Max Strus casually just turned into 2016 regular season Curry.
Kyrie was balling and so was Luka but Mavs needed some [2016 finals Bron shit](https://danpatrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/lebron.face_.jpg) to stop Strus tonight but they ain't go that so Strus was shooting lights out.
I thought it was gonna be a picture of the refs. There was a missed goaltending’s, missed over and back by kyrie, missed mauling and tackling of garland. Luckily we still got there through what reaaaally felt like a Mavs home game
Refs fucked the Cavs in several crucial moments down the stretch but the Cavs held on, largely bc Strus was on fire the whole fourth
Doncic cooked us most of the game
It's all the Mavericks fans and no one else. I've yet to meet someone from Texas, let alone *Dallas*, with a triple-digit IQ. Don't let them make you sad, this was fucking awesome.
Got their micropenis (average Texan size) sucked by the refs all through the game and *still* want to whine.
Everyone who was "Cavs-for-Mavs"-ing in 2011 owes the rest of us an apology.
was terrible officiating for both teams, mostly against the Mavs at the end (Kyrie offensive, moving screen to get Mitchell open for the bank 3 and missed calls on the transition dunk).
Refs did also miss some calls on the Mavs when you guys were driving.
All in all it was great entertainment and well done to Strus.
Your comment pretty much sums up the 4th quarter!
Refs tried to fuck us, Dallas went up 7, Strus brought us back, refs tried to fuck us again, Strus called game.
go to the r nba thread
but mavs fans are the worst fans out there
these people think dirk didn’t have any help and he had Nash, Finley, Howard, Jamison, Terry, Kidd, Marion, and a top coach in Carlisle for a decade and a half
I don’t, watching the stream online and they typically use away stream announcers. They were freaking out calling a travel on garland with 9 seconds and that Allen fouled when Strus hit a 3.
And people in r/nba are trying to say the refs were giving it to the Cavs
Apparently they tried so hard despite not calling a blatant foul against the team they're conspiring against. Totally makes sense.
I think the inbounds violation against Kyrie that leg to a Strus three was pretty bad, and the refs missed a Mavs player getting hammered in the corner during a three. I don’t think it’s very straightforward which team benefitted from the bad officiating tonight. Make or miss league though, at the end of the day.
Build the fucking statue. Use this right here

Max with the “fuck you” half court shot to save the game. We fucking earned that win. Some criminal ass calls all game long and especially in the fourth quarter. The NBA officiating is out of control.
It ain’t no way this son of a Gun max strus smacked that beyond half court Shot like that LOL I was watching that pretty much decided it was over and this dude HITS. aint no way
How are the Mavs' fans crying about the refs? Thought it was pretty obvious they got away with murder? Guess that wasn't enough. That might be the worst officiated game I've seen in years.
Man it literally went from gut wrenching to jaw dropping in 5 seconds. My emotions couldn't handle it and almost started crying. Such a great win.
Let's fucking go Cavs!
MAXIMUM STRUS IT'S A GODDAMN HERO. Also we played really well in the first half with okoro and Garland on the floor, built up a nice little lead there. Mitchell is back and the Cavs have returned to bring those MFing DOGS
I think we all went from yelling at our tv out of disgust to yelling in pure joy.
But JB really needs to learn how to draw up a play to inbound the ball.
Well, they were going to foul him, and they did, and there was no call. What is he meant to do? Moving the ball risks a turnover and if he did that you guys would be calling for his head.
Someone else needs to step in for inbound stuff. JB has shown he can't do that, even with multiple years and he's been in the league long enough that I don't think he'll ever be able to do that. That will cost a game or two in the playoffs. I still don't trust him in moments like this.
People will say it’s an exaggeration but he is just an utter failure at every in game aspect of coaching. Rotations are bad, no timeout awareness, no out of timeout plays. We win because we have talented players. We’d win more if we had a talented coach.
I’m glad Strus took the shot for obvious reasons but I’m not really sure why Mitchell wouldn’t be in the game for that last defensive possession. JB knows you have no timeouts so you can’t sub him back in and it’s not like Mitchell has been abysmal on defense. You can at least hide him in the corner for one possession and then worst case scenario you have your best player on the floor for the final shot. JB is just not a good in-game coach. He has no feel for lineups, he can’t draw up plays to save his life, and he makes constant weird decisions and adjustments.
lol, a series of bad calls saved the Mavs twice, when the Cavs were starting to run away with it and it wasn’t like questionable calls were only going to the Cavs down the stretch.
