Game 69: Dallas Mavericks (39-29) vs. San Antonio Spurs (15-53)

[GATA]

Luka just needs to get to the basket. They can’t stop him on drives and back downs

[Chicagojk]

Man I love our parade of rim hurting centers. A lot of fun

[DallasMaverick]

Luka 2 of 12.

The bum.

Cut him!

[Chicagojk]

Sloppy end to the quarter. Luckily spurs didn’t make them pay for it much

[DallasMaverick]

Ugly start to third

[KillerLeft]

DJJ just traveled because he's scared to shoot. He was at the 3-point line trying to cross up a defender who was at the free throw line, backing up into the paint.

Shooting is a PROBLEM.

Plus, the Bally app that I pay for keeps crashing every 3-5 minutes.

When the defensive scheme is allowing the "worst" shooters to get open 3s and they aren't missing as much as they should...

[GATA]

Worst game of Luka’s career

[dirkfansince1998]

Slovenian fraud finally exposed by NBA level athlets. Pre draft haters were right all along.

[Chicagojk]

What a roller coaster that third quarter was.

Even with a quiet Wemby game, they really struggle when he is out.

[speedkilz88]

Jacking up shot after shot is getting old.

[KillerLeft]

The Spurs are so much better with Trey Jones running their offense than they were early season with Sochan.

[dirkfansince1998]

Doesn't get more dominant than Wemby's defense to start the quarter. Chasing down Kyrie. Blocking Luka's step back. Thankfully he doesn't have the conditioning to play heavy minutes yet.

[dirkfansince1998]

Spurs switching the pick and roll. Collapsing on drives. Nothing easy in the paint. Mavs need outside shooting.

[Chicagojk]

What a god awful game by Luka. With Wemby out they should be attacking. They should be getting easy baskets when Wemby is not in there

[dirkfansince1998]

Exum with the bailout. Just like in the Nuggets game. When the opposing defense adjusts and takes away the easy pick and roll stuff the Mavs are in trouble. Playing iso ball with bad spacing.

[DallasMaverick]

Where would this game be without Kyrie?

[Jason Terry]

Kyrie is so underrated. You won’t see him on any “media” top 30 player lists. He absolutely is a star

[KillerLeft]

Exum and Kleber just will not shoot. This is concerning.

---

FINALLY!

---

Kyrie hyping him up during the timeout, trying to raise his confidence. I love it.

[Jason Terry]

Exum needs to shoot more. He’s been excellent all year from 3.

Hardy deserves Hardaway’s minutes. He’s just better. Credit to Kidd for dropping THJ minutes from ~30 to 17ish. Still too many. Hardy is ready.
