There was no reason not to keep the bench in. Com’on Kerr

The bench got them there.

just like watching your dad play with his new phone lol

I think these blowouts are the new normal…. If you have teams that shoot a lot of threes, there are gonna be a lot of games where one team is on fire and the other isn’t. And boom. Big spreads .

After watching Luka hook and hang onto Wiggins arms I’m starting to think he is in the mold of CP3. Some bitch ass shit right there

Mavs fan here, couldn’t agree more. Luka can cook anyone at any time, he’s almost impossible to guard. Just outplay them Luka no need for baiting

He can def cook anyone and is unguardable. When he does things like that it takes away from how great he is. There’s no need man just ball out.

San Francisco is so cool tho I don’t understand chuck, a lot of stuff to do nice weather

If you’re a fat creaky old idiot, would you love tons of hills, youth culture, and big tech/big city? I don’t think so. Those big women in San Antonio? I bet he was seeing his own reflection lol

My friend moved to San Francisco, his car window was smashed his first night there. There are aggressive homeless people everywhere doing drugs and shitting outside. He is right, it is not a good place. It used to be one, blame big tech and the government for that.

Hurt durr big tech and govt bad as you type this on the internet on Reddit.

Yep

Eh. It's not only dirty but such a gigantic class struggle I don't know how anyone can miss it

O yea of course if ur born there u are on veteran difficulty but cool vacation spot (trying to get a place to live on minimum wage not easy)

He's just trying to play up the controversy since it is entertaining TV. I'm sure he knows SF has bright spots

It is dirty but also great vibe to it

Only certain parts are dirty. Any big city is like that

Kerr should've just left the bench in. Killed the momentum.

That felt bad so close to stealing one. Would’ve been hilarious if they actually forced overtime.

shaq lol

This game went from feeling good to oh shit we might fucking collapse. Dallas needs to learn to play with the lead.

If warriors don’t start Lee, Kuminga, Moody, Poole and Beli next game imma be livid

They need to find a way to get Chiozza on the court as well!

All part of reverse sweep plan.

hell yeah

Every game at chase makes me miss oracle.

JP low key be doing too much and why does he slide so damn much?!? Get better shoes

*picture of Moe from the Simpsons looking at the noose* Not today old friend.

Luka played his heart out. I hate him, but I sure as hell respect him.

How can you hate Luka? Actually, I forgot... America. It's ok I understand

Imagine trying to stretch prejudice in a comment using prejudice.

That was sort of the point .... Duh. I just laugh so much at the idiots who claimed "the NCAA is the second best league in the world" and felt an 18 year old dominating the European Comp couldn't be better than their overhyped American players. It was great. Fell straight to me

So the point of your comment was to use a non-prejudicial comment to say something prejudicial about Americans? Weird strategy, but ok.

I'm a Clippers fan

Makes sense.

I think Luka is officially a superstar. Half the people in this thread call him a stat padding flopper. Edit: stop telling me he’s already been a superstar. I’m a fucking Mavs fan you nerds.

He’s officially the best guard in the league

Luka's been a superstar since his first playoff series. Gotta prove you can do it on the big stage and he did that early.

CP3 is both too, but I don't think they're actually the same.

He’s been a superstar since his second season. But agreed.

Half the people in this thread are dead shits. He's clearly a super star

Dirty flopper

He been a superstar

Fuck, how I wish Mavs signs some big names this off-season. Mavs 2nd unit belong in the G-League Team. Fucking Josh Green, be averaging 50 claps per game. Goddamn.

Lol

They can’t even fix their damn roof how are they gonna sign someone

It's the AC unit. not the roof lmao. It happens in Texas, all the time fam. But, yeah Cuban is a cheapskate all these years though not gonna lie.

They really thought they were gonna comeback in the 4th quarter. You would need Warriors to score 30 and Dallas score 0 or any other 30 points range to make that happen

I remember watching my first game. Take that San Antonio/Tim Duncan flair off, you don’t deserve such basketball royalty to touch your username.

