    Anyone else watching this on Sling? Seems like there might be an outage or something.

    its funny hearing stan van gundy complain about the mavs style of play especially luka, and reggie is slurpping curry the entire. If their was no score you would be hard press to know who is winning the actual game

    Golden State would be down 30 if not for Curry. The way the rest of the team played, they are lucky to be only trailing by 14.

    What a performance by Luka, Brunson and Curry in the first half.

    Brunson 20 pts 7-10 4-5 3pt
    Luka 24 pts 7-12 3-5 3pt
    Curry 20 pts 7-12 5-7 3pt

    Wiggins, Klay and the Warriors need to defend better to have a chance. Luka and Brunson getting into the paint on straight 1v1 drives.

    Great adjustments by Kidd/Luka not using as many pick and rolls targeting Looney and attacking earlier.

    First good game of the conf finals. Hoping for Luka/Curry to catch fire and have a buzzer beating shoot out to finish this game.

    Dallas just doesn't have the consistency / mental makeup of a championship team.

    Stepped on their throats in the first half, then completely let the Warriors off the hook in the second.

    Entire Mavs team is getting rolled by Kevon Looney, of all people.

    They can thank Green for going out for this run. Mavs have no answer for Looney

    Seeing teams trying to isolate Looney is so reminiscent of him defending Harden in those warriors rockets playoff matchups.

    I told you guys for years, Harden never had enough quality help to beat the Warriors even WITHOUT Durant. - which was a 72-win NBA Finalists Warriors. With Durant and CP3 joining the series, it was a miracle we were even in the series. We needed one more piece, and Tilman wasn't willing to sanction spending Luxury Tax without being guaranteed a title. No one is guaranteed a title obviously.

    In truth I'm sure Cuban knows this is a transition year and anything they win this season is a bonus. The big moves will start this summer for them.

    Interesting watching Doncic try to do the same thing as Harden now. Granted, Doncic is much better than Harden in the playoffs, but I believe it takes more than just an MVP to beat the Warriors imo.

    Checking in on better Harden, has he demolished the Warriors yet? That's what winners do apparently.