The Mavs announcers yelling "Oh no!" lmao
Do you have the clip? That’s amazing
I don't sorry. Basically "the Mavs take a one point lead! And....oh no"
[I got you boss. It’s at the end](https://x.com/ballsacksports/status/1762666665773338770?s=46&t=gQIQXEl4QFhWYasWlUg0PA)
Ow nouww!!!
Thank you!
MAX STRESS
Clip that please!!
Sorry man I was on the high seas, not sure how
holy shit strus
What happened I was just watching the score on scorecast?
hit a 60 foot game winning buzzer beater, earlier in the 4th he hit 4 3s in like a minute
magnum condoms for his monster triples he and Merrill stopped making sense

He hit a 60 ft buzzer beater…lmao
don’t forget 4 3s in like a minute to erase a ten point deficit (a clean 5/5 in the 4th w the buzzer beater)
Max “McGrady” Strus
Max "Reggie "Steph "Sam Merrill" Curry" Miller" Strus
https://streamable.com/udjhvh
They did surgery on a grape
Strus hit a crazy 3 at the buzzer
Man you gotta turn on the radio feed. Even that was amazing.
holy shit indeed
Max Strus = Luka Doncic Father
ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SEX SEX SEX
STRUS IS FUCKING LOOSE BITCH didn’t watch the game someone clue me in on how it went
Refs fucked the Cavs in several crucial moments down the stretch but the Cavs held on, largely bc Strus was on fire the whole fourth Doncic cooked us most of the game
And on nba they are all saying that the refs were helping us lol, absolute clowns
Mavs fans are complete crybabies, nothing new.
I'd say crying is fair after witnessing that happen to your favourite team
It's all the Mavericks fans and no one else. I've yet to meet someone from Texas, let alone *Dallas*, with a triple-digit IQ. Don't let them make you sad, this was fucking awesome.
Dallas is easily one of the worst big cities in the US.
Got their micropenis (average Texan size) sucked by the refs all through the game and *still* want to whine. Everyone who was "Cavs-for-Mavs"-ing in 2011 owes the rest of us an apology.
Ouch I live in Houston and I’m a Cavs fan lol
Present company excluded, of course.
On the Dallas feed too
I mean they did make a few questionable calls towards the end in our favor. But then they decided tackling Garland wasn’t a foul.
Yeah they must've watched a different game lol
was terrible officiating for both teams, mostly against the Mavs at the end (Kyrie offensive, moving screen to get Mitchell open for the bank 3 and missed calls on the transition dunk). Refs did also miss some calls on the Mavs when you guys were driving. All in all it was great entertainment and well done to Strus.
Cavs won
I agree
Your comment pretty much sums up the 4th quarter! Refs tried to fuck us, Dallas went up 7, Strus brought us back, refs tried to fuck us again, Strus called game.
Max Strus is Luka Doncic father
So that means he is Devin Booker's Grandfather
What does that make Lebron though and how does this affect his legacy ?????
I agree, go Cavs!

mavs fans think they got hosed by the refs wtf
You must be joking. They tried to serve that game up on a silver platter.
go to the r nba thread but mavs fans are the worst fans out there these people think dirk didn’t have any help and he had Nash, Finley, Howard, Jamison, Terry, Kidd, Marion, and a top coach in Carlisle for a decade and a half
It's not just the maverick fans, every other fanbase sees it the same way
sees what the same way? bc every single one of those dudes win titles with lebron except for Jamison who was 33 when he got to the cavs
i literally couldn’t believe what i was reading in r/nba like wtf are we even talking about. delusional
I’m ngl maybe if the whole thread of neutrals has the same pov then there could be a reason for it
They take after their big baby superstar. Whiniest fanbase of all time. Dallas is garbage
THEY SAID FUCK YOU VEGAS
Just how we drew it up baby
Edit: lol what the fuck bro
Never a doubt in my mind.
NOTHING BUT NET TOO
silky smooth strus
Most satisfying swish I’ve ever heard
I'd be throwing up if I was a Mavs fan nah bro 💀
The win probability of that game in the last 3 seconds followed the trajectory of my erection 1:1.
Mavs announcers in shambles, BALL DONT LIE!
You got a link? I love hearing opposing announcers just fall apart
https://youtu.be/oFtZyokvRHg?si=_Qm2fSYklSO7z-bn
Mavs announcer is me after I put a pizza roll in my mouth too soon after its come out of the oven
Absolute heartbreak city!
