GAME 45: DAL (28-17) @ UTA (32-13) | 107-112 loss

We are now 7-12 against teams above .500

Also credit to Utah they actually went out and got a solid 3rd best player in Bog when they had the chance.

He’s no star...but he makes the game so much easier for Mitchell.

Would love to get Luka that guy instead of dreaming on a star finally choosing Cuban.

Hopefully Luka has some injury excuse for the all star game and just chills that week and a half

I'm so pissed about this loss, I could rip off my shirt now!

He is a perfect number 3 player on a contender. I wished so bad Mavs would sign him

Why? Mavs showed again they are close to the top but not quite there yet. Utah is better at this point. Core of the team is also playing together for some seasons now.

[BigDirk41]

No reason to get mad. The Mavs are what they are. They are a young fun exciting team to watch that hasn't learned to win close games yet. It will happen at some point. Obviously this doesn't bold well for the playoffs, but this year is about learning and growth.

Yeah there's no simple trade to fix that. 
We just need Luka and KP to be better in those situations. (And Rick to do a better job too)

[Davevoid]

Meh, I ain't even mad. Pretty entertaining game after all, gotta give credit to the Jazz.

We'll learn from losses like this, especially on the road.

[StepBackJay]

Mavs execution is frustrating late in games. I knew they weren't going to win a close game against a good team because it seems like they have to be up big to close out teams. It will get better especially with Luka who still makes some bad errors late in games.

Could have used WCS in this one. KP outrebounded 17-2 by Gobert. This loss is nothing shocking at all and I'm not overreacting to it. We'd have been blown out had we not caught them off guard early with good effort, they're the better team right now, Utah has been straight up killing it since they moved Ingles back into the starting lineup

Yeah, I'm a big KP fan, but 2 rebounds in that amount of minutes is BS, especially when you're the 5-out big.
