better players are needed, but the offense needs to change. Also, Luka needs to be able to play a different style when we get more players. The offense can always be him to create to get an open three for others. It is really tough to watch late.
They are attacking Luka in overtime.

In foul trouble and not playing well. Like most of the team. Maxi was the best big today and Kidd likes to go small. No suprise that they are closing with single big Maxi.

This teams always takes the personality of its owner. Always the victim. Grow up. Be the enforcer. Tired of all the complaining. Get tough!
I am letting my emotion get the best of me, but blow it up. Losing against Orlando and OKC back to back, where both teams looked better is just really bad.

We got pony whipped on the boards. Good thing we are paying KP $30m a year. Nice game by Bullock though. If I hear "this team is close" as far as construction is concerned, I'm going to flip my lid.

Bad L. 4th seed was within reach. Mavs dropped two must win games.

Who knew THJ was so important to team D?

Yep! KP's fault we lost tonight I agree.

None of these losses are surprising...we already complain that the team isn't good enough even WITH THJ and KP so without them, we have no chance against the rest of the league, even the bottom feeders like Orlando and OKC.

It's more about the despair that even had he of played, it wouldn't matter.

Defense lost us this game, and Luka is the number 1 culprit.

How r people still like really into this team? Same shit 3 years running. Luka and a bunch of jerk offs who miss open shots. Oh yeah, and KP is hurt.
But Dorian Finney-Smith and Jalen Brunson are essentially untouchable because what if those trades result in worse results for the short term??!! Mark could never.

That what rock bottom looks like. Back to back loses against two of if not the two worst teams in the league. They got beat by bad defense, bad rebounding, and a massive free throw disparity. The young Thunder, and I’ve really never even heard of 70% of their players, just whipped the Mavs physically. The Mavs took a pummeling tonight.

Disagree. Jalen Brunson ineffectiveness against length lost us the game. Actually two in a row now. He’s not a $20 million a year player folks.

I think defense was not that consistent but in stretches it was good enough. They just did not expect OKC to hit that many threes.
I think defense qas not the biggest issue this game, they were able to hold OKC to 103 in regulation.
I think the bigger issue was offense. Too many missed threes. The offense looked janky and unsure at times. I think the Mavs felt the absence of KP and THJ in this game.
Also, OKC came prepared. They have Dort defending Luka very well and their defense was well planned against what the Mavs are doing offensively. They defended Luka's post up very well which is what the Mavs are doing more lately.

Anyone know if the Thunder have a site like this one?

Rebounding lost us the game. That and our cry baby "super star".

We never held off on the anointing oil, much to Parcell's chagrin. He's an entitled brat on the floor and really needs to get taken down a peg or three. He can be a superstar when he gets us out of the first round or has as much playoff success as the guy we drafted and traded for him. Or better yet, maybe he could start by leading our team to victory against the second worst team in the conference who is missing their best player.
