GAME 25: MIN (6-18) @ DAL (11-14) | 127-122 win | 2 game win streak

[Mavs2021]

We've been asking ourselves what's been missing with the Mavs? Why do they look so bad compared to last year?

Was it really so simple as just getting the fans back in the AAC?

Yeah I´m sure that´s it. Not playing the 2nd worst team in the league. Also Iwundu over Green and predictably he sucks ass again. Carlisle is hopeless.

no movement on offense, everyone just standing around watching the guy with the ball

[mtrot]

Looks like the Mavs are going into chuck mode.

Worst thing they can do now is give them back hope. Game is not over if you are up 20 at halftime, you have to keep playing. Still lack that killer instinct. Fundamentals...

[mtrot]

Good on JRich for not giving Beasley the easy layup.  Beasley misses one FT.  This is why you don't give a player the easy layup.

[mtrot]

Now Mavs scoring inside!

Rubio falls down to get the charging call against JB.  Milloy gladly obliges.

[Jason Terry]

This is what we were supposed to be all along. Good to see us playing well

Mavs are playing arguably worst team in the league which is missing their two top players and another couple of rotation ones (Culver, Hernangomez). Not really a performance to brag about by Mavs in the second half.

I like Powell a lot in his reduced role (sorry Dougie). Too bad about his contract.

Still an nba team. We dominated them from the tip and have led by 20 all game. What more could we want? We’ve had the hardest schedule in the west up to this point. About time we had some good breaks(minny guys out)

KP was hot early.  Otherwise, this team doesnt look any better tonight to me.

Luka took a night off once Mavs were up 20. Offense is way to static

[mtrot]

Eh, Luka bricked that three and the 'wolves sink a three on the other end within 3 seconds.  I don't like it.  We were doing really well when we were penetrating the lane and drawing fouls.

Brunson again with good facilitation, this time for the wide open KP three.

Isn’t that what everyone was asking for? Luka not having such a burden. KP played his best game all season and carried us. That’s what your 2nd best player is supposed to do. We’ve missed that

Of course it is nice to see some easy win here and there. But Minny is really terrible and Mavs didn't put them away by halftime after an excellent first quarter. They should have

Luka and first team guys could be done by mid of third quarter resting on the bench if they didn't start fooling around after first quarter. Now they will have to play through whole game.

[mtrot]

Mavs better start penetrating and getting to the line.  These bricked threes are only serving to set up fast breaks with easy shots for the 'wolves.

Rubio sells another foul.

[omahen]

Luka already at 32 minutes. Didn't really get any rest

[mtrot]

Milloy will rule for the Wolves, I suspect.

[mtrot]

Dammit, Luka.  Stop that hero stuff.