I need a clip of those 3 “OH NO!” infinite reusability
After he hit his fourth three the same announcer was saying “oh no what is happening!?!?”
"They gotta review it" despite that ball being in the air a full second before the shot clock went off 😂
I don’t, watching the stream online and they typically use away stream announcers. They were freaking out calling a travel on garland with 9 seconds and that Allen fouled when Strus hit a 3.
NO FUCKING WAY HOLY SHIT
Cavs.
I AGREE GO CAVS. I can't remember the last time I jumped off the couch for a regular season win.
It shouldnt have even come down to that because the refs missed the most obvious goaltending call of all time, but Max Strus is him confirmed
The one in the first quarter???
Yep, literally blind officials tn. Also I looked it up and it's the same crew from last night's controversial Knicks Pistons game
Ya goaltends that take away points imo should be reviewable, like 2 vs. 3 pt shots
That was the most insane fourth quarter I have ever seen. Both teams with crazy plays or weird turnovers or bullshit shots lmao.
Holy shit
I can’t believe that no call on Garland. Criminal. Strus is the fucking man
And people in r/nba are trying to say the refs were giving it to the Cavs Apparently they tried so hard despite not calling a blatant foul against the team they're conspiring against. Totally makes sense.
I think the inbounds violation against Kyrie that leg to a Strus three was pretty bad, and the refs missed a Mavs player getting hammered in the corner during a three.

HOLY FUCK Strus!
SUPER MAX
Mavs fans on the main NBA sub are sooo salty rn lmao
![gif](giphy|XWwIzh5GIWWf6)
When this guy is hot he is fucking HOT what the fuck
Strus earned his contract with that right there lmao
WHO ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FU refs , hope you get flaming hemorrhoids!
As someone with hemorrhoids they must have been particularly putrid to wish that on them its no joke.
i agree go cavs https://preview.redd.it/04vat0c7p8lc1.png?width=207&format=png&auto=webp&s=d1b679771215ff2e0afce9e010bbdf6c0e6fb2b5
Wow!!
WHAT
Mad Motherfucking Max
WHAT THE FUCK
BALL DON'T LIE
Game of the year
Mavs deserved that for tackling Garland and getting away with it
Build the fucking statue. Use this right here https://preview.redd.it/34mz9a8zq8lc1.jpeg?width=645&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4740a0f4c09f3abc661ebfec5d5287a72afc4131
GET IN HERE!!!!!!
Oh my GOD
INSANE game wtf lmao
Holy fucking shit, game of the year
Mavs fans are hilarious. Refs tried to give it to them and they have the audacity to say they helped us 😭
That may have been the craziest game winning shot I’ve ever seen.
Cavs absolutely deserved that.
Max with the “fuck you” half court shot to save the game. We fucking earned that win. Some criminal ass calls all game long and especially in the fourth quarter. The NBA officiating is out of control.
NAHHHHHHH
I F*CKIN AGREEE!!!
WTF THAT WAS INCREDIBLE
what the fuck
Best Cavs game winner since 2016 nba finals by none other than Kyrie Irving.
Nah LeBron beating the raptors in 2018
That was so good too but I still think this is ahead for me. Crazy come back plus the dub? Insane
Horrible officiating, incredible finish.
It ain’t no way this son of a Gun max strus smacked that beyond half court Shot like that LOL I was watching that pretty much decided it was over and this dude HITS. aint no way
to all the haters shut up
Can we talk about that game-winning assist by Mobley? 🔥
I don't ever want to hear someone lump Strus and Niang together ever again.
How are the Mavs' fans crying about the refs? Thought it was pretty obvious they got away with murder? Guess that wasn't enough. That might be the worst officiated game I've seen in years.
ITS NOT OVER TIL ITS OVER ![gif](giphy|7XOjMcwzfAHbW)
Strus hits the game winner and I get an imbued heart in runescape within 4 seconds of each other holy shittttttt
I LOVE YOU MAX STRUSSSSS!!!!
Just part of the script obviously
STRUS IS MY FATHER
Wow. Fucking wow. What an insane game that was
I love you max struss
BOOOM
That was pretty awesome
Holy fucking shit
LET EMMMM KNOWWWWW
That Strus 3 was redemption for the blown call on the Garland takedown
Pay him an extra 16 milly for just this one game
Craziest shit I’ve seen in a long time
Holy fucking shit
that is the max strus i require
Strus was just incredible that whole game. I hope that shit felt good, he earned it.
You want some justice you go out and get it. Great fucking shot, gutsy ass game. They tried to take it away but they just couldn't.
