Game 42: Dallas Mavericks (24-17) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (20-21)

I'm sure many are aware of this but from German to English, Kleber translates to Glue. Nice! I guessed Cleaver.

I mean I am a fan of fast and small but there needs to be better combinations than Seth and Jaden without a center. Especially against this Laker team. Bad run there. Can we stop doing this?

Seth needs to get going. Several blah runs lately

Seth Curry becoming a bad 3pt shooter was something I'd never have seen coming

38.4% for the season. Not bad. Bigger issue is him becoming a reluctant shooter. He struggles to get his shot off.

18% over his last 7, and 34% over his last 12. 

Same Seth Curry who's a near 45% 3pt shooter.

Hopefully Kyrie gets some momentum here and the Mavs can get some stops.

Luka had a bad quarter, Kyrie didn't have a good quarter. Basically no one outside of THJ and Lively scored consistently. Mavs aren't in a too bad of a place

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Am I imagining things or did the Lakers players just dive under our guys twice with no call

2/11. Super small sample size.  And that's the issue. 7 games. 85 minutes. And he only attempted 11 threes. He isn't on the floor because he provides plus defense or size. If he isn't impacing the game with his shooting he is hurting the team.

[SleepingHero]

So many missed shots.


GW is so frustrating to watch sometimes.

[KillerLeft]

Holy geez, Wood just gave Luka a 3 (horrible defense) and it wouldn’t go.

[SleepingHero]

Luka definitely went out last night.

[dirkfansince1998]

Lively being injured really screwed up the pick and roll chemistry. Feels like they are starting from scratch. Timing is off. Pass accuracy is off.

[Mavs2021]

Another of those shitshow games, where you say the best thing at HT is the score, and usually they get beaten.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Why is Doc calling Kyrie “Curry.”

[donzingis38]

Luka is playing like shit. Don't even blame Lively for those turnovers

[dirkfansince1998]

Unpopular opinion but Powell had the best +/- numbers over the last few games. At times he carried the Mavs with his hustle on both ends. And now he is a DNP-coach decision?

[SleepingHero]

Crazy Luka has 16 pts, he started the quarter 2 for 8, now 6-13 and we're still like "Dude is having a bad game.

DJJ has been so bad defending tonight

[dirkfansince1998]

Can trust the Mavs to help/double off the best opposing shooter.

[SleepingHero]

I don't see the foul at all there. All ball

[Mavs2021]

Prince flopping around like he´s Harden.

Luka will always get his points no matter what. But he's made some bad decisions so far and he's playing frustrated.
