2023 - 2024 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - I'm watching, just like you guys

Luka has to protect the ball 

[Billy Pilgrim 1960]

Gotta make layups. Can’t be cold from 3 and in the paint.

T wolves are way worse than Luka about complaining to the officials 

they know they have to win this game.  not gonna hold back.  up to us match it.  Need THJ to keep shooting...or so I'm told.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Missed 13 of last 16 shots. What the fuck is that shit.

[Vic Mackey 47006]

Meh, didn't expect to win 2 games in a row on the road to start the series. This game was house money. Let's get back to Dallas and get to work.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Offense this period is atrocious. Good thing we have Josh Green and THJ out there fulfilling their make a wish dreams. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

As bad as we were shooting being down 12 isn’t that bad. Doncic and Kyrie need to hit more shots. 

[Minute Bull 248]

Someone tell me how Lively was not a top 10 pick.  Runs the floor like a gazelle, Rebounds and defends like a fiend.

If they re-drafted he would probably be top 3. His ceiling is off the charts.

No disrespect to Chet Holmgren who I like as a player, but at this point is there a single person who has seen them both play who would swap Lively for Chet?

This is such an ugly game from the Mavs. Incredibly sloppy

I’m going to watch, but this doesn’t seem like the Mavs night. Minnesota is a good team and I’m happy with a split if that’s where we wind up. 
Luka is cooking them at the moment, however. 

[bigcigar 1164]

Refs are sloppy too. Clearly a foul on the Luka fast break

[RexWilson 1346]

Need the OKC series version of DJJ to show up. 

[ITHorn 800]

If they can get a few stops, this isn’t over when Luka is playing like this..

[dcar00 14151]

getting outhustled but mainly its just shitty shooting.

if they actually called fouls on Luka he'd avg 50 a night.  He basically can't be guarded unless he is fouled.

 

[RexWilson 1346]

Weird game. Seems like teetering on the edge of getting blown out then make a few plays to get some hope. 

[bigcigar 1164]

Fuck I love Luka and lively combo

[dcar00 14151]

Luka just needs to look to shoot if he is in the lane.

[RexWilson 1346]

Now need Kai to get going.

He heard you

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Weeeeeeellllll

[RexWilson 1346]

Break these bitches. 

[bigcigar 1164]

The energy lively brings to the team is infectious

I’m in Singapore, walked by this place just as that last shot went down. It’s an omen!

 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Gobert looks like a moose

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Naz Reid can hit wide open 3’s. 

[dcar00 14151]

ugh PJ, bring it back out.

[Bozo_Casanova 26434]

Maybe someone should guard Naz Reid

[TxTower 650]

Gobert looks like a moose

And traveled but got the foul call.

[Bozo_Casanova 26434]

Gafford is that guy

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

How did Gafford make that? Luka needs to reign in the 3/4 court passes. 

[RexWilson 1346]

Gobert hella illegal screens to allow Reid the lane to the bucket

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Why did the NBA adopt the college love of the charge? The worst fucking part of college basketball is the overzealous charge calls by refs. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Ant fouled Kyrie. All arms defending. 

[dcar00 14151]

how can you not call a foul on that?

holy shit we need to start just bear hugging guys

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Time to d up. 

[RexWilson 1346]

Naz Reid is going to miss the game winning shot and deflate all hope for his team. 

Edited May 25 by RexWilson

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Good d. Let’s go Mavs!

[gsoda3 3245]

Whatever happens either way I hope the refs aren't the reason. We've gotten the worse of the calls this game and the last bit I hope they don't affect the ending of this game.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Damn, two good looks there

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Duuuuuuude

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Bailout call

[bigcigar 1164]

Weak fucking calls given the molestation of our stars

[dcar00 14151]

3 missed FT's by Kyrie.  no bueno.

[tfoolry 8201]

Rigged game. 

[bigcigar 1164]

That’s Dallas ball

[RexWilson 1346]

We are 4-0 on challenges this series.