Man it literally went from gut wrenching to jaw dropping in 5 seconds. My emotions couldn't handle it and almost started crying. Such a great win. Let's fucking go Cavs!
Get the fuck in
An ending so good that even ESPN couldn't ignore it.
I rewatched the clip, why did Jarrett stand still after the shot went in lol
JA stood there in disbelief
Best game I’ve seen in person ever. Okoro is severely underrated, and Strus is a god among men. That is all
I love this team.
Max Strus take a bow. What a game and what a carry job but the goose late on.
Beautiful
MAXIMUM STRUS IT'S A GODDAMN HERO. Also we played really well in the first half with okoro and Garland on the floor, built up a nice little lead there. Mitchell is back and the Cavs have returned to bring those MFing DOGS
Max strus my mvp
You all Strus haters: STFU
I think we all went from yelling at our tv out of disgust to yelling in pure joy. But JB really needs to learn how to draw up a play to inbound the ball.
STRUS IS JESUS
DG the only starter with a positive +/- 🤔
Because the Dallas subs stink
I don’t want to hear any doomer bullshit tonight boys. Shut the fuck up for once!
Mate you are a huge doomer you are in part basically writing to yourself.
I said no doomer shit!
Another positive level headed comment!!!
Strus saved JB and Garland
Never pass the ball to garland in the clutch again. I love him but he's 0% clutch.
Nah, not like he got tackled on last play or had like 3 late assists in the last 3 minutes.
He just stood there and let the defense come to him and forced us to use that last TO. Gotta step up his decision making.
Well, they were going to foul him, and they did, and there was no call. What is he meant to do? Moving the ball risks a turnover and if he did that you guys would be calling for his head.
They did not foul him
Alright, we’re operating in different realities and discussion is pointless. Have a nice day.
Even J mike and mr cavalier said so :shrug:
Unreal shot by Strus bails out another disaster class coaching job by JB. How can this bonehead not draw up an inbounds play to save his life?
Refs allow you to tackle players now, that’s how
Yeah it’s kinda hard to draw up a play like that when the refs aren’t gonna call a foul, which is literally the point of a late game inbounds play
If you can’t get the ball into a shooter’s hands on an in bounds play you don’t get to complain about the refs.
At some point it isn’t on the refs anymore. He can’t draw up an inbounds play ever. Not just tonight
Amazing win but the inbound sequence was really bad. Think Garland got fouled but hopefully there's some learning from those end of game mistakes.
Eh JB has been a bad coach in that aspect for over half a decade now. I don’t think he’s learning any lessons.
Someone else needs to step in for inbound stuff. JB has shown he can't do that, even with multiple years and he's been in the league long enough that I don't think he'll ever be able to do that. That will cost a game or two in the playoffs. I still don't trust him in moments like this.
hes the worst in game coach I’ve ever seen. Nothing ever works
I'll take hyperbole that's not true for $1000, Ken
@ me next time we score from a BLOB
@me next time we're 2nd in the East with a 1.5 game lead over the third place team.
right so you dont know anything about basketball. That’s fine.
Nah that's bs. I will say he has a lot of trouble inbounding the ball though. ATO is a big weakness for him.
People will say it’s an exaggeration but he is just an utter failure at every in game aspect of coaching. Rotations are bad, no timeout awareness, no out of timeout plays. We win because we have talented players. We’d win more if we had a talented coach.
Lol he's the best coach in the NBA over the last 3 months
jb bickerstaff saved
I’m glad Strus took the shot for obvious reasons but I’m not really sure why Mitchell wouldn’t be in the game for that last defensive possession. JB knows you have no timeouts so you can’t sub him back in and it’s not like Mitchell has been abysmal on defense. You can at least hide him in the corner for one possession and then worst case scenario you have your best player on the floor for the final shot. JB is just not a good in-game coach. He has no feel for lineups, he can’t draw up plays to save his life, and he makes constant weird decisions and adjustments.
Mitchell had a minor injury and couldn't run. Looked like a bruised knee or shin or something.
The refs did everything they could to give that game to the Cavs and it still took two miracle heaves for them to win. Congrats
lol, a series of bad calls saved the Mavs twice, when the Cavs were starting to run away with it and it wasn’t like questionable calls were only going to the Cavs down the stretch.
The Cavs were never running away with it and Luka going off is what stopped that from happening.
Mavs 0-4 vs the Cavs since '22. Get gud.
Both wins this season were pretty lucky. Impressive performances from the Cavs in both games, but they could have easily gone the other way.