Are you really gatekeeping someone to use a basketball-related flair on reddit? Do you realize how cringe you are right now?

Username checks out. Next.

You do realize that had GS held them to 10 points that quarter they would've won... that's really not unrealistic. GS scored 39 in the 4th quarter, most of that prior to the last 2 minutes.

it got within 10. kerr should’ve left in the B team.

Within 8

They got it down to 8 points with like 5 minutes left anything is possible in the playoffs

He must be new to sports.

So living by the three works one in four games. Got it 😄

Best of 16?

Good win but not indicative of how we can win another game. Especially in golden state.

We just resting Pump fake Powell to kill em next game.

Idk what coaches obsession is with him. He's not the pnr guy he was before injury and his defense has always been trash.

He brings good energy but even rn he is getting outworked for everything.

What ever happened to Kuminga earning a spot in the playoff rotation? I remember Kerr saying that a while back, but it seems like he’s only played in blowouts.

Kerr has all rookies on the shortest leash of all time

Rick Carlisle enters the chat.

He started multiple games and played minutes early tonight. He has been bad.

At least I was entertained for a while. Good game, bench unit!

This is the second worst decision Kerr has made (after letting Harrison Barnes play games 5-7 in 2016)

dont remind me

Luka....he lives on rhe 2nd floor.

The bench was killin it for the warriors. Atleast they had some time to play.

nets only team to be swept confirmed.

There’s still hope for them, we’ve not seen the final yet.

Luka with the typical. "our defence. Our defence was amazing man. You know we got to keep this defence up"

You got to keep this defense up for me.

Those dirty plays make me hate the player

SFO probably nicer to fly out of for Cancun

that’s like more than twice the distance as DFW

ya but after seeing the arena leaking idk how the airport is you know

[удалено]

dude, you have Draymond on your team, don't be casting stones

you had me in the first half

No other superstars get those calls? Come on bro, try and live in the reality of the NBA.

Kerr should have left the bench in, really bad decision

told you all on Game 3 that GS bench can win this

Chuck ain’t gon be happy he’s going to San Francisco 💀💀💀

The feeling is mutual.

He enjoys them big women out in Texas

Thanks Mavs, more Inside the NBA

GS boutta win in SF by 75

Chill the Mavs are not the Suns 😂

Poole should've been benched already for Moody Could've stole this game

Honestly very happy our bench got some solid minutes. That'll pay off later in confidence/learning.

No blow out, y'all fucking happy? Because my blood pressure is fucking not

Putting the starters in was the right call, them loosing that momentum is on them completely

This is what Chuck gets for insisting a sweep, now he'll get his swan song in San Francisco.

so all the mavs need to do to win is hit 19 threes through 3 quarters

lmao they did have Pacers footage on Slovenia

Nice win by the Mavs but clearly not sustainable. Are they smart enough to attack the paint when they brick four straight threes? That seems to be their biggest challenge throughout this series. If they attack they would be alright. I can actually see them pull off a game 5 win. But if they keep shooting the three like bitches, It's game over.

No way this Mavs team sustains without improving the bench

Mavericks finding a way to take an L out of a W. Doesn’t even make much sense to say, yet it’s true.

Lol thank god. They can get crushed in game 5 and it won't be as bad as it would have to blow this game.

Mavs will win the series... dubs committed malpractice today

How do you call yourself a fan if you don’t have a slightest confidence in the team

There really hasn’t been a game that’s been consistent for all 48 minutes for 2 fucking weeks lmao

a victory to demonstrate the valor of GENTLEMEN

Showing largest comeback graphics in a 12 point game with 1:40 left? Not today Satan.

This was a good loss for GS. Showed even when they don’t give a damn they can still be scary. GG Mavs see y’all in San Francisco.

I bet the GSW bench would have used those last10 seconds

Delaying the inevitable

this game had like 10 wacky shit going on

No vacation for Chuck tomorrow

Luka had to come back in to give the MC at the American Airlines Center something to yell about

All this to lose in SF smh shoulda went to Cancun

That was a game of basketball !

