Youre acting like this is the regular team and a regular game. Mavs don't have Luka, it changes the entire dynamic of the team.
Yes that means even more you should run a play run somthing for some one than Brunson'
Fell so bad for the guys who played heart out only to lose because of Brusnon and RC

THJ hasnt even touched the ball in the last 5 minutes...

Brunson gets the opposite of the Dirkie tonight. Costly decisions to let the win slip away, then misses the wide open tying shot.

Brunson bricking the 3 is poetic.
Every single possession in OT was all Brunson, and he threw everything away. I can't believe Carlisle's grand plan was to give Brunson the final shot.
Honestly this is more frustrating of a loss than if they just got blown out. Brunson played a helluva game for most of his time, but basically all of choices late in the game threw away any progress the Mavs made.

Um, KP's missed free throws, Powell, KP and Brunson with missed layups. Yeah blame rick.

Unfortunate loss. Didn’t love the final possessions of regulation or OT but I do appreciate the fight the team should sans Luka.

Well, at least the Mavs will be pissed and hungry on Monday night!

They ran stuff for KP and Bam ate his lunch

Now on to how long will Luka be out.

he cant be in to finish games his refusal to move the ball is bad the ball just sticks to him
plus he has trouble finsihing
Mavs need to get Wright back healthy as well

That one hurt.
We lost Luka.
We wasted yet another great game from THJ.
Fuck, man. This sucks.
But people shouldn't blame RC on this one. Lots of missed layups and free throws.

This 100%. Mavs absolutely fought back and played amazing. It's unfortunate Brunson took a page out of Barea's book at called his own number time and again and came up short time and again.
Why didn't KP get any looks in final possessions is baffling. Why THJ only got 1 look in the last 6 minutes of the game is even more puzzling.
I hope Luka is okay. I cannot stand seeing Brunson get more than 20 minutes.

No moral victories in a loss...but I'm still very happy with what we saw tonight.

If they had won, THJ was really good in the come back.

For those putting this on Brunson for driving too much, in fairness to him, he's expecting other Mavs to move without the ball and give him a target. Nobody drives so as to help him. This is my biggest criticism about the Mavs, i.e., lack of aggressive movement without the ball.

If we don't have Luka Mavs might get blown out by 30 points against the Bucks.
MIL can just send 2 defenders at KP and force THJ/Brunson to beat them and as we've seen they're too inconsistent to rely on.

He went 2 on 5 the last time the guys were even set up and he attacked the basket

That's just the wrong approach. If Brunson wants to drive and find the open cutter then fine, thats a good idea in theory, but he ALWAYS picks up his dribble when he gets in the lane which is a death sentence. The reason why Nash was so lethal is that he never picked up his dribble and he had the defense on a yo-yo.
Brunson unfortunately just runs in with a full head of steam, stops and has the entire Miami Heat collapse on him, giving him no open passing lanes. Regardless of who cuts there's no way 6'2 Brunson is seeing over Bam, Butler, Jones Jr. and Nunn.
Furthermore, Brunson in OT barely looked to pass off his drives. He was more concerned looking for his own shot, thinking the refs would bail him out. He definitely got hit on some of his drives, but we saw time and again they weren't going to give him the call, and instead of adapting and making a smarter play Brunson just brute forces his way in there and throws away the Mavs hopes.
I wish Carlisle just put in Seth for Brunson and had the offense run through him. I had no idea why Delon wasn't there either, his heady plays might've made the outcome different in OT.
