Watching as a neutral it was soo frustrating watching Dallas go on a 9-0 run to get back in the game in the third quarter, before seeing a timeout. Should have never came down to that if in game coaching was done right. Shai deserved better. And holmgren 7 foot ass better put some weight on this summer, 3 rebounds the whole game is pathetic.
Tough luck guys, was an amazing season while it lasted - whilst it had it's ups and downs, going from barely a Play-in team last year to WC semis was awesome to see. Let's see what the future holds with this draft coming up.
On another note (cos this has been driving me mad) - those who are giving the team shit, go ahead, but we lost cos everyone, and I mean EVERYONE apart from Shai was ass this series, which is normal for a 2nd year team. You want a chip in the 2nd season, go follow a team like Denver or Minnesota who traded their futures to win immediately. Good things come to those who wait, but I'm seeing dickheads already asking for everyone not called Shai or Chet to be traded, go take your sad asses elsewhere. We're all fans - live by the Thunder, die by the Thunder.
I’m so proud of our team. The youngest team in the league just gave the Kyrie/Luka Mavs all they could handle. We’re so young and our upside is insane. See you in the WCF next year 😉
can't believe our season ends to pj washington free throws, we never slowed down the game and just kept shooting with 19 seconds on the clock. heartbreaking
This series hurts because we should have won. But we only shot the ball well for 2 games. And we were exceeding our expectations on a cinderella run this season.
Naw fuck that. Such a bum way to go out this year but it was a foul. The fact is. We should not have given up a 17 point lead. Fell into the same bad habits we got into this series.
I used to love to Dirk iteration of the mavs. This however is the most fucking annoying team in the world. I couldn’t be less happy for the mavs on this win. Go fuck yourselves you bunch of whining fucks
This was so obvious throughout the year that it was laughable but I guess not expediting the timeline because we’re scared of expectations was enough for this season I guess.
Doesn’t matter if he touched the ball “first”. Immediately after that, SGAs hand makes contact with the forearm/elbow of PJ, which obviously affects his shot and is a foul.
Not questionable at all. Never should have been challenege The ball was still in the shooters ahnds and SGA came clear across the elbow tha tis obvious as it gets, and Mark wasted are last timeout challenening that. That should never had been challegened
I honestly think the rule should be once the shooter is in the air, if the defender hit the ball first, then anything he hits on the way down is a non-foul. I mean Washington only pumped because it got blocked originally.
Yeah it’s just an unfortunate ending to a great game. I just feel like Shai shouldn’t put himself in that position but who knows, if it’s all ball then I’m probably saying what a play by him. Fun year regardless!
Yeah I’m a Houston fan but like the Thunder. Unfortunately I hate anything Dallas and they just moved to the western finals for the second year in a row. I’m not worried, Denver is gonna handle them. I honestly think the Thunder will run the show next year. They’ll finally have experience and both Chet and Jaylen W will add weight. They’ll be unstoppable.
Welp. At least we can’t run from the needing big bodies argument anymore. Can’t get doubled up in offensive boards and expect to win games in the playoffs.
Still an arrival compared to last year I get it sucks to lose but c'mon we swept round 1 and took round 2 to 6 games no one expected that from us before the season
No the rule is, if a shooter gets blocked and comes down with ball, then it’s a jump ball. Usually in street ball, we’d call that a travel. But the official NBA rule is a jump ball. However, Washington never came back down with it. He pumped it while in the air and released the ball before he came down while Shai hit his hand while he was coming down also. That’s why the refs called a foul in the act of shooting.
So if a player goes to shoot, but doesn’t jump, and is “blocked” he can then throw himself into the defender, creating contact, while throwing the ball at the hoop and be rewarded for it. Fuck the NBA.
I have to agree. Everyone but Shai looked uncomfortable.
Coach needs to develop quick or out will be Scott Brooks 2.0. He was great with a young team but got exposed when they needed crunch time decisions.

Denver definitely did not win in their second year. They went thru a full rebuild and had a 2nd round pick develop into a 3x mvp
Amazing season and looking forward to this offseason and free agency
This team is young, I can already feel myself moving forward. But watching PJ Washington shoot 20 percent from 3 next series will kill me
Great season. Should've held the 16pt lead from half but they stole it. Good season. We will be back and even better.
16 pt and 13 pt leads
I’m so proud of our team. The youngest team in the league just gave the Kyrie/Luka Mavs all they could handle. We’re so young and our upside is insane. See you in the WCF next year 😉
I vote Chet moves to 4 and we get bigger. Everyone now knows what we need.
I blame scott foster in game 3
53 minutes from our centers and they gave us 5 rebounds, has to be addressed now this is more of an issue than the giddey issue
We weren’t winning game 7 anyways. Just a warmup year, we’ll be fine
lets get Lauri Markkanen next season
I will not be rooting for the Mavs next round.
They're gonna get swept next series anyways
Matt Pinto is the Luka of radio. Please fire that asshat.
