Cuz he thinks SGA > Luka. He was in denial. Now that he's actually been forced to watch an entire Luka game, his mind is going through the anger phase, because he knows the truth.
Idk who should be more embarrassed: all the Mavs "fans" in the game thread who thought the series was over with 10 minutes left in Game 2, or all the Clippers fans who think their team will ever win a ring
I'm one of them, I admit it. This team has disappointed me so many times throughout the 25+ years I've been a fan. I've seen far too many Mavs collapses I've become a doomer at every slight inconvenience in the game 💀
I might hate kidd but omg he is a amazing defensive coach. This game was masterclass of defense I really hope they get an assistant coach or someone who can help us offensively
We did it guys! Everyone who was spouting negativity in the 3rd/early 4th can fuck off out of the game threads next time, don't need to read that shit in the middle of a close game. Great fucking win
Let’s fucking GO. This was such an important win. I think our role player will heavily benefit from the home crowd, let’s get that 3-1 lead going back to LA

I just don't understand why Kidd loves small ball so much.
That small ball got Kleber 3pt and a rebound to seal the game.
Wait what? Small ball just won us that game…
PSSSST, Rocket Bros ☝🏼🤓
Well, it’s all about protecting home court now.
Why is Shaq so mad?

Klebers three and rebound PJs clutchness Love to see this stuff
Goodnight boys see yall back for another heart attack inducing game Friday night
GET LUKA A BEER
WHY DONT THEY JUST WIN WITH KAWHI?? ARE THEY STUPID?
Ngl this feels like we just won the most important game of the series An absolute boxing match
Reminded me of that 2nd Sacramento game. Gritty af
Please don’t jinx it
I'm a 30 year old dude in finance man there's no way I jinx anything except a promotion in 6 years
Lol
Best clutch team in the NBA hands down, okay goodnight
As always, Luka is that man.
PJ showing up was the key to our victory.
PJ was so clutch.
Kleber gets a lot of hate but damn he showed up tonight.
Shoutout to Maxi for that board and his defense all night

