Can't say Luka didn't play hard this quarter, imo.
Not sure about everyone else.
Come on, Dinwiddie, THJ and Wood! Show us some semblance of chemistry on offense.

I hate the lack of shot attempts for Wood these last couple games.

It's how you defend the Mavs now. Play Luka straight up for three quarters and let him drive as much as he wants. In the 4th quarter you'll have fatigue as an extra defender.

Well, hopefully he's about to get super involved while Luka sits.

Seems like they are reading this thread. Start the quarter with a designed play for Wood. Get 2+1. Good things happen when Wood gets deep into the paint.

Luka has taken 30% of the teams shots through five games....50% of their shots in this first quarter.

I think you're onto something here.
Imagine if the ball moved for 3 quarters and he waited to "go off" until the last 6 minutes...they wouldn't be able to stop it.

Green missed but that´s the kind of shot he has to take. Progress...

Clearly trying to set up Wood in the post early in this quarter.

Mavs need to start making shots, because I can already tell 50/50 balls aren't going to be their friends tonight.

I think @"Chicagojk" called it winning plays. Mavs aren´t making them. Magic get every single lose ball.

Powell getting McGee's stretch of the 2nd...I think we might be in for a lot of buyer's remorse with McGee.

Let's see what happens to his confidence after that dumb turnover.
Stephen F Austin represent!

We can wait for a bigger sample size but I am getting really concerned about the defensive rating of SD lineups. Not like the defense has been great without him but once he enters the floor it turns into the league worst.

Dinwiddie watches the ball bounce to a Magic player because he assumes DFS has it. DFS rightly caring about the guy he's boxing out more than the ball. Sickening.

still such a confusing signing
a 15 mpg Powell clone was the last thing we needed after Brunson left. Scoring/passing was a much bigger need
