Lets get this out of the way, that was one of the most horribly reffed games I've ever seen in my life. Leon Woods should retire. He just made up rules. He was horrific. Everyone on that ref crew has no business of being a ref. I am legit angry that these guys will get paid for that performance. NBA needs to stop recruiting guys from the school of the blind. They probably accounted for 15 undeserved points for the Pelicans just by how they were calling it.
Now onto the Mavs. This was a fun game until Luka got hurt. This team was rolling. Luka was a maestro. He should've/would've gotten the Dirkie had he not gotten hurt because he was on cruise control to a 45+ point night with a 30 point blow out.
But we don't live in that reality. The Mavs were up 26 points with 7 mins left in the third when Luka had to sub out. From that moment on, THJ and Dinwiddie did everything in their power to lose this fucking game. Its like they were trying to lose. They played some of the most selfish, disgusting, HORRIBLE basketball I've ever seen in my life. How Kidd let them remain in the game is beyond me. I mean 3-18 shooting? What the fuck? Taking a quick trigger 3 when all you need to do is burn clock while the Pels have all the momentum when you're 3-17? Tim Hardaway Jr. deserves to be paraded in the streets of Dallas with everyone shouting shame at him ala GOT for what he put together tonight. He deserves to be sent down to the G-League if all he wants to do is shoot a fucking basketball. He has no business being on a winning team, and tonight was irredeemable. I will countdown the days he's off the Mavs. He's on my forever shit list.
Dinwiddie is no better tonight (ok maybe a little bit since he made his FTs). He decided that since Timmy is doing all the shooting, he needs to do all the dribbling. Literally play after play, no movement, only isos, dribbling at the top of the key as if the defender is going to fall asleep watching him pound the air out of the ball, only to run into 4 other guys and hoist a wild ass shot looking for a call. When that stopped working he decided he HAD to shoot some step back threes cause he might physically fall ill should anyone else touch the ball. He is an embarrassment of a point guard. He deserves no more than a 20 min role where he comes off the bench to shoot. At least he had the ability to realize they need to run clock at the end and he hit his FTs.
Josh Green was the lone savior of tonight. He righted the ship and made hustle play after hustle play. He clamped Ingram on the final shot where he missed. He rebounded countless offensive boards after Timmy tried breaking the rim with his bricks. So he gets the Dirkie. Luka is runner up. DFS honorable mention because he defended so well and hustled like crazy.
*I forgot to write about Bullock because he's a ghost on the court.
I am shocked that these dudes blew a 26 point lead in the fashion that they did, as 2 guys almost singlehandedly ruined the offense for 19 minutes. I've never seen that from a team that's "trying" to contend.
