Game 39: New York Knicks (22-15) vs Dallas Mavericks (22-16)

[KillerLeft]

Man, Hardaway takes and then gives.  Really forced shot and then two turnovers

Can’t really blame him. There was literally no point guard on the floor. He is one of the guys keeping them afloat tonight.

Hardy going right at Brunson. Love it.

Hardy going right at Brunson. Love it.

This has been a much needed better effort from him, too.

[KillerLeft]

Free throws are a drag for Mavs fans in the Luka era.

Understandable.
But he doesn't have to shoot with just 4 seconds in the clock.
Specially in a game where the Mavs are moving the ball better.

I agree with that, I just think it’s easier said than done to carry the offense on a night like this. 

In my opinion, the good things he’s doing tonight far outweigh the bad things. That doesn’t mean I agree with every single decision he makes, it just means I appreciate his overall contribution to the game.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

I wonder who gets to have a triple double first this season: Exum or Hardy.

[DallasMaverick]

19-point lead at halftime.

Feels like the Memphis game, but reversed.

[dirkfansince1998]

Much needed production from Williams. +/- wise his minutes are still looking rough but he delivered the glue/energy guy stuff the Mavs need.

[Chicagojk]

Jaden has gotten much better the last few weeks being aggressive but not putting himself in a lot of situations where he was getting in trouble earlier in the season. Playing within the structure of offense. Really nice development from him. Still ways to go but progress.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Green in the second quarter: One drive and 2 missed FTs.

[Chicagojk]

Knicks made a few runs but the Mavs withstood. More Knick runs will come. I think guys like Morris and Seth may not be helpful tonight but they may need to provide some minutes. Mavs need to keep hustling and not let the Knicks dominate the board in the second half

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Not watching tonight. Seems to be working.

[Mavs2021]

We have some sort of Luka problem, whether it´s an actual on court compatibilty or just a mental application of some other players, when Luka is IN/OUT.

[KillerLeft]

Not watching tonight. Seems to be working.

Keep taking ‘em for the team!

[dirkfansince1998]

Cannot stop the Brunson/Randle pick and roll. Don't really like the half-hearted full court press. Either press or get into a set defense.

[Chicagojk]

Entertaining game. Knicks really attacking in the third and getting high quality looks. Underhanded Mavs are fighting led by Kyrie.

[dirkfansince1998]

How many minutes of GWill playing small ball center do we have to endure before Kidd finally gives up on it?

What is the alternative?

Lively and Kleber are hurt. They clearly don’t want to play Holmes.

[The Jom]

How is anyone complaining about GWill and Kidd still? I can’t even see em cause Kyrie’s supernova is so bright!
