GAME 37: DEN (26-11) @ DAL (23-14) | 106-107 loss

Why did DFS throw that back out? We did not need a 3 pointer.   He could have pulled up for a short jump shot.

[Flipper]

Terrible just terrible

[Hypermav]

That was dumb.

Oh, the ol DFS throw it away play.

[bartlettbear]

So I turned the game on about 7 minutes left in the 4th and they have scored 6 points. They have run Luka/Dwight PnR almost every possession. Just stop. It's not working.

Coaching is so bad for the Mavs

I think he was scared to mess up and then he messed up.

[BigDirk41]

I hate to keep saying this but Luka has to get better at the end of games. He's really been playing bad in late game situations lately except against the Bulls.

[donzingis38]

Im so pissed off. Speechless.

[Mavs2019]

Surprise. Another shit play at the end of a game.

[cow]

Powell + Wright just kills spacing too much offensively. Rough night for DFS.

[Darth Cuban]

luka seems to think  he should get some jordan calls on every attempt and lately has been playing to get fouled more than to score. and the 3s are like great when they go in but bad shots

This is an awful take. What was the stat the other night? 36 straight drives with no foul call?

[BigDirk41]

Unless something changes with our clutch play, we are going to be a easy out for someone in the playoffs. We are just atrocious at the end of games.

[mtrot]

Also,  What would it have hurt to bring in Boban to defend Joker on that last play?

[SwisherPrice]

This team just isn't good enough this year but oh well. They will make the playoffs, which is better than I expected. They'll get swept but we just have to live with it

[Hypermav]

When does KP come back?

[dmavs4life03]

lol man. it was fun while it lasted but with luka in this look for fouls mode first and everyone else standing around like zombies on the 3 point line...... its not fun and the results speak for themselves. Teams are just working luka knowing the refs aren't gonna call a foul every possession and our coach is dumbfounded to make any adjustments. And no Maxi on Joker that last possession? Our plays are both easy to predict and easy to stop with this "only 3s" mindset.

Rick has taken the medicine cubes was on where he thinks hes the smart one in the room. ughh (end rant)

[dirkfansince1998]

Suicide drills for the entire team. The amount of mind blowingly dumb plays in the clutch is growing.

[IamDougieFresh]

This game never should have been down to the final play. They pissed away half of the 4th quarter.

No, no, no. 

You clearly missed the fact that the Mavs have been losing games in the FIRST quarter.

[mtrot]

I think he was scared to mess up and then he messed up.

 My impression is that a lot of the Mavs are afraid to mess up and consequently messing up.

[Mavs2019]

Btw where was the JJB defends Jokic play? Jokic always lowers his shoulder into the defender. Not like Kleber or DFS could stand their ground one on one either. At least JJB forces the refs to make the call either way.
