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

[GATA]

Need to play Hardy over Dinwiddie

[Chicagojk]

I swear, there are games Turner looks like an all star (a lot of times he plays the mavs) but he also has a lot of pedestrian games on offense.

[KillerLeft]

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?

I think Powell was so ineffective he was replaced by the small lineup, which was highly effective. I’m skeptical he even sees the court in the second half, but we will see.

[KillerLeft]

LOVE this decision to start the third centerless. This was the Mavs best lineup in the first half by a mile.

[SleepingHero]

Mavs open the 3rd with Gafford on the bench!! ANd Klay hits a 3 to open the half!

[Chicagojk]

I think Powell was so ineffective he was replaced by the small lineup, which was highly effective. I’m skeptical he even sees the court in the second half, but we will see.

Well you were right.  

Rick going to have them attack the rim though.  Interesting matchups

[SleepingHero]

I love that they are finally spamming Luka-Klay PnRs

[KillerLeft]

Quick adjustment on both ends from Carlisle though.

[Chicagojk]

Way too many easy baskets to start the third.

[GATA]

PJ is unplayable

[SleepingHero]

Way too many easy baskets to start the third.

RC decided to start spamming post ups and the Pacers actually have the personnel to do it effectively.

[SleepingHero]

PJ's offensive game tonight is single handedly making him unplayable tonight.

Can't have this many wasted offensive possessions against the Pacers.

[KillerLeft]

Luka, why stop in the paint if you don’t plan to make any effort to contest the cutter?

Also, Gafford cannot hang with Turner on foot speed terms.

[Chicagojk]

Man as good as pj can be but when he cant score, it is painful to watch.


Indy is really hard to defend, but man’s doing no favors with their lack of D. Indy getting anything they want.

[Chicagojk]

Mavs just seem a little off so far. Way too many moments when they are not the best team on the floor.

Long season but they just feel a little off outside of the spurts.

[KillerLeft]

Great boxout by PJ. It’s easy to be frustrated when he has an off shooting night, but you have to remember that he is literally their best player in many areas.

[Chicagojk]

Turner having a night.

[Scott41theMavs]

This is something I don't want to see again for a long, long time - the Mavs without Dereck Lively.

[SleepingHero]

Gafford leaving turner there for a wide open 3 from the same spot, right after giving him another wide open 3 from the same spot, is enough to make me go bald.

Get him off the court man.

[GATA]

PJ sucks. Get him out of there
