GAME 3: POR (2-1) @ DAL (2-1) | 119-121 loss

[dirkfansince1998]

In my opinion some players on this roster fell like they are entitled to take a certain number of shots and if they don´t get them they start to force it.
Mostly THJ and Brunson. Direct opposite are players like Kleber, DFS and Wright. They only shot in the flow of the offense.

[SleepingHero]

Kleber is playing like a numbskull since the 2nd.

[TXBamanut]

Great that they are calling travelling...now if they could get the REALLY difficult perplexing and brain taxing calls like double dribbing...but I guess that's too hard to call

[SportPsychMav]

I would call a time out right now. They are getting sloppy.

Yep, feels like it.

[SleepingHero]

Refs are missing SO many calls. For both sides.

Jesus christ how can they be so bad at their jobs.

Jesus christ how can they be so bad at their jobs.

And they make between $150.000 and $550,000 a year to do it.

[SleepingHero]

Get Kleber off the damn floor. This 3rd quarter has been so bad for him, can't score, stupid fouls. Put Kristaps in.

[Hypermav]

Next up KP vs McCollum bench.  Need to keep that lead.  I never liked Bazemore.  Just wanted to say that.

Our offense has sputtered. Need Luka and Kristaps to inject some life.

Need Seth. For whatever reason we are back to THJ and Jackson instead of him.

1st quater- Mavs 40, Portland 25
2nd quarter- Mavs 31, Portland 34. 
3rd quarter- Mavs 22, Portland 33 so far.


Mavs gotta snap back into it.

Oh snap Collins just dislocated his shoulder.

LUKA TO KRISTAPS! THE LOB AND THE SLAM!

He fouled Luka. Wish him a speedy recovery but not today.

[SleepingHero]

What is DFS doing? Messed up all the space there.

---

Dame started the game 1 for 7, 

3rd quarter for him 6/7, 17 points.

[Mak]

We could use some Powell rite now

[SportPsychMav]

3rd Quarter Lillard on a run. Put.on a show.

Portland plays a very short rotation. Their starters play heavy minutes.

[SleepingHero]

Interesting stat to keep an eye on, Kristaps has 25 minutes going into the 4th. So far Carlisle has hard capped Kristaps at 29 minutes for both games.

I hope he breaks that trend tonight.

[Hypermav]

I think KP can work the paint coming up but they have to be efficient.

[Sepher]

Just remember guys, Blazers are a playoff team, they were the team that made it to the Western Conference Finals last year. Beating them, would be huge for our moral and for the over all mind of the team that they can beat a playoff team.

[Mak]

Jae Crowder hit a game winner

[dirkfansince1998]

Difference between a great first quarter offense and the current struggles is 3-point shooting. Started hot and ended ice cold.
