GAME 10: DAL (6-4) @ BOS (8-1) | 106-116 loss

[Hypermav]

Spurs may lose in Memphis, just trying for some silver lining.

[SleepingHero]

Mavs imploding

They haven't played a good basketball game since losing to the Lakers.

[BigDirk41]

That was smart to rest Luka half of the 4th

Was a tide game when he entered with 5 minutes left in the game. RC went with the lineup that made a huge comeback and brought Luka back to close out the game. Don´t  see a mistake on his part.

You don't see a problem with resting one of the best players in the league because it was a tie game? Yeah ok. Maybe we would have been up 5 or more at that same point if Luka was in. It clearly was a mistake.

Portland is 4 and 6 right now too.

[luka_skywalker_77]

Stevens is just far superior to RC not even in same league

THIS! RC's clock should be ticking this season

1 idiot and counting. This is why people avoid the gameday threads.

[dmavs4life03]

brunson cant guard a chair and THJ gets more shots than Curry and JJ..... that plus misusing KP, missed FTs. thats game. Good job luka for keeping me watching even though i know the result

[TheSportyChannel]

Luka = Dirk

Doing it by himself because of bad front office

The lineup that was in was fighting and keeping the Mavs in it. They tied it because the lineup was working. Carlisle wanted extra rest for Luka, PLUS he was mirroring the rest Walker was getting. Luka came right into the game when Walker entered. Carlisle did nothing wrong. Whats more surprising is how KP has been benched essentially the entire quarter.

[mtrot]

Either Boston's offensive execution is really good, or the Mavs' defensive execution is really bad.

Yeah KP definitely should have been in. Good call

[SleepingHero]

Smart with the dagger. Mavs cannot come out shooting 26% from the field and 14% from 3 and expect to win the game against a top 3 playoff team.

So he should have called a timeout. Stop the momentum just to bring back Luka? It´s the same story after every single loss. Somehow RC takes sole responsibility.

well barring luka going TMAC in 13secs thats game.

This x100

Rick wants to show the world he is a top 5 coach by trying to win without your only best player in Luka

Rick Carlisle should have been fired 4 years ago

[omahen]

Funny facts: 
- highest +- Powell and THJ
- lowest +- Luka

[TXBamanut]

"Daaaaaaa...which way did he go?  which way did he go?  AAAAiiiiiuduuuh!!!"

The sum total of all the commentary I got on NBATV tonight.  I honestly believe if I had listened to any random two drunks in any bar in America I would have gotten more quality commentary.

[Scott41theMavs]

If the Mavs can't figure out this Porzingis shit, this is going to be a very long and very disappointing season.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Porzingis letting his buddy Luka down big time.

He looked lost and disoriented out there.  He needs to man up.

[jesusshuttlesworth82]

Almost every single coach in the league takes their best player out to start the 4th quarter and tries to get him as much rest as possible until the other team goes on a run.  I feel like you guys don't watch enough of the rest of the NBA.  Carlisle was probably doing cartwheels he was able to rest Luka that long and still have it be tied.

We can agree to disagree. You don't have to take a timeout to make a sub. We lost so I don't think it was the right decision. It's all good. Doesn't matter now.
