Not impressed by the Pelicans. Any team in the league would be dominating this defense.

Getting hammered on the boards time for some bigg fella to play

[mtrot]

Wow, thank goodness for Maxi!  He's actually making a difference on defense.

[bartlettbear]

there we go much better

I like the way KP just put the ball on the floor and drew a foul. He needs to keep doing it.

[omahen]

I can't believe how stupid they are playing...

[bartlettbear]

Running around swticing  everything  miss matches every where

Problem isn´t the switch if that is the scheme they want to run. Problem is that they are only switching on ball screens. The weakside big needs to be ready and take over.

[bartlettbear]

DFS is not a starter and is palying way too many minutes

[IamDougieFresh]

We are like +15 in this game when putting in any defensive effort

[mtrot]

Big time grown man move by Ingram there.

Mavs playing much better now, mixing up the inside and outside game!

[ClutchDirk]

Another swat by KP...

[IamDougieFresh]

DFS doesn't look like an NBA player tonight

[Mavs2019]

This team still has no cohesion at all, but back in the game. That´s what having two superstars will do for you. Still think the 3rd "star" approach would have been the way to go last summer.

It is the the automatic switch on ball screen  leads to miss matches they dont need to switch it every time ,  need to mix it up , go under screen,  double  ball handler, swtitch here and there, hedge and recover, 

 IF  Balll is hte abll handler I go under screen every time let hi shot it.   But Mavs are switching every ball screen automatcilly withourt any effoet

[Flipper]

KP is playing great.

[Hypermav]

Proud of the fight.

[SportPsychMav]

Delon Wright looks good in the 2nd quarter. Really nice hustle and complementary play. He goes for the passing lanes on defense while trying to scrub away offenses mistakes like getting putbacks.

Porzingis plays very cautious on defense and tries not to hurt his body. On his offensive drives he is super quick, looks scary.

[dirkfansince1998]

DFS cannot defend Favors or Ingram. Why is he on the floor? For his offense?

Wright, Luka, ?, Kleber, Porzingis is the best we can do against New Orleans fast paced athletic basketball. Mavs really need to find the missing piece at SG/SF.
Today is not the day for undersized guards. Meaning that I would prefer less Brunson, no JJB and more Jackson, maybe some THJ/Curry.
