GAME 58: DAL (31-27) @ SAC (32-24) | Dallas lost 133-128 in OT

[donzingis38]

Powell fn sucks. Zero rim protection

[LukaMVP]

only way to make powell shine is to shave his head bald tbh.

[MaxiThreeba]

Powell has been an open invitation for Fox to close this thing out.

[Branduil]

Inject Wood into overtime you buffoons

Look, Powell may not have Wood's offense, but he's in there for defense, that's why we've gotten zero stops or defensive rebounds in OT.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

No wood ?

[IamDougieFresh]

Kidd is tanking this game...he wants Powell to be the hero, involving him on every play. Why is Green not setting screens here for Luka/Kyrie? They want Powell to shine on purpose

This is textbook undisputable proof that this Dwight Powell horseshit isn't going to work in the playoffs (once again).

[BigDirk41]

Dumbass Luka shot. I'm glad nothing has changed on that end

---

How is that the drawn up play

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Kidd ran the same non-play?!

[MaxiThreeba]

Man Kidd really changed up his end of game calls!  Luka inbounds and THEN does the thing.  

We are coached by a basketball savant that is somehow also an absolute dumbass

[LukaMVP]

things will get better when maxi returns imho.

[speedkilz88]

Luka is 2-9 on 3pt shots.

Wood, Green, and now Kyrie are the only ones shooting a good to great percentage.

[donzingis38]

It's like when Luka came back in game 3 vs Utah

[LukaMVP]

kyrie is clearly the better option in crunch minutes. just hope kyrie won't get pissed after the team's dumbass play in this game.

[LifeAquatic]

Just got home. Haven't been able to see the game. How have they looked with Luka back? Still moving the ball or ball stopping?

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Nobody said this was going to be easy. Winning games is tough.

[Branduil]

This really needs to be the last year the Mavs pretend Powell is anything but an energy bench big if they want to be serious about this contending thing

[BigDirk41]

I don't have a problem with the loss. I have a problem with that shot Luka took after the timeout.

[Mavs2021]

Don´t even know why the Kings kept doubling Luka. Only reason he needed two people on him was assisted standing. He has had his hands on his knees on every single possession on defense since mid-way of the 4th quarter.

Luka 4th QT/OT

0 pts, 1 reb, 1 ast, 2 TOs, 0-3 from field.

Everybody else on the floor was on a B2B and he was the guy that ran out of gas.

[Chicagojk]

Fun game.  Sac played well and made a few plays late.  It happens.

The game thread was pretty tough to read tonight trying to catch up.  Not a fun read.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

He’s playing injured though. Clearly.
