Game 51: Dallas Mavericks (27-23) vs. Brooklyn Nets (20-29)

[GATA]

Hardaway getting way too many minutes. Where is Hardy?

[BigDirk41]

Rough start and poor defense so far in the 4th.

At least Kidd called a TO

[Chicagojk]

Nets in a groove. Mavs so lazy on defense. No rest for Luka all half. Just terrible. Nets on pace for an easy 30 point quarter

the Luka thing is just so confusing 
what the absolute hell was Kidd thinking there?
Makes ZERO sense

[BigDirk41]

Nice pass by Luka and great finish by Green

[KillerLeft]

Big play from Williams there

Kyrie

[ThisIStheYear]

Kyrie Freaking Irving!!

[BigDirk41]

Kyrie bringing it home!

[Chicagojk]

Shot making on both sides is really impressive. It is a game of runs but Mavs need to get a little bit better on defense to be dangerous this year. You can definitely see they have a PF need. Not sure we have one you can count against the bigger teams in the playoffs. May need to be maxi.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Kidd is the New Thibs.

[KillerLeft]

This was another game that wasn’t totally horrible by Grant Williams.

[Jym]

Kidd is the New Thibs.

When Kyrie is out I fully understand riding Luka into the ground if we have the lead
not only was Kyrie playing he was playing amazingly tonight 
He needed a 5 minute stretch of primary ball handling time

[KillerLeft]

FINALLY! Josh was ready to shoot. The first half of that possession was PAINFUL because he was so indecisive. To his credit, he tracked down the offensive rebound and was ready for the ball the second time around.

Can anyone explain the horrible or team leading negative +/- numbers for Green last few games?

I know its not the best stat and based on lineup. Are Mavs staggering Green with a bad second unit offense?

[ThisIStheYear]

What’s kind of astounding is that Kyrie didn’t go to the line once. He’s pretty disrespected by the officials.

[youzigizag]

Kyrie dunk for Dirkie

He plays in a lot of lineups where THJ is the PF. It’s a Kidd thing..

[SwisherPrice]

That might have been the last game in a Mavs uniform for some guys...it was a respectable 2 games for GW, THJ, and Green so hopefully the GMs were paying attention. Now let's get some size!

Lakers, TWolves, Orlando, OKC...Clippers have size and experience...there are a few others.

League going BIG.

It's kinda sad but thats NBA business. I also wonder who's played their last game. Jerami Grant would be a nice addition.
