If you think I am being too negative in the moment, BY ALL MEANS, fill us in with your reasons for optimism!
Mavs are not a 50 % 3 point shooting team. But they are also not a 15 % one, and shots were not missed just because Clippers played great defense. They had same wide open shots. It was just a day like that. It happens. To me it is far more concerned that Mavs hadn't figure any way to stop Kawhi. I think they just need to put someone else on him instead of poor Maxi. I think Kawhi is way to confident that he can do whatever he wants against Maxi. At least mix it up, surprise him. Worse case he will remain the 70 % or something shooter he has been so far. It can't really be much worse.

I was actually surprised they didn't go to him more. He only had 2 more shots than in game 3, the only difference was that he was more efficient.
