GAME 25: MIL (19-6) @ DAL (13-12) | 105-106 loss

[BoredAssistant]

I was gonna say that was an early challenge and stupid, but what do I know.

[dirkfansince1998]

Mount Brook makes it nearly impossible to score in the paint.

[dirkfansince1998]

Mavs have to be the worst team in the league when it comes to inbound-play defense.

---

Get a shooter on the floor and force Brook out of the paint.

Bobby Portis is huge for them off the bench. Does a little bit of everything.

[donzingis38]

Soon as Powell came back.. Bucks went on a 10-0 run

[The Jom]

Man alive. We hit the 6 minute mark and the refs turned on us like a Tony Brothers.

[dirkfansince1998]

Get a shooter on the floor and force Brook out of the paint.

Finally. I really don´t know why it takes so long for them to make adjustments. First possession with Maxi on the floor and Luka gets to the rim. Followed by a wide open 3 that DFS missed. Better looks than anything they created when Powell was on the floor.

[cow]

Don't love Maxi passing up that shot but that was a helluva block afterwards.

I had to step out for basically the entire 2nd quarter. Twitter seems to be very anti-Powell again all of a sudden. Bad quarter for him?

Just a bad matchup. Mavs really struggled because Lopez and Giannis build a wall in the paint. And without a stretch big there was little the Mavs could do to change that.
Also one of Green´s worst quarter in a while. Bad turnover. Falling asleep on a boxout. Number of small mistakes that add up.

[KillerLeft]

He looks hella good right now! Maybe he just needs me to be watching.

[dirkfansince1998]

Bad Timmy. Followed by bad Luka. Bucks are daring them to take those semi open 3s and the Mavs are falling for it.

Thought he was great. Called for fouling Middleton’s shoulder with his chin. Shoved front and back so he couldn’t get an oop. Called for setting a stationary screen. Rotates to help on/stop Giannis like a dream.

[cow]

Some bullshit fouls.   That Dinwiddie foul and Middleton shoulder Powell in the face in the 2nd quarter.

[KillerLeft]

Why not just go to Hardaway in the corner, Luka?

[dirkfansince1998]

Can be so easy. 5-out against bigs like Lopez. Force them to defend in space. Force them to defend the 3-point line.

[DallasMaverick]

Jrue is a pest on D.

[dirkfansince1998]

Or be Christian Wood and challenge Lopez at the rim.

[cow]

That dunk...
