GAME 44: DAL (28-16) @ POR (19-27) | 133-125 win

[Darth Cuban]

Mavs up big on the road. What's not to like?

This is what's not to like, almost blowing the game in the fourth.

Huh? Is this trolling?

Wouldn´t say blow but in the late 3rd/early 4th they played really bad. Lead went from 25 to 10 in a few minutes. That´s the downside of a 3-point heavy offense. It can create big leads/runs but it can also give up big runs and blow leads.

It’s the nature of basketball. It’s a game of runs. Every type of offense/defense blows leads. This game was never really in doubt. Mavs never folded to any of their runs.

Amen.  It appears some of the new people here are not so aware of the Mavs' history of blowing 4th quarter leads and how nervous it makes us when they start sucking on defense and giving Dame one uncontested layup after another.

I’m aware of your pessimism. I don’t need to read every gdt.
