GAME 6: DAL (2-4) @ CHI (3-4) | 108-118 loss (no Luka)

[SkenfromLMF]

Man the Mavs get hammered with no call and Levine is getting any bump called.

[SleepingHero]

He plays zero defense and shows zero hustle, but boy can he score.

He's played some pretty fantastic defense on Brunson the last 5 minutes.

[Hypermav]

WCS made a nice play on the lob.  Finally someone getting way above the rim.

[SkenfromLMF]

I am interested in seeing Lavine play that D against higher caliber PG's

[Mavs2019]

He's played some pretty fantastic defense on Brunson the last 5 minutes.

Yeah I didn´t see the bad defense either. He tries hard. He actually overdid the help in the 1st half, which left Richardson´s wide open, so more a case of bad reads than effort. He can definitely move the feet to stay in front of guys, but he struggles with screens a bit. He´s also making all the right plays on double teams, but the rest is shooting 14-38.

[mtrot]

WCS is letting those guys get prime rebounding position.

[Mavs2019]

Brunson might be in that awful spot, where he´s far too good to be a back-up, but probably not exactly what teams look for in as a starting PG.

[Scott41theMavs]

Poop.

[dmavs4life03]

one of those stretches right now where we cant get a good shot off. and worse we cant secure a defensive board.

[Mavs2019]

Btw if we were to trade for OPJ, just get Gafford too. In five years we can say it was the Gafford trade.

[FunkBoreland]

Put the point forward JJ in the game. If Brunson and Burke aren't getting the shots, get the shot creator to get it running.

[DrMav]

Brunson might be in that awful spot, where he´s far too good to be a back-up, but probably not exactly what teams look for in as a starting PG.

I doubt anyone would make him the focal point of a trade for a high end player, but you have to hope that he’s tantalizing enough to someone hoping that he does have more to give in a larger role and will consider him as a nice piece/sweetener in a trade.

[SkenfromLMF]

Our bugs are just over-exposed without KP.
Put WCS's athleticism with Powell's brain and you have something...

[omahen]

That was one ugly quarter. Our center line is a joke...

[FunkBoreland]

Put the point forward JJ in the game. If Brunson and Burke aren't getting the shots, get the shot creator to get it running.

 
YESS HIS IN

Burke's gotta trust his teammates a little better.

[Hypermav]

sweet roll

[mtrot]

These refs suck

[BolsDamols]

Whats the harm of putting in Josh Green in Hardaway's place right now?

[dmavs4life03]

These refs suck

FOR REAL. Rick should hold up an LOL sign at some of these decisions

[Scott41theMavs]

We need a hero, and both our heroes are in suits on the bench.
