Fought back, just couldn’t get a few more stops. Mavs dug too deep a hole. I guarantee you Portland would have choked late if Mavs kept it with 6-10 most of the game. Just got down too much. Poor Klay shooting game…with some important misses. Dinwiddie scored late but he had a poor shooting night for most of the night. Disappointing kleber encore performance.
Kleber was horrific tonight. Zero paint presence defensively. Had literally nothing to give on the offensive end. Passed up wide open shot over and over and on the other end it was a layup line.
Dinwiddie was awful tonight too. Had some of the worst shot choices and when Kyrie is literally a flamethrower in the 4th decides to hoist up not 1 but 2 transition 3s.
Horrible.
Kidd also sticking with zone in the 4th was also a massive mistake. Ugh very annoyed at this very winnable loss.