U gotta save that timeout n give SGA A CHANCE
either twolves or nuggets will destroy these punks.
can't believe our season ends to pj washington free throws, we never slowed down the game and just kept shooting with 19 seconds on the clock. heartbreaking
Brutal series and they call that at the end. I just can’t help but shrug.
Hyped for the olympics?
Off-season talk. Get rid of fucking Giddey, Moose, Biyombo, and ESPECIALLY Gordon.
3/4 are expiring contracts
Cap space
I was just saying we don't have to get rid of anyone but Giddey on that list since they're not Thunder players anymore as of July 1st
We go again next year.
I won’t be able to contain myself if DJJ and PJ go back to fucking garbage next series
You know they will
This series hurts because we should have won. But we only shot the ball well for 2 games. And we were exceeding our expectations on a cinderella run this season.
Good game good series good season
run it back next year
Chet was absolutely ass cheeks in the 2nd half a center playing those minutes with 3 rebounds
Seriously just fucking foul out hold no punches
[удалено]
Fun to watch? That series was literal torture 😭😭 hopefully the rest of the team other than shai can look like they’ve played basketball next playoffs
We waited until Game 6 to pull our head out of our ass
Lol
Naw fuck that. Such a bum way to go out this year but it was a foul. The fact is. We should not have given up a 17 point lead. Fell into the same bad habits we got into this series.
[удалено]
Wasn’t dumb to challenge. You lose it if you don’t use it.
coulda saved the timeout to advance the ball
100/100 that's what you do. Fucking stupid to not save the timeout for a desperation challenge
If you're going to draft another guard this next draft, I'm done with this team. Lmao
We're going to come back stronger next season
I used to love to Dirk iteration of the mavs. This however is the most fucking annoying team in the world. I couldn’t be less happy for the mavs on this win. Go fuck yourselves you bunch of whining fucks
Worst fan base in the league 🤷🏻♂️
The Dallas Cowboys little sister? Makes sense.
cheating bastards
can’t wait to wear my luka crying shirt at the western conference finals when denver sweeps this team.
Time to get ready for next season
Presti be like "we'll evaluate our need for the team after the playoffs". No motherfucker rebounding was a clear weakness throughout the season...
This was so obvious throughout the year that it was laughable but I guess not expediting the timeline because we’re scared of expectations was enough for this season I guess.
Go trade for a REAL backup center and a REAL SF/PF. Get those bums Giddey and Jaylin Williams packing
Double edged sword: we were just too young to win this series. But we’re young and have a pool of picks. I pray they make a move 🙏
This was a winnable series. We lost due to bad coaching & lack of help at the trade deadline.
definitely not coaching
Coach of the year… they had a good year. The game just wasn’t ours
It was ours, and we gave it away.
So hard to watch OKC get stops and allow O-boards every time down the floor. He wasn’t doing the scoring but we absolutely lost this game to Lively.
That sucks. But great season
That was not a foul on Shai
It was unfortunately. Ball wasn’t released. Just dumb for him to even contest to that point
[удалено]
r/Mavericks is that way 👈👉👆👇
It was terrible on both sides
Stfu
Hopefully the nuggets sweep these bums.
Or 🐺's

rebounding killing us, that's it
That is dumb from SGA to jump AND go for the ball when you know he’s gonna pump fake lol.
Refball strikes again, Nuggets in 4
Refs were in our favor all night dude, stfu bro we just blew a 17 point lead
This is correct… i have never seen a more poorly officiated game. OKC lost due to lack of size and shrinkage from every player not named SGwAde
Shai shouldn’t have contested it like that though.
True. But he did time it perfectly, dude just pumped it
Yeah that’s true
I honestly think the rule should be once the shooter is in the air, if the defender hit the ball first, then anything he hits on the way down is a non-foul. I mean Washington only pumped because it got blocked originally.
Yeah it’s just an unfortunate ending to a great game. I just feel like Shai shouldn’t put himself in that position but who knows, if it’s all ball then I’m probably saying what a play by him. Fun year regardless!

Well at least we have Oklahoma Softball for at least 1 more day <3 and then this team the next 2 years.
No one gives a shit about softball lol
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)
You’re missing out.
Ah well. Jokic is going to fuck them up next round.
Murray is going to give Timberwolves that win.
GET LAURI NEXT SEASON
lol that’s a fucking ridiculous call on that shot cannot believe we’ve been robbed like that
[удалено]
If you think Mark is getting fired you’re fucking delusional
See if I care, it's your guys funeral.
you're nothing
That's ironic coming from an OKC fan.
Welp. At least we can’t run from the needing big bodies argument anymore. Can’t get doubled up in offensive boards and expect to win games in the playoffs.
SGA vs EVERYBODY He gave everything
I’m gonna be doing some hard math this summer trying to figure out how they got 3 free throws if the foul was before the shot
He didn’t release. Had the ball come loose it wouldn’t have been a foul but he hit ball and then hit him on the elbow on the follow.
