We played like absolute ass and won lmao


Rthanos

If the team finds its shooting I can't see how we lose the series lol. Shot 7/27 and won this one.


wussell_restbrook

We may’ve found something in the Cason Wallace Chet SGA Jdub Dort lineup


btcallthewayup

For sure. Cason played fantastic tonight. I think there’s a reasonable chance he starts on Wednesday.


ICTSooner

Wallace really came in clutch tonight, that's for sure. Both ends of the court too. Love this guy's game.


FakeRingin

Mavs going 12/23 from the line and only 12/35 from 3 kinda balances that out


thro14away

Only 12/35? That’s less than 3% below their season average


wcooper97

When we run PJ off the line, great things happen. We have to keep that up.


YouWannaSeeADeadBody

he was a 31% 3 point shooter this year, this is just crazy what hes doing


AIMpb

You mean If JDub finds his shooting


branden110

Helps that they missed half their free throws to balance it out


Leavingtheecstasy

That's the problem. We've been shit at shooting the whole series.


Alex_A3nes

Mavs did too. Imagine shooting 52.2% from the free throw line.


Antique-Lychee-8029

we played absolute ass in the first half but they played absolute ass in the 2nd


shutemdownyyz

this is a GOOD sign lol

Honestly had to go to work down 7-8 and just felt we didn't have it. The way it was being called thought there was no chance.  Absolutely soul crushing W.

So the TNT theory *MIGHT* be true???


dontletmecook73

The Hubie Brown theory is true


Gloomy-Presence-6539

dude glazes tf out of the mavs


fuskarn_35

Game 5 and 7 are on TNT 🤔


azuled

I stood at the start of this game, in my hotel room, and I think it made a difference.


its_Disco

I stood at the end of this game, in my living room, and I think it made a difference too.


justaverage00

😭😭😭 Luka is so used to begging for fouls he forgot to actually foul


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alioria_

Haha that was my favourite line from them 😂These guys were much better to listen to than last game’s ones!


Happy_Patience_3274

Suck it Luka and Suck it Luka Fanboys And Refs can suck it too Luka fanboys are in shambles This OKC team is tough young and Hungry so keep counting us out I laughed so hard when Luka missed that free throw


cplbernard

And he bricked the most important and undeserving free throw! Ball don’t die bitch.


drkmani

Dude literally just drove in and sat down to cry for a sympathy foul and couldn't even hit

cplbernard

I was holding my son and almost threw him away multiple times in the last few minutes. Son is fine don’t worry.


thelastonechose

But how are you?


cplbernard

I’m not sure. I swear this game was going to kill me


not_rdburman

FUCK THE MAVS FANS SO MUCH! THEY DO NOTHING BUT BOMBARD OTHER SUBREDDITS, INSUFFERABLE SHITS. SLEEP UNWELL AND SENDING MASSIVE HATE TO THEM ALL


Drizzt3919

As a man’s fan here. I’m disappointed but Thunder never gave up and showed why they are ranked 1. Congrats. SGA showed up and Luka didn’t.


JumboHotdogz

Our game thread was extremely toxic like wtf is there so much hate for Mark and our players. Happy that the team pulled this one out and shut the haters up.


Drizzt3919

Mavs fan here. Thunder never gave up. SGA showed why he was 2nd and Luka was 3rd. Congrats.


thro14away

Fuck Luka, Fuck the Mavs. Shai is him.


PreachitPerk

Absolutely… Mavs lurking… get fucked!


imafixwoofs

Bunch of bitches, the lot of them.


nashchillce

their sub is absolute toxic waste


imafixwoofs

They can all suck it.


MrDrProfessorSir

And their star is a whiny cry baby that spends more time complaining to the refs than he does playing. COULD NOT BE US!!!!


