Game 3: Utah Jazz (0-2) vs. Dallas Mavericks (1-1) | 7:30pm CST

[The Jom]

Grimes looks really smooth. I’d like him to look intense once in awhile though.

[SleepingHero]

I have really disliked how Luka has started the season.  Hopefully he can play h8mself into shape.  He has been bad tonight.  Good rebounding though.

Mavs searching for any bench guard to make an impression.  Din hasn’t done it tonight.

Bigger importance, that was really tough for Hendricks.  I typically don’t want to see those injuries but saw that one.  Wish I had not.

I thought Dinwiddie has been a bright spot tonight both defensively and offensively.

[Chicagojk]

Wow din with some huge shots late in the third.

[Chicagojk]

Nice minutes by Grimes and Marshall. Didn’t score and still can’t buy a bucket but nice energy by by both.

[LukaMVP]

classic Spencer. guy may have flaws but he can hit big shots one after another like a superstar tbh.

[Chicagojk]

Dallas playing pretty hard just not finishing plays. Lively needs to be better contesting a hot shooter.

[SleepingHero]

Great defense by Grimes on George on that possession.

[The Jom]

At the half, 2 stats stand out. Mavs with 7 blocks. Wow. And Jazz with a 14 to 8 advantage in free throw attempts. I suspect this one is scripted for pro-Mavs calls in the second half. I’d put money on Mavs to cover from here.

25 to 13 in FT attempts. It needs to happen soon if it’s gonna.

[Chicagojk]

Again, really like what grimes and Marshall has brought. Grimes still can’t find a bucket though. Finding ways to be productive though.

[SleepingHero]

Grimes has looked so good but every shot has rimmed out
Good play by him

What in the hell did Luka do to deserve to come back into this game?

[Chicagojk]

Kyrie at 32 minutes and played a long stretch. I wonder if he sits out tomorrow?

[The Jom]

What in the hell did Luka do to deserve to come back into this game?

Right. Trade him.

[SleepingHero]

What in the hell did Luka do to deserve to come back into this game?

His name is Luka Doncic and he's shown the last 7 years why he deserves to come back into the game

[Scott41theMavs]

Right. Trade him.

Come on.

No coaching consequences sounds like a great way to break Luka of abominable habits so that we can install a winning offense.

[SleepingHero]

GAFFORD THE BLOCK

LUKA TO KLAY FOR 3.

I LOVE IT!

I don't disagree. But are you saying Luka Doncic is not a winning offense unto himself? He's having a career bad level night. In fact he's only ever had a shooting percentage this bad only 1 other time in his career and it was when he was a rookie.

If we raise it just a bit he's only ever had 15 such games around this bad ever. Its ok. It happens.

[Jym]

yeah especially on a back-to-back, it was the perfect excuse to sit him the full 4th

I'd rather do whatever it takes to get the win.
