Inside the NBA previews Thunder vs Mavericks Game 4

PJ Washington has had a couple of pjon, you were shaking your head PJ Washington, what do you think of that? Oh, you're kidding, we have to turn off the water if we want to win the series for sure, yeah, we're not built on just one guy. built on the team and if Lucas is hurting the next man that's what makes the beauty of the sport it's a team this is not golf this is a special group and they and they believe in helping each other and you can see that yes , PJ Washington had to close that water 29 and 11 in the second

game

and in the third

game

27 and six and shoot that thing from three yes, they are playing well Lucas doing a great job getting the ball out Kyrie is doing a great job just waiting his turn and then taking control, especially in the fourth quarter.

You know the others are playing very well. I'm hoping my nephew Hardway goes too. OKC is in trouble, they've been, you know, sailing, you know pretty much everything. year and this is a big game for them Hardway also had a great game, they had 17, yes, but OKC, this game they have to win because if they don't win, Dallas will definitely win the series. P.P.J. Washington is a good player like he was on bad teams when he was in Charlotte so we thought possibly the term we used to call him lutter in a riot was that he got all these points because he was just on a bad team and you know he's had games like this in Charlotte has had flashes now it's in a stage to do it so does it matter uh and so you can possibly turn off the water but it's not like you haven't had open water before it just never meant anything and um yeah but I mean to 15 a game this postseason, but I mean it's 15 games, Ernie, but Ernie, these are huge games, the last two 15 points in a playoff series when you play with Luc and Kyrie are a lot of points because it's you.

You don't get as many touches, so suddenly the ACL goes down. What's not in is not in the same way, so you get more touches, but averaging 15 or more in a playoff series is very impressive. I said at the trade deadline that the Mavs and Patriots had the two best trades. M. I said that and I really think the reason he's averaging more points is really down to Luke and Kyrie trusting them more because he's probably the best big guy he's ever played with, and same thing. Gafford now look I love those two players and you know Ken said something man we have a lot of good players in the NBA just on shitty teams now there are some guys that just get us into a riot or just get empty calories but I said man.

I'm a big Gafford guy, I'm a big PJ guy and if Luca trusts them more because I think in the third game that was the least use if he had another ball and that's the best I thought they played. I saw that statistic somewhere. That was his least usage of which ball and if he and Kyrie keep using all those other weapons that they have and even putting Hardway Junior in there, they'll be able to score on anyone, they can rebound and play defense, and I. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game, as for the Celtics, we just have no idea which Celtic team will show up, I mean, because I guess they have to get slapped in the face like they did in the second home game, but even so. you are my favorite to win a championship if they get porzingis back if they get him back if they get him back I don't think they can win the championship without porzingis but it has to be frustrating because I don't care if teams lose because but you should not really get defeated, especially at home , that's what worries me: you lose the difficult game that all these other teams had, they have good players, but I don't think you should be down 20 at home under any circumstances.

It's three and two at home. in this postseason three and 0 on the road winning by an average of 16 uh every game decided by double digits the Celtics have played so far in the playoffs, anything you want to add about Cleveland and Boston heading into game four, yeah, Donovan he's been playing well similarly as you know, tonight you're probably going to need a couple of other guys that you know to step up. Garland hasn't really played well, you know, hopefully, he has a good game. Cleveland Cleveland has done a respectable job. to recover, so tomorrow should be a competitive game, they just can't, they just can't score outside of Mitchell, they are looking, uh, looking for offense, in seven of their 10 games this postseason they have scored less than 100.

He will try to fix the things in his gym against the Celtics on Monday night.
