I just keep going back to Dort’s 3 point play on an obvious charge early in the game. No challenge from Kidd. OKC coach, who’s actually good, successfully uses his challenges. The Mavs have a top 4 roster but will always be held back.

If he quit bitching at the refs all the time, he might get more calls. SGA doesn't say a word.

I really do think this PJ/Maxi lineup only works when Luka is in the game. Not enough scoring, playmaking, or size otherwise.

Nightmare game for PJ. Plus he's getting worked over by J Will.

The game was almost over, but Timmy really let them get the final nail in the coffin there just watching the ball fall into Wallace's hands.

Going small at the end wasn't smart. They are just attacking the rim.

Maxi sold this game so hard as well. Non impactful on defense and even worse on offense.
PJ couldn't buy a bucket but at least he could defend.

It goes without saying, but Kidd gets out coached every single game. It's pathetic.

Another 30 for SGA. He’s right with Jokic for MVP. He dominated the Mavs tonight. He’s the best we’ve matched up with this year. Plays great defense too. No whining. Just plays hard.

Maxi is always bad. Always. PJ just had a bad game. He’s a solid 5th or 6th best player on a quality team.

Mavs fought super hard. They played well.
I'm 100% convinced if we had Luka they win this game by 10+ points.

Didn't change a thing. They were down double digits when Gafford went to the bench. Are down nine right now. At some point you have to risk it. Play more aggressive on defense. Pressure the ball. Go for the three on offense. Maybe they could have waited a little bit longer but the game wasn't decided by big vs small lineups...PJ sucked in all available lineup combinations.
