GAME 1: DAL (0-1) @ PHX (1-0) | 102-106 loss

[cow]

FIRST BUCKET

...on a cut no less.

[Hypermav]

need a luka run

[mtrot]

Green's body actions remind me a bit of J. Jackson.

[SleepingHero]

Luka makes that half court shot but misses a layup makes sense

[cow]

Nice D by Powell.

Brunson was atrocious.

[SleepingHero]

JRICH for 3!!

[mtrot]

Whew, Luka's floater came up way short.  Which leads to an easy fast break bucket on the other end.

[cow]

Geez, Luka.

JRich D on Booker is awesome.

[SleepingHero]

Man the Suns are just triple teaming Luka.

Luka hasn't figured it out yet.

[cow]

Luka needs to hustle back on D. Fortunate that open three didn't drop. Good assist on the other end. We are super lucky the Suns are as rusty as us.

[Scott41theMavs]

Post-Achilles Powell is radioactive garbage. There's no stinking way WCS could hurt us more.

Honestly that whole fastbreak was out of sync after DFS's bad pass. Ruined Luka's whole timing by the time he controlled the ball he was at the 3pt line. I think he also wanted to lob it but it was too late and just threw up a short arm floater.

[mtrot]

Holy b-balls, Batman!  Mavs shooting 25% vs the Suns 45% and only down by two points!

[SleepingHero]

Post-Achilles Powell is radioactive garbage. There's no stinking way WCS could hurt us more.

Honestly Powell hasn't been bad more as he's just been non-existent. Which I guess is better than bad...? 


He's only given up like 3 shots so far that I felt could've been contested better. Way better than I was expecting

I'm telling you, it's largely Powell.

[Playmaker]

Luka playing apprehensive. We need more aggression and assertiveness out of him.

He's had some nice defensive possessions.  Explosion and bounce is definitely not there on D.  If this keeps up, I'd move Johnson to the starting role.

[Hypermav]

PHX is going to screw around and the Mavs offense is going to click and run away.

[SleepingHero]

Luka with a nice postup

[mtrot]

WTH is Powell doing there?  Knocked the dude right over.

Come on Rick, challenge that foul on Maxi.  He went straight up, and the announcers are wrong, he did not move forward.
