PLAYOFF GAME 1: UTA (1-0) vs. DAL (0-1)| 99-93 Loss

I can't believe Im saying it but bench Maxi

[cow]

Maxi needs to pull the trigger if Gobert is going to sag off so much.  Our defensive rebounding is going to cost us this game.

[Jommybone]

Great D by Maxi. Bad call.

[cow]

Shoot the fucking ball Maxi.

Nice shot by JB.

Threes start falling for Utah.  Uh-Oh.

[SleepingHero]

20 point first quarter. 25 point 2nd quarter. 

Defense has been pretty good.

Bullock and Maxi need to wake the f up on offense. Hopefully the Mavs can secure more rebounds in the 2nd half.

Maxi must be trying to get Powell paid and take a percentage. A 26 pt swing between them...in a 45-43 half. Crazy and sad.

Wish there was a blueprint for getting Gobert in foul trouble.

Maxi drove towards him which was probably a bad idea in the first place but then made a fade away move instead of going up strong.  Super frustrating.

[SwisherPrice]

Can't complain too much...it's not going to be pretty but if they can just keep it close and steal it in the 4th quarter, that's all you can ask for.

I know everyone hated RC but the playoffs is where he was able to work magic getting the most out of the roster to get production when they needed it (ex: Burke in the Bubble, Boban for stretches last year against LAC)

He's doing the Dwight Powell thing of catching the ball at the top of the key and not even facing the basket.  I'm going to scream.

[ThisIStheYear]

JB needs to improve his efficiency. Maxi needs to learn to shoot. Not a good half. Utah played very poorly and still leads on the road.

Anyone who doesn't think DFS deserves a spot on the All Defensive Team needs to watch the first half of this game again

Dorian sucks and Dan wants to trade him.

[MFFL]

Maxi is mostly useless. At this rate I'd rather see Boban out there.

Maxi still gives you something on the defensive end.  Getting Boban some shots might not be the worst thing for our offense though.

Refs giving Jazz all the bailout calls.

Crowd is dead.

I don't know at this point. I'd rather have someone that can give me a consistent shot right now in this game. Maxi looks snake bitten.

Crowd is dead.

Can't tell if it's actually dead in their or ESPN's terrible broadcast muting it.

---

Gobert fouled Powell clear as day.

[cow]

Come on Dwight.  You need to finish that first dunk.

Curse of Cuban in full effect.

Yeah really.  Everyone should start flopping when around Rudy.  When he sets a pick and someone like Dorian runs into him, Dorian should fly towards the ground like his shoulder is dislocated.
