That's really got to suck being there, thinking they have won and finding out your team loses on review.

 

[CodeBreaker]

KD 7-33 lol

 

[occupant]

26% team shooting pct with KD going 7 of 33 with only 2 3-pointers?

I was trying to find a emoticon that was like hitting yourself, but could not find one.

 

[Ragingcroc]

But still, how do you let Ray fucking Felton tear you apart? I thought he ate his way out of the league years ago.

You don't say?

And the isotopes win a game! The isotopes win a game!

That was one of the worst games Ive ever seen KD play. Hope he got that out of his system.

 

[handicappers]

Something needs to change here. I am all for a Carlisle firing because he's not good enough to enforce motivation. But Cubes and Nelson love him and say he's here for life. The team is not going to get better without some serious chill inducing coaching. Avery lit a fire under this team for a couple years. It burned out, but it was because the league was changing. Boston and LA found a way to beat the fundamental system of the spurs, mavs, suns, and pistons and Avery could not do anything about it and his style was done. But the mavs need a head coach who can get the players that can defend the big scoring juggernauts. It's not Carlisle.

hahahaha

That really was a sloppy game offensively for both teams. Both sides did play some good defense at times but there were so many unforced turnovers and just really bad shot selections all night by both teams.

Have to hand it to the officials at the end. That took some stones to overturn that shot and call it against the home team. Majority of the time, home team will get that call because home team.

I don't see it that way because the call was very obvious in replay. No question about it.

I imagine those refs feel way more pressure to get it right from the millions watching on tv than they do from the thousands in the stands who want it to go their way. If they didn't overturn that... it would be by far the biggest story of the day and it wouldn't be a good look for the NBA.

I would typically agree but it was clearly after the buzzer. there would be so much shit if it didn't get overturned. I do commend them on letting them play at the end as there could have been more fouls called

That is why I did not want the Spurs to play Dallas.
Memphis is tough and should never be taken lightly or the Spurs will lose as well.

but Dallas is a veteran pain in the ass team.
Dallas is far too proud to roll over for anyone.

And I hope the Spurs did watch this game though and don't take game 2 lightly.

It's a safe bet that Pop watched it and will be telling them aaaallllllllll about it.

 

[bksballer89]

Wondering if Westbrook will be dancing pre-game tonight

 

[bksballer89]

No shock with how OKC came out today

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

No Deron Williams is killing Dallas.

He was actually a big difference maker in game 2 helping avoid the slow start.

 

[Wishbone]

I think everyone saw this game coming.