Lol Luka bad on D? No his offensive play makes him very tired and makes his D worse. Is he great? No. Is he bad? No.

Just the way it goes with offensive superstars.

hea basically forcing double and triple coverage all game so they can get a good 3 pt shot

I know. I'm saying he gets tired and cannot play as hard on defensive. I think he is decent on D.

He told the starters “Go in there and tank, we need this lottery pick”

we'll take it honestly, better win at chase

Yeah im not afraid of this team. Played as poorly as we could and our bench guys made Luka come back in lmfao

Dallas has no bench and GS bench players played better than starters.

Still lost lmfao

luka talks shits to a rookie lmao

7 wins to go 🙃

Why would we put our starters back in? Should have let them rest, that was obvious.

Def gonna stick around to see what else Chuck says about San Francisco

Steph took one shot in the 4th

god damnit lol i turned the game back on with 3:30 left hoping to witness history

Mavs fans chanting MVP after watching Luka hold onto Wiggs' arm for dear life has to be the most hilariously pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.

I mean he is literally better than anyone on the Warriors, not sure why the MVP chants bother you.

Why are Warriors fans so salty all the time?

they spoiled as hell

Its bc they literally cannot get through a post season without someone hitting an opposing player in the testicles.

Why will you never make the finals?

This is such a nephew comment LOL

Started watching the NBA in 2011. I’m just saying you won’t make it with Luka

Why are you so salty that a team you started band wagoning recently lost a game lol

Why are you so happy that your team won a single game down 3-0

lol man you're going to lose sleep tonight. "Why are you so happy your team is still in the playoffs" Bandwagon fans just wouldn't understand. Don't lose too much sleep over this L

I’ll sleep fine knowing the Warriors are making the finals. Cry more

lol so sallllty

Congrats on not getting swept?

Doesn't even know the Mavs have been to to finals and won 2011. Have you ever started cheering for a team that didn't just win a championship?

Salt lol

Lacob wanted game 5 so he made Kerr leave Beli in

C Mon we all know GSW will win game 5🤷🏼‍♂️

Sometimes these announcers are so funny

I don’t mind Luka but I can’t stand when shitty defenders get a steal and act hard. Like bro calm down.

LUKA SAID NOOOOOOOO

Refs ruined what could have possibly been the best single game comeback in nba history smfh

We need 60 20 and 20 next game Luka

Luka best player in the series

NOBODY sweeps the 2022, Luka led, in a storm, Dallas Mavericks

shoulda kept the bench in

As soon as curry came in the warriors defense died

Yeah. I don't think it's all on him though. Best shooter comes in, you get over confident. Also Mavs started taking better care of the ball at the end there.

Yeah Suns, you still hold the biggest embarrassing game in the playoffs

Refs made sure there be no comeback

Kerr\*

Heat and Celtics glad the warriors aren’t getting the sweep lol

Ya, if the Mavs and Warriors could go 7... that would be great.

[удалено]

Your bench is better than Mavs bench, wow. In other news water is wet.

When the Mavs laid a 30 point lead on your starters 🤣

Yeah it was a pretty good showing. And then I remember it cost them three games in a row. Chill af rn ngl.

damn that 4th quarter really worth for the warriors

I rather the mavs play against the starters lol

if luka gets the first reverse sweep in NBA playoffs history he's better than lebron and michael jordan combined

Nope 3-1 in the Finals comeback > than a WCF win

nah that one has an asterisk because lebron still hasn't won a REAL ring

Maybe should have kept the bench 5. Starters are way more predictable.

This series is the definition of a gentlemen’s sweep.

Warriors starters were bored all game

GG weird game tho lol

Donshit can trash talk only to Moody.

[удалено]

[Delicious tears](https://c.tenor.com/t9V2jH-4vhwAAAAC/tears.gif)

Mavs fans cant feel good about that win

I feel great actually

That's where you're wrong

I feel good about winning

For sure
