May 21, 20223 yr we're gonna win both in Dallas. wanted this one but still gonna come down to games 5,6,7
May 21, 20223 yr When you let Looney, Poole, and Porter shoot 21-28 against you, you deserve to lose.
May 21, 20223 yr If Steph, Klay, or Poole, get in the lane, you absolutely need to collapse down and let one of their guys shoot the 3.
May 21, 20223 yr Just now, Get ln My Van said: Won’t win shit until we get a rim protector. Gobert would make us a dynasty Gobert is a complete liability.
May 21, 20223 yr 31 minutes ago, RexWilson said: If we give up the lead at any point in the 4th, I'm not confident we will get it back. Have to start making shots. Sadly this happened.

May 21, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, Firemans4Horn said: Gobert is a complete liability. And 3 times better than any paint presence we currently have
May 21, 20223 yr Don’t think we’re going 4-1 against this group. I really really want too, but don’t see it.
May 21, 20223 yr I know a lot will be said of Green and Frank, but Maxi was absolute dogshit tonight on both ends. I can’t believe they didn’t try to go small. You were letting them get to the paint at will.
May 21, 20223 yr I know a lot will be said of Green and Frank, but Maxi was absolute dogshit tonight on both ends. I can’t believe they didn’t try to go small. You were letting them get to the paint at will. It wasn't Maxi's fault they were getting to the paint, Reggie was terrible on defense. And he was even worse getting around screens.
May 21, 20223 yr I know frank took some bad shots tonight and got benched, but they were wide open shots. We need him in the lineup to guard Steph. He and maxi are the only two who can stay in front of him.
May 21, 20223 yr 21 minutes ago, Firemans4Horn said: Layup drill. All night. Mavs were Swiss cheese the entire 2nd half

May 21, 20223 yr When Ayton goes into free agency, Mavs better offer the max. That's your future core right there. Edited May 21, 20223 yr by westexhorn

You were letting them get to the paint at will. I love him, but he never committed to any doubles defensively. Just roaming. Not one shot, not one drive. And the next time he finishes a foul will be the first. Here's the deal Maxi- when you foul in the fucking playoffs, they don't get the shot off. That's kinda the deal.

May 21, 20223 yr Luka scores 40. Brunson 30. Bullock 21. We wanted to shoot better at 3. 57%. Up 19. And still lose by 9.
May 21, 20223 yr That was about the most frustrating half of basketball I've watched all year. The 3rd quarter looked like a Chris Beard team. Nobody could hit anything. I really thought Kidd should have utilized a TO multiple times to reinforce getting to the lane when the shots stopped falling. Then in the 4th our defense just completely collapsed. Obviously all the momentum they had and the crowd had a lot to do with it. But it was just a complete meltdown on both ends. Maxi and really the entire bench was absolutely dreadful. Have to regroup for Sunday but that was a very winnable game we'll all look back on as a wasted opportunity if we lose this series.
May 21, 20223 yr I wish the Mavs could figure out how to legitimately play Brunson and Luka off one another. Right now they simply alternate isos. It works enough of the time that it's acceptable but it just feels like there should be another layer to take advantage of the two legit threats they have.
May 21, 20223 yr 33 minutes ago, Loch Ness Monster said: Looney dominating Maxi and Powell is the biggest advantage GS has in the series. It's not like he's handling them one on one. The defense is helping and switching and the rotations have been slow or nonexistent.

It works enough of the time that it's acceptable but it just feels like there should be another layer to take advantage of the two legit threats they have. We'd probably have to incorporate more movement in the offense and for whatever reason, despite playing in motion based offenses for both Slovenia and Real Madrid, Luka doesn't seem to be an enthusiastic participant in that style of play in the NBA.
May 22, 20223 yr If you give up 130 doesn't really matter what the offense looks like. Take care of the swiss cheese defense.
May 22, 20223 yr Did Dallas just say “fuck the bench rules” and decide to stand up all game every game? Knew it was coming. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/33964278/nba-fines-dallas-mavericks-100k-third-bench-decorum-violation-postseason

I see this across the league. Is Dallas doing something different than these other teams? I do not know exactly what the bench rules are. Or is this another instance where the league still hates Cuban?
May 22, 20223 yr Cubans response. Were like four other similar Draymond outbursts including the one with Bullock and DFS somehow got hit with the tech instead.
May 22, 20223 yr Did the league lighten up with the techs on the "air punch"? I remember KP did one after a dunk and got a tech.
May 22, 20223 yr After listening to enough Draymond off the court it's a strategy of his and not just anger issues. He picks up the early tech then knows he can intimidate and abuse the refs for the rest of the game. He knows which refs don't have the balls to kick him out in a big game.
