Ben hard does some great things, but he kills his dribble too early pretty often and also tries to make too many passes that aren’t quite there.

Even when the shots don’t fall, I like seeing Christie play aggressively. He’s got to do that more consistently, or he’ll end up being Josh Green’d.

Another game coming from behind. Horrible first quarter. Geez.

What in the world is Williams doing?
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - Mavs03 - 12-29-2025
Jason Kidd is a defensive minded coach? You could have fooled me. I could have scored a few baskets against that swiss-cheese defense. I know AD is a great player, but good Lord. You have Christie, PJ, Flagg and Gafford in your starting lineup and you give up 42 points to the Trailblazers?
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - GATA - 12-29-2025
Nembhard doesn’t need to see more than 10 minutes a game going forward. He’s got way too many
Weaknesses
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - Chicagojk - 12-29-2025
Awful. Layups, open threes, and offensive rebounds. Effort is a problem so far. Look slow and old again. What happened?
The last few games I have made a point of watching PJ stay in front of defenders or rotate properly. Let’s just say he has not been good. Although, he isn’t the only one.
I also have no idea what the offense is besides one guy trying to create.
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - Chicagojk - 12-29-2025
Wow…the defense is so bad. Even with a few Gafford blocks. Absolutely no resistance.
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - RBB - 12-29-2025
NBA finals 2 years ago...to this. Geez. Luka is gone. Kyrie is out. Lively is always injured.
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - Chicagojk - 12-29-2025
Can we get a JJ Reddick press conference
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - RBB - 12-29-2025
Klay's 3-point attempts have all been difficult shots tonight. Stop forcing it. Of course...the Dallas offense doesn't find him any looks anyway...so take hard shots.
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - RBB - 12-29-2025
Nice defensive half...sure. 75 given up to Portland?
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - DanSchwartzgan - 12-30-2025
I realize this isn't fun, but the formula for a stealth tank is:
1. Lose on the road (3 and 12 so far this season...3 and 13 after tonight)
Lose to bad teams anywhere (recent loses to Utah, NO, SAC and tonight qualify)
Win occasionally at home against good teams to give fans some hope, (Nice wins against Detroit, Denver, Houston and Miami)
The plan is working
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - GATA - 12-30-2025
Need Flagg to take over this fourth quarter. It is there
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - GATA - 12-30-2025
Get Nembhard out of the game
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - FireNicoHarrison - 12-30-2025
Nembhard movement ended quickly than Linsanity or Max Christie is a gem. Damn.
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - FireNicoHarrison - 12-30-2025
It's time for a Coop buzzer
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - FireNicoHarrison - 12-30-2025
OMG 2 consecutive 3s by Marshall are the tanking masterclass. Good job.
RE: Game 34: Dallas Mavericks (12-21) vs. Portland Trailblazers (13-19) | 9:30pm CST - RoyTarpleysGhost - 12-30-2025
Coop made the right play.
Would be a nice clutch loss.
