Game 22: Memphis Grizzlies (14-7) vs. Dallas Mavericks (13-8) | 7:30pm CST

[Chicagojk]

Tough ending to the third.

38 vs 22 in the third. Not great.

[KillerLeft]

Well, it’s the fourth quarter. The Mavs have had so many gutty victories recently I wouldn’t be shocked if they come back. But, it’s going to take one hell of a quarter.

Irving -16

Yikes. Memphis will be a problem. The Mavs are a player short of being able to beat them this year. Even with Luka playing well, they just can’t match them. Don’t have the horses or the coaching. Hopefully, they don’t meet in the playoffs.

[Chicagojk]

Is that right…mavs have 21 turnovers entering the 4th?

[Mavs2021]

I really think they should try to make the starting five as bad as possible.   That way Luka can do what he did with Dinwiddie/Bullock/DFS/Powell  anyway and then we can let the other five skilled guys kill it, while Luka sits. It´s really frustrating how messy this offense looks at full strength.

[Smitty]

Everyone outside of Luka is 4/18 from 3. 22%
Won’t beat good teams with shooting like that. 21 turnovers through 3 quarters doesn’t help either.

[Chicagojk]

Good test if the Luka, ky, klay lineup can get stops against elite scorers when stops are needed.

[Mavs2021]

These refs really look for any opportunity to screw us. Isn´t the head ref from Tenn.?

[GATA]

Luka has to start taking 80 percent of the shots

[JamesConway912]

I’m gonna say it: Lively not bouncing the ball on the floor at least once before he shots his free throw makes me FURIOUS 

It gets to me every single time even when he makes them

[Smitty]

10 missed free throws… sheesh

[Chicagojk]

Well let’s see if the mavs make a run. They are playing hard but just not hitting all cylinders during the second half and Memphis is.

During the run last year, dallas was the physical, tough team. I think Memphis has the edge with that tonight.

[Mavs2021]

2-7 in the last minute from the line. This game just blows. Nothing works.

[Smitty]

The fact that the Mavs still have a chance to win is kind of incredible.

[KillerLeft]

Man, Luka played so hard for 2 1/2 quarters. He’s still working out there, but in the middle of the third, he started to tire out. I just don’t think he has the legs to get them across the finish line in this one. It’s a shame that Kyrie had an off night tonight. Maybe he can get it going down the stretch.

[DallasMaverick]

24 turnovers
10 missed free throws

Oof
