GAME 38: LAL (31-7) @ DAL (23-15) | 114-129 loss

[TurkishMFFL]

The team has no game plan. Everything is dependent on whether the threes will fall or not. Thats why they are not able to score at the end of games and lose them.

The team's improvement game by game is little to none. Rick keeps taking the blame after games but that does not trsnslate into a anything different. Same old same old.

[philjuan1]

The one thing I came away from this first half is, this team is devoid of talent.

No, they have talent.  It's just that they tend to panic and get the yips against the elite teams.

Going up against two near 7 footers - THJ shooting from the top or off top of the key, which isn't his shot, instead of shooting from the corner which is his shot. They are swallowing up Luka on the drive with multiple people in the lane, we have no one that can move people out of the lane. 

No one can guard anyone, the biggs are just having their way down low, including Lebron. We need Whiteside and Morris. Then we need a fast point guard for our second unit. Donnie needs to get to work.

For the love of God, will someone please tell these Mavs to STOP going for every head and pump fake!

RC and the entire Mavs organization shouldn´t encourage Lukas behaviour. Throwing a temper tandrum like a 5 year old is not acceptable.

If so than nba should fire all refs as they are acting like 3 year old kids trying to learn how to blow 3cycle and ride a whistle...

Luka isn´t the only player that isn´t getting calls. He is hurting the Mavs with his behaviour. The best example for great on court behaviour and body language just retired. Dirk. Luka is young and has time to grow but he shouldn´t be allowed to get away with everything.

Powell is useless on D , he is God awful

---

There we go take some two point shot

[mtrot]

Smart TO by Vogel here, as Mavs were starting to get some momentum.

[bin610]

Come on let's make this a game!

[Hypermav]

Here we come...this probably won't age well.

Lebrom just pushed off on drive like he does every time,  missed lay up and then complained to refs. DId not eve n get back on d, it need sto start with him the league need to T these guys up right away first time they whine about a no call.

[mtrot]

Nice!  DFS fouls the snot out of McGee and puts him on the line, where he goes 1-2.

[bartlettbear]

Again levbon push off spins makes lay up and whines, It be an offense foul

[mtrot]

Well, Howard and McGee get their money's worth out of their fouls.

And that´s exactly why I want RC to keep Luka on a shorter leash. We don´t need another Harden or LeBron.

[bartlettbear]

Maxi and Dwight just dont play well together.

[mtrot]

Again, no help defense on LeBron as he sails to the rim.

[bartlettbear]

Lebron just walks back on d that leads to a three for Haedaway down ten lets go,

[cow]

Very interesting.

[Hypermav]

Just shows how much those LA bigs affect the Mavs offense.

I agree but it needs to come for the Commish office and refs just T him up after awhile when they only play 5 minutes a night they will change.

Very true, and oh how life would be if we had another big.
