GAME 3: POR (2-1) @ DAL (2-1) | 119-121 loss

[Jym]

Loving Rick's rotations tonight. 
One of Maxi or Porz needs to be on the floor at all times. Same goes for Luka and Wright

[burekemde]

This is the best time to rack up wins during this easy stretch of games...

Carlisle has brought back the old Dirk play. Cross screen through the paint for a post up in the corner, or a double screen across the key for an open shot at the top of the key.

Love seeing it. And Kristaps is knocking them down.

We’re goin streakin, boys.

Don't jinx it now.

Luka was flippin fantastic this half, but the halftime MVP award has to go to Kristaps

18 points on 7/12, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and a block (he should have 3 had the refs not blown their whistles).

The Unicorn nickname wasn't for show.

KP has officially arrived. We are scary good on defense with him and Maxi. Literally they dominated the paint.

18 Assists in this half, much improved from the Pelicans game as I said earlier. I think they had just 18 Assists for the whole game.


Hardaway plays a great game. Stop needing a scapegoat. This team has none.

Blame something else if you need to rage lol.

He had some momentum changing blunders but at least scored on decent efficiency. It is just hard to understand why an average shooter takes multiple contested 3s early in the shot clock.

We might get some bro time tonite.

Its honestly insane. I don't think the Mavs have ever had such a dynamic defensive force. Both of them can hit 3's, and lock up the paint. Its such a beautiful sight to see.

Reflecting on the first half, the unicorns are doing their thing but Maxi and DFS really making it all work.

You should read the Portland forum, just for enjoyment .

What amazing hustle by Brunson there.

[LukTheShadow]

Only more consistency in defense will bring this W in Dallas. 59pt in 1/2 is a lot, if offense will slow down a bit there could be a problem, POR not playing bad. And Lillard will wake up now..

Lillard has woken up. But Luka answers with his own 3!

[Hypermav]

face palm

[SleepingHero]

Lillard has woken up.

8 points for Lillard in 3 minutes. This dude is something else.

---

Luka is amazing. What a fake for the foul.


And this isn't flopping. He's baiting these guys to jump right into him.

---

OOOO Delon Wright with the fancy moves!

---

And then Wright for 3!!

[Hypermav]

Portland please go on a short cold streak...please

[Mavs2019]

Seeem Brunson wants to file for the J in THJ, cause that was some crappy play by him.

No clue what he was trying to do on the last drive.

[SportPsychMav]

I know you guys love brunson, but he really has a bad shot selection this season as good as he plays otherwise. Maybe Carlisle has to give him some plays as it feels as if he forces it from time to time just because he does not get enough shots for himself.

It seems like whenever they shoot a contested mid range it just goes in. Add on Lillard doing whatever he wants, Portland can just cut big leads to nothing.

He did that against Pelicans as well but nobody wanted to see it...

Luka 3!!
