GAME 78: DAL (48-30) vs. WAS (34-43)| 103-135 loss

[SleepingHero]

Brunson passing up a wide open layup only for the ball to end up in Maxi's hands where he's forced to create something is just lottery level basketball. 

Kidd giving them too much freedom right now. These guys need to be sent a message.

[SwisherPrice]

That's game...Giannis is going to torch them on Sunday too. Best-case is 2-2 on this road trip

[Jommybone]

Mavs of late have owned Q3. Still very early tonight.

Not owning Q3

[Kammrath]

This team continues to suck when Luka is on the floor. They need to figure it out. 

I want to believe in them for the playoffs, but the Luka minutes being terrible seem to be more than a flash in the pan. It's been going on for like 20 games.

[MrGoat]

I hope the Wizards just put this away big time. We deserve to lose this one humiliatingly. Seeing an effort like this shows this team needs some humility

Singling out Luka is.....questionable at best.

Everyone is sucking. It isn't a Luka problem. There's a reason Kidd sat down Dodo and Powell early.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

This is very surprising especially with a hot Bucks team coming up on Sunday. They better find some energy by then.

[ThisIStheYear]

Wiz are a bad team. But three games in four nights with travel is just too much for this Mavs team. Nothing good can come of this.  Time to pull the plug. Sunday is now a must win game. Save the starters legs.

Too much Luka ball and not enough ball movement.  The ball just sticks way too often. 

That and Luka’s defensive effort has seriously waned.  

I expect his defense to improve come playoff time.  Not sure if the ball movement will improve.

Ish freakin Smith...

[SleepingHero]

SHEEESH LUKA

[ItsGoTime]

Here come the Mavs?

[MaxiThreeba]

Yeesh what a quick run. 

That was 100% a foul on KP and not a travel.

[SleepingHero]

Chriss's energy has been notable.

Maxi's form is broken man.

[ItsGoTime]

"Nnnnever give up. Nnnnnever surrrender!"

[SwisherPrice]

Avidja with the dagger. Too many opportunities to cut it before 13 and then just a bunch of garbage shots after that. Too little, too late

[Chicagojk]

Mavs might have missed their chance there.  Nice run.  But then finished with a Dinwiddie travel and a string of missed threes.   Wizards were struggling until a late three to put them up by 16.   Getting it to within single digits may have caused some pressure to the Wiz.  Have breathing room now.

[BoredAssistant]

JB can get going while Kristaps is sitting

[MaxiThreeba]

Mavs cut it to 13 and then don’t take a single good shot the rest of the quarter.  

All while the Wiz were just throwing the ball away before Deni finally hits a three right in Luka’s eye.
