MavsBoard

offense has really bogged down.  KP has taken a few shots where his feet weren't set.  Then on the three he was probably 2 feet back from where he should have been.    

I fear Mavs are not going to be able to score enough down the stretch.

I might be wrong, but I anticipate them not being able to. Luka cannot get around his man right now and get the penetration the team needs.

No way to get to the rim. They double as soon as he starts to backdown in the post. Collapse when he drives. If the Mavs cannot punish the Nets for collapsing there is not a lot he can do.

Sure, not 100% his fault.

Would go so far to say that it isn´t his fault. Feels like his decision making was close to perfect today. Only one turnover. Finding the open man on the perimeter or the cutter every single time.

What a dumb foul.

The ball is finding the paint again. I like it.

His decision making has been good tonight, I just think his ability to break teams down off the dribble even against double teams is really lacking compared to years past.

Rather have Harden or Mills taking the shots than KD.. Dude is a killer

Those Ntilikina minutes on Harden..wow

I wouldn't go that far, but he has improved.

Ugh, terrible D by Luka.

Mills is just off tonight. He's been money for them.

9-44 from three....20%.

Breakdown of the entire team. Luka is playing Harden close. That´s what the Mavs did all game long. But there was no help behind him.

Just not a championship offense.  Gone cold and stagnant the whole fourth quarter.  We have seen this for a while.   A lot of dribbling and standing around.  

First half was filled with movement and passing.    

They had some good three point looks but they are harder to make late.

But Luka hopped up to Harden's right hip and just opened up the lane for him.

Can’t defend Durant any better. Dude is just a killer.

Just as I said that, he makes a big three...But I'll take my chances with him than KD

Cuts of the first attempt. Not quick enough laterally to recover and stay in front. Harden also pushed off. Not great but not entirely his fault. Paint is open. KP and Powell nowhere to be found. If the Mavs expect any of their defenders to stay in front of Harden and defend him without any help they have a big coaching problem.
