The refs are idiots in every game. Nothing new. This was clearly a result of frustration being outplayed/outcoached by the lowly Kings for a 3rd straight game.
I´d now tell you we lost, because Carlisle did the same thing over and over again and expected different results, but what´s the point.
We were once again clearly physical overmatched and outrun by them. Of course the solution would be pretty simple, when you get beat down the court all the time and outjumped for offensive rebounds all the time. The idea would be to match their athletism to some extent.
Oh and Carlisle did it. He brought on Green, but not for the reason above, but because his precious veteran Nicolo Melli thought he was Nikola Jokic and nearly airballed his 4 foot hookshot. Guess what Green was all over the floor. He dove into the stands. He had two steals. He was +7 without doing anything offensively, just because of his physical presence and activity.
The Mavs are so starving for athletism in some match-ups, that Green is a net positive, just because he tries. Doesn´t even mean he has a long-term future in the league, but much like Justin Anderson all those years ago, just the fightingspirit can lift this team.
