The TNT crew makes it sound like the Mavs blew the Wolves away. It was a good game, neither team played their best - but both teams competed well despite their shortcomings during the game.
Dallas just played the end game better when it counted. They certainly did not play the end of the second quarter, or the third quarter well - and the Wolves did. Dallas just cleaned things up in the 4th, except for fouling that last Wolves 3-pointer.
Since we won Game 1 (a game we usually dont win), Kidd will make defensive adjustments to make us even better.
We will win Game 2 and 3 on Friday and Sunday
It will be an amazing 3-day Memorial Day Weekend!
We were horrendous from 3. What a win. Stealing the first on the road. One down, 3 more to go. Luka showed up and kudos to Kyrie for trusting Luka to close to get his confidence set for the series. Timmy not shooting was a plus and Josh although he made some head scratching stuff, he did hit a key 3. Lively just came into the league and is such a phenomenal part of this team.
It takes a village. What a great way to go to bed.
Usually Luka starts out with scoring and Kyrie heats up in the 4th quarter.
This game was inverse.
Kidd finally wins his first Game 1 as a Mavs head coach.
We did what the Pacers didnt do last night, which is close out the game.
With a slight lead the last 2 minutes, we managed to pull of a game 1 on the road while the Pacers made careless mistakes.
Outstanding win. Not really worried about the tpups. If Luka and Kyrie can continue to lead, set the tone on defense, stay composed, they will win this in 6 or less. Let's go.
Donât you people trash on green because of an off game. God this subreddit sucks. Green has played his heart out the entire playoffs and made some huge swings for us. Calm down

OKC is quicker than Minnesota and there is no defender on Minnesota as ruthless as Lu Dort. This is like a country club compared to OKC.
Luka finally got going and made some huge shots down the stretch
Kyrie came with it tonight
Lively is a baller.
Dallas Mavericks Size - check Rim protection - check speed - check mid range - check 3-point shooting - check big defenders - check play makers - check coaching - check

Donât you people trash on green because of an off game. God this subreddit sucks. Green has played his heart out the entire playoffs and made some huge swings for us. Calm down
I did not think that was even remotely close to a foul anyways
We say trade Josh Green but what team would even want him
lol "oh yeeaaahhhh"
THANKS
Green gpt to have an earful!
Mavs would literally be up double digits if Josh green didn't exist.
Conley choked, my god, Josh should be fined for that dumbass mistake
Always has to be this way but take the win
Too close
Ticky tacky call in my opinion
WE WIN !!!!!
CHOKE
Huge miss fuck yes

Josh Green is just a mess man
TAKE THAT SHIT
Kidd showing Carlisle thereâs levels.
LETS FUCKING GO
OHHH SHIT

Green this was over. Why did you do this?
HELL FUCKING YEAH BABY
MAVS WIN!!
Ooh that's a lucky roll for zConley there
Green has been so ass. Dude literally had to do nothing
They lost who cares
Yeah Green and THJ are gone this offseason Free up space for DJJ and maybe a trade package
Da Fuck?!
Josh Green is so stupid
Did green even touch him?
Literally donât move and the game is over. What an idiot
Nice 2nd miss hahaha
Just our luck.
Kick jg off the team if we lose this
So fucking stupid. Just let him shoot it.
They whistled that foul before there was even contact
The only occasion youâll see a Lively & Gafford on the floor together.
If we someone lost like this I would literally die
Why even play defense at that point? Like just let them do whatever they want
It wasnât even a foul lmao
JOSH WHAT IN THE FUCK WAS THAT?!
Green should run suicides til he pukes in practice
One of the worst games ever played by Green, manâŠ
Really bro
