It's like he doesn't want to play tonight.
Warriors are playing it smart. Good spacing. Isolating Brunson on the perimeter. Or having Brunson´s man in the dunkers spot. Forcing Brunson into a help defender role.

My takeaway from the 1st is that the GS defense is LEGIT.

I’m so glad I get to watch some of the game. Today was an unlucky day for me. I got into a car wreck, but I’m okay! God is good, I’m good, everyone is good! I hope the Mavs get a win to replace my unlucky day!

Sorry for your wreck, I hope the Mavs make it better. Not off to a great start though.

And Draymond isn´t even playing. Although it feels like he is the head coach.

Glad you're alive and healthy!
Hopefully the Mavs give you something to cheer you up!
OKAY BRUNSON NICE 3!
And then Brunson just stops playing defense????????

Bad communication on cuts and screens. Warriors have them confused.

Understatement. I think this guy’s defense is drastically overrated.

And like you said, it's like the Mavs are playing in a gear too high. They seem to be rattled.
My only thought right now is a guy like Smart wouldn't be playing this poorly on defense. He also wouldn't be able to have created 5 quick points with a highlight step back 3 and a crafty drive right there.

Thanks buddy! I was on my to pick up my daughter from daycare in the left lane going straight. Then, a lady was turning left, but she didn’t have the right away & collided into me & hit my car. Luckily I had air bags, but it could’ve been a lot worse. My arm is burned from the air bags, but no severe injuries thank god! If I didn’t have air bags it could’ve been a lot worse! Yeah. It’s not looking good with the game. I won’t be able to watch the whole game, but I have it recorded.

GSW is eating Brunson alive. If this is a playoff preview yikes.

Luka has been rattled by the refs. He's playing for the call now every drive instead of making the best play.
He's going to get a tech very soon too. He has a right to be mad cause the contact is there, but it doesn't matter. Next play mentality that he doesn't have.

Not like Brunson can do anything about it. Physical limitations at full display.

A timmy season ending injury would be devastating in trying to trade him.

Devastating for this team, too. He was playing well tonight.

This is a loss. Mavs look ill-prepared and overmatched.
Unfortunate too cause a THJ injury nixes any shot in improving the team in a meaningful way.

Looked like he tore an upper thigh muscle, when he planted his left foot for the lay-up.

Need more Green and maybe some Frank. Players that can get over a screen. Cannot give shooters like Curry or Thompson clean looks. If they make one or two in a row they will make the next three.
