They make many highlights, very entertaining team.

Its the only game of the night, dumbdumb

*well-deserved

My thoughts through the game:“ they will make all spots in the Top 5„ and voila😂

The announcer says, “ to the winner, go the spoils and all five plays.” Literal explanation for your ignorant comment if you had listened and didn’t get those chubby thumbs typing. Lmao

Luka looked like an Indian swami cobra snake-charmer there. 🤣🕺🏻🐍 An if u wanna know why Luka was giving Gobert an earful, watch Rudy's cheap shot at 0:34 ... very dangerous for the eyes. He also hit Luka with a closed fist.

Comment of the year 😂😂😂😂

Should have been and 1 but wolves casual fans thinks refs helped the mavs

its def a great shot and entertaining, but one of the best? thats a big stretch. unless you started watching basketball for like 2 years or smth

@@andreic8786 it’s one of the more difficult shots you’ll ever see for sure come on

U must be young

Yeah, it was Kyriesque :)

Well deserved. Gobert tried to eye-rake Kyrie at 0:34 and also hit Luka with a closed fist. 🤬🤬

His legs are back!! And don't forget how Kyrie carried him and thge team in the 4th quarter til the end.

Many analysts even said that Minnesota has 3 Lu Dorts to stop Luka 😂😂😂

@kingkirc03 Sure, sure they do. Luka is like a force of nature when healthy ... he can't be "stopped," only contained. God I enjoyed that comeback! My mouth was open in disbelief the whole 4th qtr. 🔥🔥🔥

I was one of those people. I didn't think the mavs could score against all those wing defenders with Rudy in the middle. Wrong!

@mitchellholcomb1561 well you were right with the pre- Feb 2024 "old" Mavs. Everything changed with Lively mm maturing, along with the arrival of Gafford and Washington. New Mavs with the ability to run the pick n roll with the best of them. 🔥

Lucki that gafford didn't land on Conley's foot

@@indraahmad2263 FR ... ankles and achilles were all at risk there and Mavs are thin at center.

almost end Mike's NBA career

if conly didn't flop on that play maybe that would've went different lol gafford didn't even push off

" Lively by name - Lively by game"

We're a #4, where we always get up off the floor!

That's called an eye-rake. Very dangerous and very illegal. Great catch there, the League should fine him for that BS, and the earful he got from Luka after the winning shot was well-deserved. He also hit Luka with a closed fist. 🤬🤬🤬

That wasn't Gobert, it was the player behind him. Don't know his name, but look at the arm from behind.

​@@corey2232that's definitely Gobert hitting kyrie's face bro lol

@corey2232 a) It was clearly Gobert. b) The other player had a white wristband and Gobert did not. c) Run it in slo'mo at .25x using the video feature, and it is 100% Gobert hitting him with a left cross to the face. Gobert is a solid defender, and he ain't no Draymond Green, but those are dirty plays ... and so was handing the ball to Luka at the half.

im always amazed how these blatant dirty plays dont get noticed. And then people wonder why Luka complains about refs so much. Some refs just suck donkeyballs

LET'S GO RANDY!!!

@@silasgaertner6296 Nice! 🙂

Luka looked like an Indian swami cobra snake-charmer there. 🤣🕺🏻🐍

I bet you never been good at sports cause if you were you would know the adrenaline rush when you make something happens.

@@mariosarka3807 Stop assuming things you know nothing about and stop white-knighting for a dirty, dangerous play. There are more. Read all the articles online about him hitting Luka with a closed fist dude.

@@mariosarka3807 Read my edited comment bro. lol

Luka looked like an Indian swami cobra snake-charmer there. 🤣🕺🏻🐍

Specially when Kyrie falls back in love with the threes. ♥ III ❤

Thanks very much Matt Winer.

Great analysis. That 6'4" size is catching up to him.

The number of the beast

"Translate to English" = "WOUNDS" 😂

I’m not hating on Luka or the Mavs, just seemed like a travel to me if you look closely. He moves both legs after he holds the ball in his hand

I think he was taking revenge for Gobert's dirty play. Check out the attempted eye-rake at 0:34 He also hit Luka with a closed fist.

Gather steps before the shot

Great question. The league changed the travel rule in 2019 to accomodate the "Harden step-back three" (invented by James Harden) and also to speed up the game with more action, more fast breaks, and more wind-up dunks. So, when he picks up his dribble it is called a "gather" step, and then he is allowed two more "additional" steps. Once he plants the foot on the second additional step it becomes his "pivot foot" and the planting of the second foot after that doesn't count as a step. He can then launch into his jump shot and must release the ball befoire the pivot foot hits the court again. You can run the video in slo-mo (use .25x in the gear icon settings) to see that it was perfectly legal under the new rules.

So, he gathers the ball on his left foot, takes the first additional step back on his right, takes the second additional step on his left and plants it as his pivot foot. When his right foot hits the court it becomes his non-pivot foot and is not a step. It's a thing of beauty. This is also used when you see players do the "step-through" in the lane off their non-pivot foot and thrwo the ball off the backboard, get the ball off the backboard and dunk it. Same concept.

not a travel you're no referee and a player. It's 2-0 get healed.

Same reaction. That’s flopping of the worst kind.

With all due respect, read the rules bro. The defender may NOT move forward into an offensive player in the restricted area (basically that little semi-circle and below). Rules are rules, especially in the Chip semis.
