ok no dumb 3s here. brons about to go hard here

[SportPsychMav]

Zone kills the Lakers. Floppy offense/turnovers boosts them.

[DrMav]

I didn't think there would ever be a basketball player that ever looked like less of a player than Brian Cardinal, but a big congrats to Alex Caruso for that. Killing us too.

THJ ice cold at the worst time.

[mtrot]

Brain fart by Maxi.

[Hypermav]

Maxi noooo

[BigDirk41]

Such a rookie play by Maxi

[SportPsychMav]

Starters had an excellent 3rd quarter. Powell can play zone defense and played good offense. Luka killed them.


I love Hardaways man on man D. He is an excellent player when playing a role and within himself.

[mtrot]

15 point lead going into the fourth.  No excuse for not winning this.

Caruso is a very good player. Easy on the eyes (playstyle and movements).

[Hypermav]

Keep aggressive Mavs, don't play prevent defense.  Need some switching in and out of zone defense to not let them get comfortable.

THJ hasn't hit his threes, but I think most if not all of them very decent shots that I'm comfortable seeing him take.

He's making the right plays on offense, and his defense is good. Deserves praise for his adjustments. Hopefully his shot will return in the fourth.

[Luka_Magic]

The way the Mavs responded to that Lakers run was impressive. Between this and Pheonix their ability to counterpunch is really coming along.

[Hypermav]

This is happening.  No really.

[mtrot]

Uh oh, Green in.  Don't lose him in the corner, please.

[Hypermav]

Here come the rescue refs

[dirkfansince1998]

Maxi should defend the best opposing forward at all times. LeBron cannot beat him of the dribble and Kleber is strong enough to hold his position in the post.

Side note...smart foul against Howard.

[mtrot]

Harp is right, Wright needed to make a play, not pass to Powell and expect Powell to make a great play with a few seconds left.
