Game 16: Dallas Mavericks (8-7) vs. Denver Nuggets (8-5) | 9:30pm CST

You should all keep your traps shut about Westbrook for the next 12 months.

Nah, he’s trash. 

That sneak attack steal on the entry pass was great, and he does stuff like that all the time, but this shooting is abnormal and you know it.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Afraid this will be a loss.  They are either going to get paint shots with Jokic or wide open threes.  They are ina groove now.  Not sure who can keep up on the mavs.  Another stinker shooting game from Klay

That's who Klay is now unfortunately

[KillerLeft]

No it´s total BS. Horrible coaching, when Murray can´t throw it in the ocean. So why in the world you don´t play everybody straight up with no Jokic. No you double Murray and then don´t even show against Westbrook. That is trash defense.

Have you been watching the game? Murray can’t throw it in the ocean because they are double teaming him and smothering him like crazy. They have literally doubled him every time he touched the ball with Jokić on the bench. He’s having a bad game because he is the focus of the Mavericks defense.

Kyrie has struggled in the second half, due to increased focus from the Denver defense, too.

With all due respect, Murray has been bad since the Olympic Games playing for Canada. He's not the same player since knee surgery.

He´s shooting 41/33 for the season. Must be all the doubling by the Mavs that has him freaked out the whole year.

Heck, you didn’t expect to win a close game against a good team, right. Sort of our thing.

Sure, but it’s not like he’s missing open shots. They have defended him really, really well tonight. He’s not missing Westbrook style shots, he’s missing Kyrie style shots.

[Chicagojk]

Not blaming Gaff, but getting blocked by Murray was huge. Seems like a few times him not scoring late has hurt this year. One was that foul at golden state that was a bad call.

Look dude I don’t know what to tell you, but I would quadruple team Jamal Murray, 70 years old and in a wheel chair, before I would commit all the way up to the perimeter on Westbrook at any point over these last few years.

Westbrook shooting is the goal of the defense.

[KillerLeft]

Meanwhile, the Mavericks are fighting way harder than any of you are giving them credit for. A bunch of naysayers around here.

Just need Kyrie to get it going just a little bit and this is winnable.

Great block by Lively

[KillerLeft]

Absolutely incredible defense on Jokic during this last few minutes, and absolutely incredible defense throughout most of this game, that long awful Denver run excluded.

[Smitty]

PJ stole the Dirkie from Naji. Great work by him and Lively down the stretch!

[Chicagojk]

If mavs pull this out, those two blocks by Lively may get him dirkie. Plenty of time left though.

Lots of game left. Ain’t over yet.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

How does Dallas let Joker waltz to the rim? Too easy.

[Chicagojk]

Jokic is really in incredible shape.

[Smitty]

How does Dallas let Joker waltz to the rim? Too easy.

If you sneeze on him tonight, it’s a foul.

[KillerLeft]

Huge bucket from grown ass Naji Marshall!!!
