6/12 - Finals Game 3 @ DAL – Five Wear Green
- Thread starter RSN Diaspora
- Start date
I'll deal with zero Cuban slander. I'm paying something like 300% less for generics from his company than I was through my local pharmacy. Cost Plus Drugs is GREAT.
I pray to Zeus it is a next gen version of the old titanium necklaces Beckett, Timlin, et al sported circa 2007.
But probably headphones of some kind.

Luka’s done. Instead of taking responsibility for his atrocious defense and poor decision making he blamed the officials and said he doesn’t think he should be allowed to foul out in the Finals. If that’s where his head is at it’s a wrap.
Good for Windhorst for calling out Luka, but in a way, it's not entirely 77's fault. Part of it falls on the NBA itself. For whatever reason, the fact that Luka gets away with repeated and myriad tantrums by the league without getting T'd up or fined on a regular basis contributed to the creation a monstrous, entitled, spoiled brat. Hopefully Luka takes Windy's criticism to heart and gets to work because he's a tremendous talent.
It’s really wild that a league which used to T up Rasheed Wallace for *looking* at a ref let’s Luka get away with bitching out the refs literally every time he touches the ball.
I'm not watching the post game, but he's been wearing this "digital wellness platform" recently.
"Use Hapbee’s patented technology to bio-stream compounds like caffeine & melatonin digitally - without you having to ingest them...Hapbees’ tiny magnetic songs naturally stimulate bio-receptors in cells to recreate the same sensations without the side effects....Over 25 blends are available to help imitate the natural magnetic effects of substances that people use every day to sleep, enhance their mood, get work done and relax. The best part is that as soon after you turn Hapbee off, your body simply stops feeling the blend. No lingering side effects. Nothing left in your body to metabolize or eliminate."
It’s kind of wild to watch him, I think a lot of his offense is based around trying to juke his defender so bad that he can coast to an open layup. So he’ll take an open lane and instead of attacking he’ll crossover two more times to get it just a slightly bit more open when more directness would do. But with good defenders all over the floor it’s just not really happening for him. He was really held up by his outside shooting tonight and continued to be not great inside the arc anytime the D provided decent resistance.
Video quality's a little off, but it looks like Davis started to call the foul then tried to check his swing. Sounds like he even blew the whistle briefly.
It's not even that Luka didn't get a superstar whistle. He did. He committed about twelve fouls yesterday. That he managed to be so stupid and such a horrific defender to still get six of them called is entirely on him. Dude is a clown, his whole attitude on the court is garbage.
JM said 2 things postgame that jumped out.
1st Q..."we had 1.24326 (i made up the number) expected points when we were missing, so i knew we'd be ok."
4th Q Dallas run..."it was really just 6 possessions where we made the wrong read against the defense. Shots were there."
JM is HAL. "I'm sorry Luka, I can't let you do that."

Same. I kind of raised an eyebrow and said to my son that could be big... he really can't afford to pick up another here.
Glad you're starting to come around.It ain't over yet, but....I like our chances.
Reminded me of LeBron fouling out late in a close ECF game against us in 2012 I think.
Wilt certainly didn't. But he should have (Grrrr.)
Along with Jerry West's 60-footer in 1970, also seared into my head is the 1972 Finals. Reed had missed much of the season. Knicks won game 1 in LA because they couldn't miss. In a tight game 4, there was a no-call on Wilt (who had 5 fouls) late, continuing his run of NEVER fouling out of an NBA game. Lakers won in OT, went up 3-1, and it was over in 5. 3 Lakers ended up with 5 fouls. West got his ring.
It’s not the blowby highlight tape from game B but this is Luka in a nutshell:

I always liked our chances. Said it a bunch of times that I thought they should/will win the series.
Just giving you a hard time after your "it's not hard to see how the Mavs can win games this series" post.
Ha. Well they still could, good chance of winning last night if Luka wasn't a dummy. But hey, Boston is 3-0 and with all the "coulds" and "mights" in the world, Dallas hasn't beaten Boston yet this year (Boston is 5-0 vs. Dallas) so maybe it's not actually possible! Which, of course, would be more than fine with me.
Here, this one’s pretty good:

I mean, Luka was bad defensively in games 1-2; this game though, he was other worldly bad. No amount of offense can make up for his lack of effort and sometimes frustrated recklessness while defending.
I was gonna say he looked like a kid on my son's fourth grade intramural team - just no idea of where to go or what to do as the ball moves around him.
Someone needs to make a gif of that play where JT goes around Kyrie leaving him looking everywhere but at the ball.
Then I would insert it right here.
Two minute report is out. The only missed calls are: they acknowledge missing D White’s attempted intentional foul on Hardaway’s three, and they missed a foul call, Green fouling Horford when Al dribbled the ball into the front court and then (as they called it at the time) lost it out of bounds.
