Callie Caplan: Luka Doncic on Jalen Brunson’s upcoming free agency: “All the conversation around him, he stayed focused. He wanted to win. The step — the huge leap — he took this year was unbelievable, and he’s going to deserve all the money he gets.”

Getting tired of the Luka not trying on defense narrative already. Basically, for the season he showed significant defensive improvement, to the point that he was more often solid than not.
He was shit for one half and people are acting as if he just never tries ever. – 2:12 PM

Bjelica was Otto Porter tonight. 22 minutes, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and one big down-the-stretch 3-pointer, no turnovers. Also had to guard Doncic a bit. Couldn’t ask for much more from a guy who’d only logged 19-plus minutes in the first four games and didn’t play at all in two. – 11:57 PM

Fwiw, however down I get on Luka tonight it’s a one night down.
Dude is legit. This game is only happening because he’s on this team.
But, can be disappointed and emotional for a night. – 10:18 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Charles Barkley on Luka Doncic’s first half: “I’m very disappointed in Luka. He’s not playing with any energy, going through the motions, not getting back on defense. He’s not competing.” – 10:18 PM

If Luka doesn’t come out of the half looking very different, I expect the lead to go to 30+ pretty quickly. – 10:13 PM
J. Michael Falgoust @ThisIsJMichael
Steph=5 pts @ halftime. GSW up 17. But hey, when I’ve pointed out when Luka doesn’t hustle on defense, I kept hearing “he’ll learn” or that I was nitpicking. Bad habits come back to bite you @ the worst time. Hustle isnt about age. Vets dog it too. Hes paid a lot to play AND lead – 10:13 PM

Mavericks got a ton of work to do in the second half, which they’ll start down 69-52. Klay Thompson with 19 points, Steph Curry with seven assists. Luka 2-of-12, looking pretty frustrated that he can’t buy a call. – 10:01 PM

Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
First time in the series, Mavs have lost the 2nd quarter non Luka minutes. 17-9 in first 4:30. Unfortunately this is looking a lot like Game 1. Warriors shooting 53%, Mavs can’t buy a 3pt shot – 9:42 PM

Big 3-pointers late in the first by Spencer Dinwiddie gets Mavs within 28-23 going into the second. Cause for concern: Luka has taken 10 shots, made just two. Steph Curry has taken just two shots, made one and has five assists. – 9:32 PM

Steph Curry came up hobbling after Luka Doncic split a double-team. He’s getting some attention from Warriors staffers during the timeout. Seems to be some sort of right foot/ankle issue. He appears to be staying in the game. – 9:09 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Curry came up limping on that double of Luka. Can’t tell if it was ankle or he banged his knee. He was working it out, trying to walk it off, and was clearly unhappy about it – 9:08 PM
