PJ is in hell, won’t even look at the rim on catch and shoot opportunities. And Naji is getting the please keep shooting treatment.

The end of game offense looks it will be the biggest issue for this Mavs team. You can now scheme Kyrie alone.

OMG KYRIE SOOOO CLUTCH

[KillerLeft]

Dinwiddie has to box out there

[KillerLeft]

And Christie has to box out THERE!

[SleepingHero]

no box outs.

so jarring seeing how bad this team is at rebounding without Gafford or Lively.

[KillerLeft]

Whatever you do, Dwight, DON'T LOOK AT THE RIM!!! Sheesh.

[SleepingHero]

Kyrie did not like that Christie 3. And I do not blame him.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Powell is a disaster

[KillerLeft]

no box outs.

Another area where losing Luka hurts, too.

[SleepingHero]

Need a Kyrie miracle now.

[SirMyztiq]

Good game. The lack of size has doomed us. I liked the effort.

[KillerLeft]

This one was way closer than I expected, especially after the first quarter. I actually think they'd have won if not for a pile of mistakes down the stretch.

Almost encouraging. Almost.

[FireNicoHarrison]

We can see how bad we are at the end of the game without a floor general...

[SleepingHero]

Honestly Christie sold this game.

Lack of box out which pushed the lead to 6. Then took a crazy 30 foot 3 for ZERO reason.

Great win Purple and Gold.

There’s a lot that hopefully getting AD, Lively and Gafford back will solve. I fear late game offense is not one of those things unless Kyrie/AD two man game or AD mid post are the answer.

Thats why we need the Slim Reaper on the team

It will be a big problem.

Christie was horrific this game. Truly horrific. Like borderline unplayable.

[KillerLeft]

Luka and LeBron found something late with getting Christie switched onto LeBron in the paint. Kidd never adjusted. Kinda put Christie in a bad position. Oh well.
