GAME 69: DAL (40-29) @ PHX (28-39) | 115-117 loss

[Mavs2019]

Wow Luka refused twice. Clearly the clutch talk is in his head.

[dirkfansince1998]

Luka is inside 3ft and decides to kick it out back to the 3-point line.

[Hypermav]

Huh good

[omahen]

This team has no character.

[bartlettbear]

holy crap Carlise is atrocious,

go for the dam 2 under the basket, learn how to win close games,

[mtrot]

Well, maybe the Kings will be sorry enough for the Mavs to win a game.

[Kammrath]

That was not a good game by THJ....wow.

[SwisherPrice]

This team just isn't good enough. Just get out of this Bubble with no injuries

[Mavs2019]

Even if we assumed THJ´s 40% 3pt shooting is legit, why should we pay him more than a Korver or Curry? That extension talk must dead. We need a 3rd star and two elite defenders, wing and perimeter.

[ThisIStheYear]

More choking and the continuation of what looks to be a cascading series of events beginning with a bubble collapse, followed by a loss of respect around the league and a playoff miss next year and then the loss of their star player. Mavs have fallen behind the Suns who also have far more opportunity for improvement. The Mavs are going to need to blow it up.

[Luka_Magic]

This is definitely not the team identity you want to have but here we are.

[bartlettbear]

They might not win a game here, holy cow are they jsut so poorly coach they have as much talent as any team out side of CLippers and they just do not understand how to win.

[Hypermav]

Luka and KP did enough.  Seth was okay.  Maxi, THJ and DW have to do much better.  I bet Boban could have carried the 3rd quarter offensively.  Rick just didn't think his team would SUCK so bad in the 3rd.

Really blaming RC for this? Last play is 100% on Luka. He is a great player but this year he has been terrible in clutch situations.
Overall THJ and DFS lost the game. We do not have a single useful perimeter defender and it shows again and again. They made Rubio look like Kyrie Irving.

[Luka_Magic]

the reason this team sucks in the third as they always do is that Rick fails as a coach during the half

One real change is needed and then we can attract a decent FA to be the third option.

[Kammrath]

I bet Boban could have carried the 3rd quarter offensively.

Boban deserves more time.

[FunkBoreland]

Luka is inside 3ft and decides to kick it out back to the 3-point line.

He had a rolling KP but his eyes were already looking to pass to his right. Indecisiveness.

[Hypermav]

Letting Rubio, Payne and a rookie smoke you in the 3rd is just pathetic.
