GAME 2 Playoffs 2024: Dallas Mavericks (1-0) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (0-1)

[BigDirk41]

Hardy should be done until next game. Decent first quarter, but Kyrie needs to be better. He cost us 4 points on back to back plays waiting to outlet to Green until it was too late and then missing a point blank layup. This should be a 2 point game. We can't give away points.

Kat picking two fouls early on impacted our game more than theirs imho.

[Mavs2021]

Of course Green makes that one, but he can´t make a lay-up, when the ball is alive. That missed lay-up was a for a 28-28 tie. We haven´t scored since. Also again HARDY is not a PG. Keep him off the ball. Put Exum in and feed Hardy on the 3pt line.

Hardy out of control. Needs to just play and not try to draw the foul. He won’t get the call. He and PJ killed us that quarter.

[dirkfansince1998]

Really sloppy by Dallas.  Not crazy about how this game feels.  Dallas needs to tighten up on defense -and eliminate the careless mistakes

Game one had similar vibes but I felt much better about the Mavs defense because they controlled the paint. Right now the Wolves are dictating the flow of the game.

How in the world does the ball bounce off two Timbers before going out and somehow the ref thinks it went out on Dallas?

In Green's defense he had a dunk if Kyrie got the ball out ahead of him immediately. Kyrie waited for some reason.

I think KAT killed us. I never want him off the floor.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Why is Jaden bringing the ball up and trying to pass to Gafford 35 feet from the hoop? Can’t afford these stupid turnovers

[Mavs2021]

We need something from DJJ and Washington offensively. Also Luka seemed to hurt his knee again, about a minute into the game.

[BigDirk41]

Really disappointing start to the 2nd. Come on Mavs

[LukaMVP]

gave them too many open 3s

[dirkfansince1998]

PJ super disappointing so far. Liability on both ends.

[BigDirk41]

Call a damn timeout Kidd

[dirkfansince1998]

Luka all by himself. Rest of the team not ready for the moment.

[BigDirk41]

Lively not defending or rebounding tonight. Luka keeping us in it.

[BigDirk41]

Way to wait until we're down 15 Kidd

[ThisIStheYear]

Just give THJ a shot. Exum and Hardy are crapping the bed.

[BigDirk41]

Luka is playing great on offense, but he's allowed three wide open 3's. He's not even trying to close out on Reid

[LukaMVP]

Reid got way too may open looks at the corner and he made them all.