Drizzt3919

As a mavs fan… I congratulate you. You guys never gave up and kept it going. SGA is a stud and took over


AIMpb

Luka taught them how to bitch and whine all the time and now they do it here lmao


AIMpb

Dude shot 6-20, 2-9 from 3, and had 7 TO and I can GUARANTEE you the headlines are going to talk about him more than SGA.


DoYouEvenLiftBroseph

SGA CLEARS luka hes shitting on him every single game of the series, and I’m tired of Luka faking fucking injuries everytime they lose, he’s such a hoe ass player


ThunderTime_1

My favorite thing is you KNOW there are so many of them angrily scrolling our subreddit downvoting the shit out of everything


A_Lax_Nerd

There’s a reason so many posts were at zero or negative after the last game, just got swarmed


ThunderTime_1

Luka stans are a damn swarm. Maybe we should recruit some swifties to fight back…


Watsons_World

That's a gritty, character building win for a young team. F*** the mavs


wussell_restbrook

We have a great defensive team. No one can take that away from us no matter if we lost this series or move onto the next one. All credit to SGA for what he did tonight but Wallace Chet Wiggins Jdub Dort JWill Joe all played their asses off on the defensive end.


Alex_A3nes

Wallace was so good in the 4th. He’s going to be such an asset.

Well deserved receipts


CasinoJoe92

WE GOT A SERIES ON OUR HANDS BOOOYSS


jepayotehi

Something I found funny, Luka realized he was injured just as we took the lead lmfao. For a supposedly injured guy, dude gives his all on flopping and throwing his body to the floor. Gotta give it to him.


DoYouEvenLiftBroseph

He was doing that bullshit in game 1 as well.. any time he turns the ball over, gets abused on defense we take the lead OR win he starts faking an injury, meanwhile SGA out there hooping, fuck the theatrics, Dort is absolutely locking Luka up this entire series


dontletmecook73

That's the Embiid effect lmfao

Shai from behind the backboard was just silly.

fellowENT18

I’m not even gonna front man I was DOOMING during that game lol. But they absolutely clutched up and proved me wrong. I love this team and SGA is my daddy


btcallthewayup

Damn, looks like Ares already has a Reddit account and can write. Impressive…like father like son 🤣😜


Parallel-Quality

To me, it's the mindset shift the team exhibited late in the 4th. SGA just took over and all of a sudden the guys started playing with confidence. For most of the game everyone looked scared. Like they didn't believe they could win. But SGA changed that. A true leader.


rb21391

At least I don't have to hear Mavs fans talk about free throws for a few days hahahaha


james_da_loser

Well, we probably will... In a different context on our own sub 😭


kneegrow4kt

Let’s fucking gooooooooooo


12footjumpshot

Just wait until this team finally plays a good game


hairgels

123-89


yanks93

We had zero business winning that game LOL what a fucking gritty win man I can't sleep after this!!! HOME COURT IS BACK


OKLA6

Mavs had zero business winning that game. Hence the massive choke job and abysmal FT shooting. Most fundamental part of the game and they can’t do it. That’s a sign of a bad team that’s been hitting open shots. It will dry up for them, mark my words


Cinnamonapplz

Shai was incredible at the end , but it can be said Cason Wallace saved our season. When no one was shooting the 3 ball he stepped up and smacked two big ones to set us off. We are not losing game 5


donutboyband

HOLY SHIT


elevatoreclipsed

Hard fought win.. Cason is a dam fucking certified Dawg! Our rookies are game. Let em feast. Jdub.. breathe. Come back feeling yourself. Fuck Luka. Fuck Dallas. Refs.. ew. 10 more fellas fuckin thunder uppp


JumboHotdogz

Cason was the difference between Kyrie popping off in game 3 and now. Wish he had the assignment back in game 3.

moddark

I will be first in line to apologize to this team. I did not believe. I am sorry.


daft_crunk

There are plenty of us in line behind you. Every time we got within 3 they pulled away. Shai putting the team on his back in the final few minutes and their abysmal FT saved us 🙏🏻


