never ever ever everever verveverveverververv happebn.

agree

Luka is off tonight. He isn't there this game, no rhythm. If he wakes up, game might change.

I just don't agree with ya there. Luka has been one of the only players consistently performing on offense. 10/4/5 is nothing to scoff at. While he hasn't been supernova, he's been solid. 

Its the defensive side where the Mavs need to wake up. So many missed rotations and box outs. If they can just string together a couple of stops the offense will naturally flow.

I'm getting a snack, that should change momentum right?

The more I'm drinking the worse they play, maybe I should switch to a coke?

His floor is incredible but he isn't good tonight, he doesn't move well. I look more at the details.

Just double down and go for shots!!!
Jager Bombs will be a good pick up

JJB ball was RC over coaching.

The thing is, I do think JJB and Luka have good chemistry together, and having 2 guys out there who are incredibly unselfish and always look for the open man just creates a killer offense. The only issue is that JJB only knows one way to play, and thats with the ball in his hand and him looking to create, like a Mini-Nash, except less efficient. 

Which is what drives me insane, because Luka is arguably the best playmaker in the league right now and here we have RC, by design, making JJB the primary offensive creator where Luka doesn't touch the ball the entire possession, which should never ever ever everever verveverveverververv happebn.

Carlisle relapses yet again on Puerto Rican Rum. It is his weakness; he LOVES him some 2011 nostalgia. 

On a more a serious note, not sure why Carlisle thinks JJB is going to repeat his fluke performances from earlier in the season. He is trying to defy the odds with 35 year old player coming off an Achilles injury.

We cannot rely on JJB, let the regular rotation players work through it because that's who we are going to need to count on in the end.

[SportPsychMav]

Maybe he comes out.guns blazing in the third. I'm curious how they respond.

[LukTheShadow]

If D will not start to produce no O miracle will not help mavs win this game.
Harp said something about Luka's jordans, missed that, what did he say?
Let me see which "color" of shoes Luka will bring on the court into 2nd half.
I hope mavs will put themselves together and try to win this one.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Just a 20 pt lead. Teams come back from that, damn near every night. Hit a few 3's, you're back in it.

[mtrot]

Dangit, foul Bjelica if he's going to drive right past you anyway!

[SleepingHero]

THJ is spitting hot fire right now.

Powell has been getting cooked everywhere on the floor tonight.

[cow]

So much for miracles.

[Flipper]

Lol we are gonna lose by 30

[Fuerza1]

Oh oh, the deficit got even bigger. You know what the solution is? That's right, Puerto Rican Rum.

Bring him back in Carlisle, we need a spark!!!

[BigDirk41]

RC should pull all the starters and tell them they are finished for the night. No effort at all

[bartlettbear]

Wow I gues htey did not wake up in the locker room

[BigDirk41]

Good god THJ is on fire!

Thats it I'm drinking a coke.

[Aussiebballer]

Just feed THJ until he cools off
