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

[Surly Bevo 24604]

Seemed like a bullshit foul there

[dcar00 13957]

holy shit that is bullshit.  that is a shooting foul.

[dcar00 13957]

can't foul the 3 point shooter.

[GenXer 2556]

Luka not on the court = lead dwindles

[ITHorn 777]

Maxi continues to be unplayable post injury. They aren’t even trying to guard him on the outside.

[GenXer 2556]

And he let his man get wide open for the three

Heads up our asses that last minute of the quarter. 

[Navin R. Johnson 701]

Nice hustle by Luka in transition to only allow 5 points in the final 30 seconds 

[Vic Mackey 46716]

Pathetic end to the quarter

[someguy 1468]

Luka is soooooooo bad on defense.

[dcar00 13957]

if we don't play D like the Celtics by absolutely mugging people we will lose.

nice no travel call...sheesh.

[Surly Bevo 24604]

We'll always have the first 10 minutes of game 3.

[RexWilson 1341]

Luka is making things harder than it needs to be. Just go up. 

[dcar00 13957]

NBA refs are just fucking brutal on Luka.

he's actually trying but they won't call the fouls.

[Surly Bevo 24604]

Offensive busses been stalled this quarter until last 3 possessions

[GenXer 2556]

They’re dropping for kyrie

[dcar00 13957]

Luka playing shitty D.  rich seeing Mazzulla arguing with refs.

[Stunns38 3275]

Washington is low IQ. Shit decisions over and over

[Skipper 5969]

Non-Luka/KY non-centers have a combined 5 points in 55 minutes.  That's pathetic.  These guys have to fucking step up and stop playing scared.

[dcar00 13957]

Luka has to step it up but at least the stupid TO's are being limited.

[Minute Bull 243]

If the Celtics are going to never double Luka or Kyrie then I hope they both just keep going to the paint over and over again.  No more 3-point fallaway jumpers please Luka.

[Skipper 5969]

For those bitching about Luka's D, he can't fucking do it all dealing with 3 injuries + playing this many minutes and carrying the offense.  It's impossible.

well that's what Cubes signed him up for with this lineup of bums + Kyrie...he also has 3 days rest.  

[Skipper 5969]

Kyrie is going to have to play just as well the 2nd half to win this I think + SOMEONE else on this team has to hit some clutch shots (like they have done all playoffs until this series).

[dcar00 13957]

ha.  didn't want to call that if he made it.  ref ball...

[dcar00 13957]

zero D.

[RexWilson 1341]

They have killed us from the dunker spot all series. 

[dcar00 13957]

its over.

[GenXer 2556]

Luka is gassed

[dcar00 13957]

nice gonna go down with THJ.

It was pretty much over once they made it.  The Celtics were already going to be a sonofabitch and then with the long layoff everybody but Luka seems to have lost any mojo they had.

[Navin R. Johnson 701]

Luka’s transition D is too much for Boston to overcome 

[SameSame 1672]

We're in bad Luka mode, and he's getting his butt kicked.  He's got the 4th to turn it around.

[DigDug 1642]

Tim Hardaway fadeaways, yeah this series is over.

[Surly Bevo 24604]

Good season Mavs….more than expected

[ITHorn 777]

Green,Maxi,THJ is pretty much a white flag in this series.

[bigcigar 1154]

Kidd just shit his pants massively

[DigDug 1642]

Scared on offense, slow on defense.  Bad combination.

[LurkingHorn 1035]

This has been a nice year, but it sucks to go out like this.  Just completely overmatched. 

[Rex Kramer 1240]

Sweep or gentlemen’s sweep. They’re just better and our forwards have wilted. 

[RexWilson 1341]

Kinda glad we can’t sign DJJ to long term money. He exceeded expectations but has regressed badly this series. 

[SameSame 1672]

From 13 up to 15 down (so far)

Will not be surprised if we see a major Luka full meltdown whiny fit in the 4th.

[Sgt Hulk 13537]

Gonna be swept and shit the bed 

[InkaUtexas 24933]

Coming over here since the other thread has no traction. I won't be a dick.

1- The Celtics are good. Yeah the east is soft. But they are good.

2- Shut down Luka and Kyrie and what else?

Celts play damn good defense. They smother and move. I think Dallas can come back in this game.

[dcar00 13957]

that was a funny foul on Luka there.  getting mugged but of course foul on him.  not that it matters in this game.

[Sawbonz 26892]

If they are going to call these bullshit fouls the mavs might as well fuck somebody up

[Quagmire 2139]

Pretty pathetic effort besides the first 8 minutes given the circumstance

[AbeFroman 2050]

Cut it to 20

[Surly Bevo 24604]

10-0 run.........only down 11.

Sigh