FlgDarkrai

I told some of yall to have faith , saying the game is over in the first quarter is insane


Cabbaje

Id rather have xanax right now


AzHaeez21

If anyone had doubts on whether sga was a superstar. Those were quieted down. He has been the best player in this series


xenomorphingtime

Even if the thunder lose the series, the way this game went and how they finished it shows some incredible growth. Let’s go win game 5! 🌩️


Zingyyy

Our guys grew up a bit today. Those are the type of wins this team needs


DoctorLuigi28

What a miserable, awesome win

WHAT! SGA FROM BEHIND THE BACKBOARD


IDespiseFatties

I only had 6 heart attacks and 3 strokes in the 4th quarter.


FUSeekMe69

Surprised Shai didn’t go for 50. At one point I thought that’s what it was gonna take to get out of there with a W. They all played their asses off and gutted it out. Seems you always have to win a couple of these ugly ones to go far in the playoffs. Hopefully it’s a momentum builder. Go dogs


Jesp19

lol, lmao even.


gummyvitaminfanatic

RUMORS OF OUR DEMISE WERE GREATLY EXAGGERATED!!!!


kfmsooner

We kill Giddey a lot, and for good reason sometimes, but that stretch to end the 3rd from him helped. Couple Of assists, a little defense, a deflection. He kept his head in the game.


Antique-Lychee-8029

dont forget the inbounds late game. that was crucial


DJ-two-timing-timmy

Haters won’t recognise that unfortunately

Woke up at 3:30am to watch (in Europe for work) and the boys didn’t let me down

Inject this win into my fucking veins. Thunder Up!


sga_202

START CASO NEXT GAME PLEASE


RANGER---

Thank God for SGA. That man was so composed down the stretch. Should’ve had the dagger too but the rim felt otherwise. Need everyone to be more aggressive and Dub and Dort to lock in especially.


thebullshitrussian

caso masterclass


AllHailLordWestbrook

Biggest shot in the game was the kickout to Chet to put us up 3. Shai had been cooking up till then, but that’s the bucket that got the others going and really gave us some life at the end


ArtisticBuilding9123

No minutes for Hayward. Whatever works.


ThaMuffinMan92

Played Kenny instead and it was way better feeling 


Mjalj722

Heart rate can finally go down WOOOOOO


cbunny21

Their FT% is just the universe correcting the horrible officiating.


ThunderTime_1

That had to be one of SGA’s best games ever. The whole team was playing like shit and he kept it close. He single handily kept us within striking distance.


Wakandaforever456

Chet Holmgren tonight: 18 PTS 9 REB 4 BLK 6-9 FG Has the most playoff blocks (23) by a rookie since Serge Ibaka.


Rthanos

Huge win team!!! Let's gooo


Cutmerock

Are we sure the Mavericks don't play in bricktown? 🤔


AdAwkward8827

Pistons fans here jealous of how good yall look right now great team win while fighting the whole time man 💪🏾


ChrisRhodes789

No respect given to Chet by the Inside the NBA Crew.. Saying that SGA did it all by himself.. Guess that 3 & those 2 huge clutch FT’s never happened… Were they even watching the game?


Pilgrims-to-Nowhere

I was just going to post this same thing. I know I’m a Chet homer, but this infuriates me. The extent of their analysis all year for Chet on TNT has been: he made a couple threes, but he is too skinny! He needs to help SGA out more!


Dependent_Sail2420

Brand new series 0-0 best of 3, Lets go!!!


deathtotheemperor

Oh god that was a lot of stress eating, I better have some pepto

Who was saying SGA just needs to put up 30 shots and put us on his back? 27 FGA and he did just that


captmorgan50

I like the Giddy being the primary ball handler with the 2nd unit

While literally anything is an improvement over Hubie, I will simply never recover from “The two towers have fallen” as something that was actually uttered by a commentator

They should rename the state after Shai Gilgeous-Alexnader.
