That’s a big ask. But friendlier whistles would have subtracted 3 or 4 misses from his ledger and added 6 or 8 more FTs.

JB is 9-23 which isn't terrible. He took shots the team needed him to take imo. I expect him to be better next game.

Honestly I think the story of this game is the poor FT shooting. Mavs left too many freebies.,

The story is looking more and more like rebounds.

Refs doing their best to help us out

That too. JB's missed technical. Dinwiddie gagging after the first quarter, particularly at the free throw line. I don't think Kidd's done a good job either.

That takes us back to Brunson being more of a SG than a PG. There was a possession he took a bad shot on the left side, when DFS had Whiteside sagging off him. Him and Dinwiddie are more scorers than PGs. We are simply arguing something that is not there talent-wise with this team. Utah is not even playing that great. Unfortunately we´ll just proceed with the Dirk 2.0 plan as Luka will try to carry the front office all by himself.
We need two young PF/Cs with legit size athletism to rebound and defend. And we need a 2nd star. Nothing else should matter, but how we accomplish that in the next 24 months.

This team looks talented to me. Still in it late without their all-world star.

BULLOCK WHAT A 3.

Nice creation by Dorian. Would like to see more of that.

Yeah he needs to be a lot more involved offensively. He´s the 3rd playmaker. Get him some straight line drives against their bigs and he´ll make the correct reads.

He had two in the first half, though on the first kick out I wish he would have tried to murder the rim instead. He's been kind of invisible in the second half.

DFS WHAT A FAKE
MAXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
RE: GAME 1: UTA (0-0) vs. DAL (0-0)| 12:00pm CST - cow - 04-16-2022
Dorian just clamped Mitchell.
Those four free throws did Maxi good.

Maxi shouldn't have taken the 2nd three. Bad shot. Brunson should know better. That's what separates superstars. Luka would've found a way to score there.
RE: GAME 1: UTA (0-0) vs. DAL (0-0)| 12:00pm CST - Mavs2021 - 04-16-2022
God Dinwiddie has been a** in this 2nd half. Giving up the last five points with piss poor defense.
RE: GAME 1: UTA (0-0) vs. DAL (0-0)| 12:00pm CST - Jym - 04-16-2022
Dang.
That's exactly the shot we wanted to give up there
RE: GAME 1: UTA (0-0) vs. DAL (0-0)| 12:00pm CST - SleepingHero - 04-16-2022
DFS was the MVP. He made so many winning plays. Unfortunate the other guys couldn't actually step up and win.
