Just a terrible shooting night from KP... that was the difference.

The 8-0 run by Indy in the last 3:15 of the game didn’t help. 

Kleber was shit as well.

Doncic was getting hacked all night.  I wonder if that's somewhat of a strategy that other coaches have picked up on.  That is, be as physical as the refs will allow - especially off the ball.  He gets frustrated easily and spends quite a bit of time bitching at the refs.

Yep, he spent half of the timeouts bitching at the refs rather than go sit with his teammates. Even the wife said "Did he grow up playing soccer?".
You bitch throughout the game, the refs aren't going to call things your way at the end. f204e9922af8446365bff192e0384048.jpg9952fa520a8f4b053ce227a325a1f469.jpg

Duncan, Parker and Manu did that for years and got calls.  those 3 never committed a foul in an NBA game.  Doncic needs to tone it down some but Rick needs to pick it up IMO.  Doncic is getting dirk'd

Those 3 you mentioned were all whiny babies, but they earned their stripes over time to get the calls. So will Doncic but he needs to just put in his time.
I thought Doncic was about to get a technical after he got popped in the mouth when he started saying "That's bullshit" to the refs. Luckily, JJ came over and pulled him away.

I agree, it is starting to look like a strategy.

The guy is getting hit in the face too much without penalty to the offenders. He deserves to be irate.

We're missing Seth Curry and it shows, especially with KP's struggles. Without Curry he's been posting up way too much, and it ruins our spacing.

(also Myles Turner is a very good defender)

Why wouldn't teams hack the shit out of Luka and the rest of the Mavs? Even if the refs do call it, you have a terrible clutch free throw shooting team going to the line.

Besides FT shooting, the other main problem the Mavs have is that, outside of Luka, nobody can consistently create their own shot. The offense becomes so predictable.

The late game concerns are valid, but it's historically the best offense in the history of the NBA.

Hack? Sure. Target the head? That's bullshit.

Mavs stopped scoring about halfway through the third quarter.  Defense still trash though. 
 

the “best offense in the nba” sure gets outscored a bunch. 

64-42 last 21 minutes. With sa running 22 seconds off the clock before trying to score the last 3 minutes. 
 

based on a previous graphic, that puts them at 6-17 in games that were a 5 point game or less inside of 5 minutes to go.

We let the Spurs midrange us to death while our offense shut down in the 4th quarter as usual.

Desperately need Seth Curry back... KP's ankle doesn't look 100% and without Curry to work with he has to settle for lower-percentage jumpers.

Not only best in the NBA but best in the history lmao. I don't give a shit about metrics and numbers on paper. Best offense in the history of the NBA is not a bottom playoff team and un clutch as we are. This offense is nowhere near what we had in Dirk's heyday. Much less best ever in the entire league's existence.

Also, this is funny

yea, how fucking dumb to use metrics to determine things. 

  • Author

How about we win one?

Also that’s a dumb fucking joke since automatic transmissions still have a clutch.

This though:



So this will be one of the last games. F Gobert. Dallas/Denver would have been a great playoff series.

Boban putting in work.

Boban and Jokic are great friends. 

Boban with 21 pts. and 14 rebounds. Very nice night.

Crazy this will be the last game for a while.

This is awesome. Cuban is great.

Delon missed that bunny but he has been EVERYWHERE. God I love his game.

 

 

So if they resume - do they just play their Division games with no crowds and then seed it by Division winners?  I have no idea.

 

10-point lead with 2:50 left. I am fully prepared for us to blow this.

edit: LOL my stream finally caught up, nvm

I'm sure they are discussing. Lots of in and outs and what have yous.

This was the last game in the NBA for a while. King/NOP cancelled.

Winning the last game of the NBA season means NBA Champions (to aggy). 

Good win and good for Cuban taking care of his workers - I hope. 

So the Mavs have (had?) 15 games left. Season would have ended April 15th, a little over a month from now. If the season ended today, and maybe it just did, the #7 Mavs would play the #2 Clippers in the 1st round.

So basically we ended the year as the 7th seed and at best face the clippers in the first round or at worst don’t play again this season.

On the bright side look what Boban can do with minutes. Fuck me he should starts.

Given we're going to have a shortage of shit to talk about here for a while, thought I'd indulge myself by posting (part of) a road trip report.

Went to the Mavs last road game of the season on Tuesday night in San Antonio- took the fam to spend a couple of days over the kids' spring break.  Long and short of it- yeah, the ATT Center is a dirty old barn, but I'm jealous of it.  It's a rivalry sure, but we're talking about a team that's going to miss the playoffs and that arena was louder than I've ever heard the AAC at a regular season game.  There's really no one there to "be seen" - they're there to cheer their asses off.  Which is weird considering all the titles they've won.  But our fans are the ones that act spoiled.  And everyone was super nice (all four of us were wearing Mavs gear), so I don't really have anything bad to say about the people either.  Sorry- don't neg me bros.  I'm still pissed about that second half.

Had a bomb ass torta (made to order) and they have a legit full size Whataburger restaurant in the concourse, so obviously the kids ate that.

Ran into this dude walking around downtown the morning before the game though- made the whole trip worth while.

Good on, Cuban.  He may not be Sage Steele but for a Hoosier, he's a-ok.

That's awesome. We did the same thing last year with my 3 oldest (8, 6, 5) for dirk's last game ever. Drive down from Austin, watched the Mavs, stayed on the Riverwalk, and let the kids play hooky the next day. Didn't see Rick Carlisle though.
