GAME 17: LAC (13-5) @ DAL (11-6) | 99-114 loss

[DrMav]

Shoot it Wright!

[sefant]

Can't beat elite teams with the way Powell is playing. By far the worst player on the floor from both teams. Mind boggling that Kleber is behind him in the depth chart.

Fumbles ball on offense, no defense, no rebounding. Straight up garbage.

[Aussiebballer]

this is about to get really ugly

[mtrot]

Wright is being way too dang unselfish here, passing up wide open threes and failing to drive the lane.

[bartlettbear]

Brunson and Curry are not better player than Jackosn it is abusrd RC really as no concpet of what length on D and moving with out the ball on O can help you win games

[TXBamanut]

Okay...the air is let out now.  The starters can't play forever, but if the backups...
1)  Won't run the offense
2)  Can't throw it in the ocean

Then there's little hope of it happening.

Rick already gave up by not playing Luka or any starters in the 4th. 

SMH when will people realize 

Rick Carlisle = Jason Garett’s

[BigDirk41]

We are too soft to beat a team like the Clips. That doesn't mean we can't be a really good team, but physical teams have whipped us all season so far. This game hasn't changed my view of the team. We aren't on the Clips level, but who is really? They are a complete team from top to bottom. They are long and they all defend.

[SportPsychMav]

It's ugly from the very beginning. It's what works best against this team.

Foul a lot, refs can't call it all + it disrupts their flow.

[bartlettbear]

Piss poor effort at home tonight in big game

[donzingis38]

Fuck. it sucks we're losing but LAC is a championship calibre team.

[Hypermav]

Mavs don't have the horses (no pun intended) that the Clips have.  What bugs me is the lack of execution and deer in headlight looks of the bench guys.  JJB is not afraid.  Seth isn't either.

Watching him today makes me miss Dampier, Kaman, Dalembert or any other mediocre center from the Dirk era.

Maybe Kleber has a injury or is under the weather. I agree he would fair better than Powell.

[donzingis38]

Powell has been reading this board, guys

[bartlettbear]

Powelll attacking the basket

[dirkfansince1998]

Powell has been reading this board, guys

 Need to remember this for the next game. Call him out in the gamethread and he delivers.

[Tyler]

Maybe Kleber has a injury or is under the weather.

He was listed as questionable with a knee contusion before the game.

[BigDirk41]

I wonder how this team would look with Drummond at the 5? He's physical and rebounds like a monster. I don't follow him closely so it's a honest question. I've seen highlights and stats, nothing more.

[mtrot]

Why can't Brunson stand there?
