Mavs couldn't buy a bucket if they had all the money in the world. No way in the world do the Mavs ever win if Luka goes 4/14 from the field, and Kristaps 4/13.
Just weird shots rimming in and out, had a few of those went down maybe the Mavs would've had some life injected into their runs but they could never just string together more than 3 positive possessions. Clips played really tough physical defense (explains the 35 FTA), which is a known weakness for this Mavs team. Mavs need to find a way to rise above physical play. Knicks beat us twice with that, now the Clips as well. In terms of the trade market, that'd be the one thing the Mavs should look for. Marcus Smart/Bev/Draymond/ are the types of dudes this team needs. Someone that can be just nasty and set the defensive tone and match physical play. One player who's currently a free agent who fits the bill AND helps the Mavs with their Powell problem is Joakim Noah. He played really well for Memphis when he got some games. He's obviously not the same player, but in limited minutes he'd be a spark plug off the bench.
Refs I also felt missed quite a few calls that deflated the team. Overall it was a tough loss, but a lot to learn and hopefully the team regroups against PHX on Friday.
