Fun game, but it feels weird to be sweating out a loss rather than a win...

Coop looked good at times and like a rookie at other times. Moody was a particular pest and I could see Coop getting a little frustrated. Some 4th quarter turnovers were due to giving him the ball just over halfcourt and getting blitzed in that corner without getting a foul call. There were some possessions that didn't even seem to get the ball below the FT line before someone puts up a prayer. Feels like Kidd is just letting then play without much structure, which often hurts the defense and stagnates the offense, but maybe that's just me.

Tough injury to Moody. Announcers said he'd just returned after missing 10 games and was having one of his best outings of the season. The one brief camera shot looked really bad. I see a lot of physical therapy in his future.

I think DAL has played the most "crunch time" games this season (41) and only won 15 of those. FWIW, it gives me hope that getting Kyrie and DLive back while adding a couple FRPs could turn this into a really competitive team.

I'm just glad I was "cheering for the loss".  If that game meant something, I would have been so PO'd.  The refs just stopped calling anything on GS.  They were hacking the entire second half.  Also, watching Green set moving screens over and over is frustrating as heck.  Such a weird way to cheer for a game - your mad at the no calls but at the same time, your doing the Alonzo shrug on the bench.
