GAME 34: BRK (16-17) @ DAL (22-12) | 123-111 win

[mtrot]

Ha ha, JJB already draws an offensive foul!

[DrMav]

Not sure how that was a foul on DP

[mtrot]

Not sure how that was a foul on DP

I'm not sure how a lot of fouls that are called on the Mavs are actually fouls.

[DrMav]

These refs are ass

[mtrot]

Seems like we were looking better with JJB in.

[dmavs4life03]

wow luka gets screwed at least 5 times a night by these refs. dont know why rick doesnt get a t every now and then to protect his star.

[ClutchDirk]

F the refs...must have money riding on the Nets winning...

I've been calling for him to do that for years now.  I think it has had something to do with him being head of the NBA Coaches Association.

Powell and DFS are 0-6 on threes.

[bartlettbear]

we can blame luka for going 3-16 from 3 but apparently carlisle's analytics say any other shot is bad so he had to just keep jacking them up as per the coaching staff

They are solid bench guys but neither is a starter on s title contender

[dirkfansince1998]

Foul the shit out of the Nets and dare the refs to call a flagrant every single time. Mavs need to match their physicality.

[ClutchDirk]

DFS just killed the rim...

[DrMav]

As much as David Stern’s legacy is tied to the increased popularity and globalization of the game, a huge part is also all of the referee issues that grew and were not addressed (and even encouraged to an extent) under his watch.

WTF is Powell doing shooting 3s. Thats bad coaching.

Yeah, you can tell by that last play that Maxi is scared to death to pick up a foul.  He just let that guy go right to the rim for an easy dunk. You can't do that, you have to put him on the line.  These easy dunks are becoming a habit for the Mavs defense.

He's shooting threes because the opponents are leaving him wide open.

[luka_skywalker_77]

Looks like Luka is a little worn out. Might just be me, but couple that with JJ starting and Luka playing off ball, his body language is simply off.

[dirkfansince1998]

On a side note. Watching opponents throw multiple good onball defenders at Doncic really shows that the Mavs need similar players. Mavs couldn´t event try to do the same to other superstars like Harden or LBJ because they don´t have the personal for agressive on ball pressure and ball denial.

well his job is to screen hard and roll to the paint any possession where hes holding the ball out by the FT line for more than 2 seconds is wasted possession unless its a bailout shoot clock situation.

[LukTheShadow]

I am probably wrong watching mavs game on both court sides again but if this game turn into L it'll go on bad mavs team D as last two L's went.
As good our tetris lineup rotation master is hope he'll figure out good D lineup and d game plan soon.

[dirkfansince1998]

Maxi > Dwight

---

Kleber is a one man army on defense.

---

Luka looks done. Bad decisions on offense. No effort on defense. Seems like the fouls (lack of calls) are getting to him.

[matt6715]

Brunson trade incoming? Hard to believe he gets a DNP-CD in a game like this without something else being up. But maybe that’s just me being paranoid.
