Game 7: Indiana Pacers (2-4) vs. Dallas Mavericks (4-2) | 8:45pm CST

NAJI FREAKING MARSHALL!!

BIG 3! THEN BIG CIRCUS SHOT!

I can’t believe there were so many writing him off after two freaking games. I think we’re all going to be really happy with him by the end of the season.

[SleepingHero]

Naji absolutely the MVP of the 1st quarter.

[KillerLeft]

Marshall was the Mavs’ best player this quarter.

[SleepingHero]

Really frustrating 1st quarter by everyone aside from Naji.

Luka had a really great stretch sandwiched between 2 really bad ones. Everyone else feels flat. 2nd night of a back to back may be taking its toll.

Also the Pacers have hit so many bullshit 3s.

[KillerLeft]

Luka is not very focused, defensively. That’s the polite way to say it, anyway.

[KillerLeft]

Digging this small lineup, kind of a lot. Luka needs to hold up his end of the couch on defense for it to get any traction, however.

[SleepingHero]

Luka had back to back really bad defensive possessions. Thankfully he made up for it by hitting a 3.

[KillerLeft]

But, they’re finally matching IND’s pace and getting easy looks.

[KillerLeft]

I was worried about this. IND wouldn’t be my first choice of opponent on the second night of a back to back.

[SleepingHero]

I don't understand why Klay Thompson isn't getting at least 3-4 shots a quarter. Luka can stop hoisting up some iso-step back 3s and we can run a play for Klay.

[KillerLeft]

PJ has done so many things right to start this season, but shooting isn’t one of them.

[KillerLeft]

GREAT read by Dinwiddie

[SleepingHero]

Dinwiddie is the first Mav guard to actively find Klay and a wide open 3 drained.

It evades me why the Mavs coaching staff is not hammering home finding Klay.

[SleepingHero]

PJ has done so many things right to start this season, but shooting isn’t one of them.

PJ literally has to start making those wide open 3s or he's going to get the Giddey treatment. Huge liability.

[KillerLeft]

This is some wild ass basketball and I’m here for it.

Loving the PJ/Marshall 5/4 combo.

[KillerLeft]

great pass, followed by a smart foul. How are there still Marshal non-believers?

He might be my favorite Maverick by the end of the season.

[GATA]

Irving is a traffic cone out there

[KillerLeft]

Well, once we got past the majority of the first quarter, this has been a great game, and the Mavericks have probably been the better team since that point. I’m pretty worried that they won’t have the legs to hang with the Pacers on the second night of a back to back, but I hope I am wrong!

[Chicagojk]

Fun game. Indy is tough to deal with. May come down who shoots better and gets a few key spots.

Mavs two losses they got very little from their centers. Nothing in the first half from Gafford or Powell. Will this mimic their two losses?

[SleepingHero]

2nd quarter much better overall from everyone. Mavs are still sloppy. I can count at least 8 points where off a Luka miss the Pacers beat everyone down the court and gets an easy shot.

Really love to see Klay get going late in the 2nd. Kyrie has been hot and cold. Luka has been hot and cold. Gafford has been missing all night. Powell has had some okay moments but we know what he brings at this point.

Naji has been great. Grimes has been meh. PJ NEEDS TO START HITTING OPEN SHOTS!
