Don't have it tonight....this will be a loss if something dramatic doesn't happen quick.
One of those nights. Hate to waste a good Hardaway Jr. night.

Good news for those who want Carlisle replaced, if the defense keeps up this effort he's going to have an aneurysm.

2nd night of a back to back does that to teams.
Mavs have been incredibly resilient so far in B2B's, but tonight it seems like they have no legs.
2 30+ point quarters for SAC.
Mavs actually scored worse in the 2nd than the first. Mavs need to regroup and find some sort of rhythm early in the 3rd or else this one will be over quick.

That got ugly quickly
Holmes is smashing them, maybe try Boban and make Holmes waste energy trying to guard Boban in the block and on the boards.

Luka looks off tonight. Refs don't blow the whistle much, but it's not a physical game.
Sacramento is super hot, but Dallas D isn't good either. They look a step slow.
Maybe the guy who thought they went out last night or stayed up to play video games was right, haha.
I'm still optimistic.

If Mavs come back I will be impressed. We might under appreciate Wright's defensive presence on a night like tonight. Sacramento shooting will probably cool off and I suspect the Mavs will have better defensive intensity next half.

Hopefully pissed off and hungry to destroy them.

It's not the end of the world if we lose, but I absolutely can't stand the lack of effort/energy. They are playing atrocious defense, not blocking out and not protecting the rim. I can deal with bad offense, but pathetic effort is tough to watch. Luka doesn't get the calls he should, but him and the whole team complain way too much. It clearly doesn't help them and only distracts Luka. I'm hoping for a much better 3rd. We can still win if we start playing defense.

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.

THJ shooting great, no assists or rebounds.
Heild, Bjelica and Holmes are 20-24 for 46 points.

Luka is off tonight. He isn't there this game, no rhythm. If he wakes up, game might change.
Steady timekeeper Delon is really missing with his metronome of patience.