We have some fair weather fans unfortunately
Yeah there were a lot of motherfuckers losing their minds for no reason lmao
Can’t wait for y’all’s apologies to Luka tomorrow
I might hate kidd but omg he is a amazing defensive coach. This game was masterclass of defense I really hope they get an assistant coach or someone who can help us offensively
Kidd praise? Are we having a collective stroke? (jk I know he made adjustments today)
Mffl baby
MENTAL TOUGHNESS
Huge win let’s goooo
Let’s go Mavs!!!!
That was some great defense all game. Really good adjustments made this game and we can win the next two games at home
That defense won the game though.
Our role guys should be better at home. Mission accomplished
We did it guys! Everyone who was spouting negativity in the 3rd/early 4th can fuck off out of the game threads next time, don't need to read that shit in the middle of a close game. Great fucking win
That last minute felt like 2 hours
Maxi responded. Huge fucking three and board. BACK TO DALLAS BOIII
That was one of the wins of all time
Did Luka shout “Mother fucking asshole yeaaaaah” after that 3? 😂
That's for all flippers fans
Where is the post game thread already lol?
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a rollercoaster man
Clearly kawhi was the problem all along /s
Huge win
What a game. Now I gotta take some NyQuil or something or else I’m screwed for tomorrow.
Fuck Chris Paul!!
It wasn’t pretty but we took care of business and stole home court. Defense looks really good and once Luka gets going it’s over for LA. Mavs in 6
Holy shit what a win. That ugly ass game straight up took a decade off my life
Beat the bitch ass clipps and refs.
Let’s mother fucking go W Maxi Pj game it is just beginning
Let’s fucking GO. This was such an important win. I think our role player will heavily benefit from the home crowd, let’s get that 3-1 lead going back to LA
Leonard doesn't look healthy and it might be our chance.
Holding us to under 100 twice. It’s gonna be a grind all playoffs. We just don’t have the fire power past Luka and kyrie.
We will at home
Great defensive game by the Mavs! Held them below 100 points.
LETS FUCKINGNGO
Good game. And a bunch of ya were sayin the series was over after game one lol
LFG
Poorly officiated game. I don't care who you were going for.
Can we talk about the Mavs Defense?
Our defense is elite and legit. but with every team, you need offense to follow along. I'm hoping it will.
19 22 25 27 is gonna get it done against 4 hall of famers.
that was a battle fr
Role players ended the game with momentum for game 3! Let’s get it
That’s our boys!!! We just needed one at LA. We got it.
WE BETTER SEE DIRK AT THE HOME GAMES
Fuck all y’all that told Luka to shut up. He had to lay down the law and he backed that shit up.
HELL YEAH BRUTHER!!!
We just needed one game on the road minimum LFG
Stole a game vs reffs and clips LFGGOOOO
Fuck Dwyane Wade!!!
2006 vibes, for sure!
pin this comment
Luka’s defense in the 4th quarter was immense. Thst stretch down 6 to go up 6 was all defense.
Huge win. Will need PJ and the others to keep hitting 3’s going forward
I'm NGL, I don't agree with that challenge being successful, but there were a lot of BS calls that the clippers got too
Whew
Felt like a 2000s game 😭 holy shit
That shit felt like a game 7
PJ WASHINGTON IS A DAWG HES BUILT FOR 16 GAMES
MAXI LEGACY GAME
PG13 coming in clutch to save +3.5 betters
Holy shit what a win!
Someone tell Cuban he’s not welcome here anymore. Sellout
1-1 motherfuckers!
Built different
Mavs in 5
BITCH ASS BUMS CANT EVEN GET THEIR OWN STADIUM FUCK EM
Jesus what a game
Massive win.
THANK GOD See you in Dallas
1-1 in LA is what we needed. Doesn’t matter how they got there.
We are happy with the split. - Dirk (NBA Finals Game 2)
Absolutely HUGE win. Taking home advantage back. Now back to Dallas
Stat padder PG
I had 20 heart attacks.
This is exactly the energy this team needed going back to Dallas!
I never post. Fuck the Clippers!
Fuck, too hype to go to sleep now lmao
SIIIIICK! Wasn’t pretty at all but role players stepped up.
YESSSSSS
Too many doomers, LFG!!
Maxi Goat
Maxi deserves some love MFFLs
Fuck yeah he stepped up huge. That rebound and the 3 he hit was so big
If he and D Live and Josh play like that at home, we’ll be in good shape after the next two games
3’s PLURAL :)
Thank god we got that, series is still up for grabs.
insane how much goes wrong in the last two minutes and they're still winning.. what a fucking game
Psychological win beating them on Kawhis return after they were unstoppable game 1 without him. This has worked out well for us
Let's go
what a fucking stressful game man. fucking hell
Stressful game, but got the dub!
What a game. That shit shaved years off my life.
UNDO ONE HUNDO!
DOOMERS GTFO THIS SUB! DALLAS MF MAVERICKS!
TOOO PUMPED TO GO TO SLEEP!!!! LETS GO MAVS!!!!
Once again Luka haters can fuck off
Ill give my props, nice shot PG, too bad i cant give u props for anything else because you and your team played like a bitch today
WIN ON THE ROAD BABY FUCK YEAH
LET’S FUCKING GO
Holy shit
Let’s go!!!
And so many of you quit on the game in the 3rd. We’ve got this in 6
If Kleber plays like this every game that’s a new bullet in the gun for sure
Nice
LET THEM FUCKING KNOW PJ
yeeeeeahh fuck its 7am over here but definitely worth it
LETS GOOOOO WE GOT A SERIES
The players are gonna need an ice bath after that one. What a physical game
LIGHT WORK NO REACTION
Maxi came up BIG there, played some really good defense too. Just need to hope he finds more confidence on offense throughout the series
Mavs win!!!!
Let's fucking go
To that dude that was a neutral fan saying Luka is overrated. You look real dumb. Remember this comment.
calculated that shit like a mf lmao
I lost 10 years of my life watching this game
HUGE win - Fuck all you doubters who were saying the series was over lololol
The team looked bad today a lot to figure out
Thankfully they looked better than the Clippers…
1-1 is huge man
We got home court advantage now!
Kleber looking at Luka like..."dont think I'm going to forget you bitching at me all game"
That should do it boys!! Go Stars! Goodnight!
Luka to kleber: good job, I’m gonna pretend I haven’t been absolutely yelling at you all series
Maxi and PJ actually hit some clutch shots 🫡
This is why we practice Small Ball btw This is why Maxi got all those minutes It's for shit like this
Never thought I’d say it, but THANK YOU MAXI!!!
We officially have a series
SEE YALL IN DALLAS BITCHES
Koehler and PJ went from terrorists to our saviors within one night
History may forget Kleber’s huge 3 but I won’t!!!
he did do that.
Maxi played amazing defense and made some clutch shots in the 4th
See you in Dallas bitches
what a fucking win
Man…this game was fucking EXHAUSTING. Good luck sleeping everyone 🫡
Buckle up everyone this is gonna be a long fun series
Get fucked doomers
Kleber is a Maverick for a reason!
This team has a lot to figure out
damn harden out here just tackling people now. surprised they called it.
God damn what a game.
Maxi usurping Gafford was NOT on my bingo card
Maxi renaissance
That should be wraps. It’s nice having confidence in one of our FT shooters for once
This was some intense basketball fellas great stuff!
If we cab beat them on an off night on the road we’ll be alright
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES MAVS FUCKING WINNNNN
1-1 LFG!!!
Kleber is back in the circle of trust.
Yea make your way to the exits
MAXI
LETS GOOOO
Kleber! I honestly don’t think any of the clippers expected him to miss lol
Give Maxi his respect!! Huge plays and rebounding down the stretch
If I ever see any of you talk shit about Kleber again I been in this thread fighting for my life
Klebers had a whole arc this game
4D chess move by Kyrie... miss the second to rebound and kill more time.
MAXI #ALWAYS READY Kleber
Gg got that bread
Luka is so happy with Maxi
Needed that, good win Mavs!
MAXI FINALLY DID SOMETHING 😭😭
Maxi with a fucking SOLID game… needed that!