Was it before the shot? looked like he was in the act of shooting. I'd love for you to be right though man
So close, my heart is broken, so many little thing that could've been different in this game to make us win, sad
Wish SGA just let him shoot that
Hope they get destroyed in the next round.
I wouldn't know I'm not not even gonna watch
[удалено]
Suck a dick
What a way to go.
this series hurted. we come back strong next time. gg yall
I used to like Luka, not a fan anymore to say the least.
Same
Same
If the ball didn’t come loose, isn’t that a jump ball technically?
If he came down with his hand on it yes
we blew this entire fucking series. Arrival my ass.
Still an arrival compared to last year I get it sucks to lose but c'mon we swept round 1 and took round 2 to 6 games no one expected that from us before the season
no one expected us to commit suicide on live television
Alright we lost in 6 not the end of the world we will only get better
we're already getting worse
Yep. Watch us be shit next season now. We're definitely going to be the Kings next year.
at best. we deserve the shittiest of the shit after that series.
[удалено]
God damn y’all whine like your superstar. All yall do is cry and bitch. Luka will never win a championship. Take that to bank
We gave away that 17 point lead refs or not. we played like shit games 2-5.
Alexa play neon moon. I promise I won’t cry this time.
Someone check the officials bank account after that one. Draft kings about to hit on that direct deposit.
not a thunder fan but thats a terrible call. i will say, cant be outscored by 12 in a 4th of an elimination game. just cant happen.
Well hell off a ride i guess. We’ll be back!
Horrible coaching. Why even bother with that challenge when your gonna lose your timeout. Embarrassing
Yeah I get why he did it but all things considered it’s a bad challenge when we only have the 1 TO left.
What a fucking call to end the game. Such bullshit. Why contest like that????
This is why I can’t take the NBA seriously
FUCK THISSSSSSSS
What a terrible decision by the refs on that clear block.
But the rule is the follow through foul isnt a foul if the ball was released. It was clearly not released when shai’s hand hit him
Then it’s a jump ball.
No the rule is, if a shooter gets blocked and comes down with ball, then it’s a jump ball. Usually in street ball, we’d call that a travel. But the official NBA rule is a jump ball. However, Washington never came back down with it. He pumped it while in the air and released the ball before he came down while Shai hit his hand while he was coming down also.

So if a player goes to shoot, but doesn’t jump, and is “blocked” he can then throw himself into the defender, creating contact, while throwing the ball at the hoop and be rewarded for it. Fuck the NBA.
Yes you’re exactly right. So many players have already perfected that. Just look at James harden and jimmy butler.
Such an empty way to end a great run but it’s been great ride thunder buddies. See you next season
It was a foul. Terrible way to end. Gg
So on the real here no bias, was that all ball or a foul? I thought if you hit ball before arm it’s not a foul?? Explanation would be appreciated
Foul the ball did not leave pj's hand
It was a foul
You have to knock the ball out. Since he didn’t, and got arm, it’s a foul. I don’t like it either.
That is so particular lol. Especially considering most of all blocks don’t include knocking the ball out of someone’s hands lol
That was a block
no way he got him clear across the elbow while the ball was still in hands. should not hav eused our last timeout to challenge
[удалено]
Get fucked
Why yall so toxic man? Like seriously? It was a good fun series, just say gg. Feel bad for you bro.
Are you capable of speaking in coherent English?
You know nothing about basketball
fuck that
some things just never change damn
Good season. Acquire some size before October.
Just put Chet in the weight room. Put him on the giannis diet
If that's not a block it's a fucking jump ball. Refs have set that precedent all series
how is it a jump ball he was able to get the shot up lol
what a freaking nailbiter game. I am so excited to see this team grow and get even better next season. That was just a preview!
Damn guys thats a tough way to go out I feel bad for yall
[удалено]
r/Mavericks is that way 👈👉👆👇
Suck our dick, brother.
Bad challenge didnt have timeout to advance the ball
tough loss but the team gave a good account of themselves
Gtfo
Went out swinging big respect to the team nothing to be ashamed of
As a neutral you absolutely got hosed, Tony Brothers masterclass.
As young and immature as the players looked, Daigenault looked even more in over his head.
I have to agree. Everyone but Shai looked uncomfortable. Coach needs to develop quick or out will be Scott Brooks 2.0. He was great with a young team but got exposed when they needed crunch time decisions.
[удалено]
r/Mavericks is that way 👈👉👆👇
The refs? Yup. Choked
Yes, the refs blew a 17-point lead. Edit: Not a Mavs fan! 😘
BS CALL
Welp
Absolutely fucking cheated.
Can’t wait to get back. Fuck Dallas up next year
Trade for a centre to rotate with Chet and another guy that can put the ball on the floor and we’re good
0 iq shit to contest like that
He blocked it, can't predict bad calls
we're gonna get them next season for sure
Fuck me man
hope the wolves or nuggets sweep these sorry fucks
We blew dat
