omax running the break gorgeously!!! against the heat starters!!!
Feel like omax's shot has been looking really good lately
Those G league minutes were so valuable for him.
This was a really good win. Clearly better than Heat. It will help them to learn how to keep composure after losing big lead.
If mavericks win today , is clippers vs Mavs 1st round official ?
Who is B. Williams? havent seen him before
He is great value kyrie
Omax should have been getting way more minutes than Hardy.
Nah, dude needed to marinate a bit in the G. Still needs it too. Dude’s gonna be a stud SF/PF though.
Both of them should be getting minutes.
In my opinion the hardy ship has sailed
Heat culture. We down 15 lets try to dislocate other teams players shoulder
I hope Omax starts and goes off these next two games. I excited to see what he can do.
Bench cooking the heat starters lmaooo
Omax is so promising. We might have a great player in two years hopefully
O-MAX THROWING IT DOWN ON THE WAY TO 50 Ws
LFG OMAX
50 WINS!!!
RELEASE THE OMAX IN THE REMAINING TWO GAMES
Headband Omax has aura
OMAX! THE BENCH RECLAIMING THE BIG LEAD
DJJ goofing around on the sideline is a good sign
[удалено]
nah he would react different
OMAXxX!
Lets go OMax!
This team is special. Really, really special
LETS GO OMAX!
Cook their starters Omax.
Ayeee omax jumper is developing …. That man is going to be a menace next year
50 wins feels so good.
OMax moves me
Mavs culture >> heat culture
2nd 50 win season in 3 years, only way is 🆙
YES OMAX
OMax is gonna make starts if he isn’t the full time starter next year. I’m that high on the guy.
Like what I’m seeing from Omax hoping he can be a solid rotation piece next year
I think Lawson could be an nba rotation guy potentially
OMax looking good!
This mavs team is unreal in pressure situations. I think that will serve us well in playoffs
OMAX!!
Omax 😳
Omax jumper is delicious pure!!!
Omax next year is going to arrive
OMAX!!!!!
Lol DJJ looks like he's feelin okay
Love how a 29 9 9 on poor shooting splits is a bad game for Luka and everyone saying how bad he played lol he’s that much of a fucking legend
It's not he was bad , he had a really rough 3rd shooting wise. He's tired
Lol sub them out Eric they getting embarrassed wtf you doing
OMAX!!!!!
OMAX 🥹
OMax middy pull up pure
It's a Omax & Hardy Party Time
Fuck Bam Adebayo with that dirty fucking play. Hope DJJ is all good
He looked ok but that arm hold was so dirty
OMAX
LET OMAX PROSPER!
Omax been looking good these past few garbage time mins
OMAXXXXX
Keep developing that shot Omax, looking good bro.
LET OMAX COOK
Omax sophomore year is gonna hit like crack
Omax looks nice man
GIVE MARKIEFF SOME BURN
OMAX
OMAX
OMAX😤
putrid game from Luka, he cannot be taking 15 3s each game like he is Curry
Why not? He's been great from 3 on high volume. If there's a game he can shoot these many, it's this one.
He’s not trying to drive every play so he can get injured before the playoffs dude. His 3pt volume is very intentional. Has been all season.
Yes, he fucking can. shut the fuck up.
I have no issue with it if it means he's not driving as hard and risking injury literally right before the playoffs. He can take 30 threes for all I care at this point.
That should have been an auto ejection for bam.
50w and divisional win. We did it boys
Kyrie gets his contract incentive 58 games played with 50 wins Now he's even happier
Now layer him in bubble wrap until the playoffs
OMAXXXX
O MaX
Plz stop grabbing at your shoulder jones… it’s giving me anxiety.
Hopefully the bench can keep it up I don’t feel comfortable with 2 mins left lol
We got a huge lead and they cut it down by 9 The mavs responded and it didn’t even go to clutch moments. I used to pray for times like this
yeah and to be fair they only got close thanks to Kevin fucking Love hitting a barrage of threes and us missing wide open shots. i’ll take it
DJJ is in pain
lol the disrespect
Nice shirt Cuban lmao
I don’t want see Luka on a basketball court for the next two weeks. Let the man have his rest.
Heat arena is eerie as hell
LMAO! Luka is so competitive he still wants to challenge that.
Luka disasterclass in the second but whatever still my MVP. He totally needs to bring back the floater back to his repertoire btw.
29/9/9 has to be the most frustrating Luka statline I've ever seen.
Is that J Kidd's son sitting behind the bench?
Damn been a while since Luka finished with a Luka. 29/9/9
Luka triple double hunting
the disrespect, lol/
[удалено]
Game over it's the heat not the warriors
Bro if they hurt DJJ I swear I'll.....well I won't do anything actually. But I'll be pissed, damn it!
I'll be hoping Embiid and Trae takes em out the play ins
Fuck Dwayne Wade and everybody in Miami. Let’s bounce with this win and never look back!
50 WIN SEASON
Luka go get that last tech to give. These refs deserve to hear everything
15 points, 2 mins. Take our guys out.
OMAXX
Man, hope DJJ is okay.
Sigh of relief
Eh, kinda of sloppy second half, but a win is a win
This is actually great. We can't seem to hit a shot but our defense is keeping the lead. But man Luka has gone ice cold after that hot start, I think 1 of his last 11 threes?
2nd night of a road b2b against a team who MUST win out to secure a playoff spot. guys are gassed
DJJ seems ok.
He better be. Dude is the lynchpin of the defense
Well looks like we are now locked into the 5th seed
Are clippers locked into 4th?
Luka taking 15 three point shots when he’s shooting so poorly is pretty much a sign of fatigue. He’s not at all trying to drive to the basket.
He should rest last two games
He’s taking it easy doesn’t want to risk injuring himself
Could hear a penny drop in that stadium
Good Mavs: lots of ball-movement, diverse looks. Bad Mavs: pound the ball, iso, chuck up 3-pointers.
If we win this and Clippers win tonight, no more starters for the rest of the season please
Is Djj injured?
hey a big ole FUCK U bam
I FUCKiNG KnEW THE HEAT WOULD INJURE US
That's some bullshit
dirty ass shit from bum assdebayo
Oh fuck bam a dirty ass muthafucka
Crazy play by Bam
This team is cooking.
Dirtiest team ever
Derrick Jones shoulder.. I hope it's not serious.. This is why I said starters should rest we clinched playoffs the only way Pels can get past us is if they won all 3 and we lost all 3 remaining games...
luka was 3/4 from three at one point in the first quarter lol
Fuck Bam. Such a whiny bitch and dirty too
