Our offense is such trash.

Just looked it up. Post allstar break (post trades) the Mavs rank 29t in catch and shoot 3PA. 24th in catch and shoot 3-point percentage.

Great defense from Kleber. Even better help defense from Lively.

After that T Malone got, Joker is putting Lively and Gafford in foul trouble. Both have 3.

Cannot help off Gordon. Jokic is going to find him.

THJ guarding Jokic near the basket is the definition of taking candy from a baby.
Dumb shot by THJ

Hardaway can’t be given playing time

Jokic f´n bearhugged Kleber to prevent the help defense on the Murray 3pt play.

Fun first half. Feels a bit like a playoff game. 14 fouls to 6 is tough. Mavs will need to start making some open 3’s. 4-17 (23%) overall won’t cut it against the best team in the league.
RE: Game 68: Denver Nuggets (47-20) vs. Dallas Mavericks (38-29) - dirkfansince1998 - 03-17-2024
Not sure if it is a rookie thing because Jokic is doing this to DPOY caliber bigs but Lively is falling for the bait. Jokic is patient. Gets deep into the paint. And just waits for Lively to come over and help. One step in the wrong direction. One moment where he isn't aware of Gordon and it is game over.

PJ blowing layups..

Nice travel by Gordon right in front of the ref. Mavs 20% from 3. Brutal!

Irving killing us

PJ having the green light to take semi contested transition 3s...
RE: Game 68: Denver Nuggets (47-20) vs. Dallas Mavericks (38-29) - KillerLeft - 03-17-2024
Gafford is a great finisher. That's for sure.
RE: Game 68: Denver Nuggets (47-20) vs. Dallas Mavericks (38-29) - Smitty - 03-17-2024
PJ can’t shoot but he’s doing so many things to keep the Mavs in it.
RE: Game 68: Denver Nuggets (47-20) vs. Dallas Mavericks (38-29) - dirkfansince1998 - 03-17-2024
Strong finish from Gafford. Need more of that. Target Murray and Jokic in the pick and roll.

It's ugly right now, but I think it's the right call. If they can't get him going this is all academic, anyway. Given the rotation Kidd seems to want to employ, Washington simply must make himself a shooting threat.

Yeah, and I promise I have seem him shoot in Charlotte. Well! Like, deadly, lethally well.
I don't think there's any remedy but to keep getting him looks and hope he gets right, because to your point, he has been the ultimate defender/glue guy since coming here.

PJ is becoming unplayable
