    we have to come out hard again next half. MDA needs to add a player or someone needs to hit some shots. luc and carroll on luka and exhaust him . run run run to tire porzingins and boban . we can win we just need to hit more shots .

    Mavs wont shoot as well second half . we got frustrated when we gave up that last open 3

    Going against the crowd. I think we did an exceptional job defensively. We just let up on a few players which was probably by design. Looking at you Burke

    The man had 23 points in a quarter. He's getting doubled no matter what.

    Idk why we don't just play him off ball when they do that though

    Danuel House looks lost. He allows open lane to the rim for Doncic. Doncic doesn't even call for a pick. If I am MDA, I will come back with Austin in the starting likeup to begin the third quarter

    Mavs 55% from 3 and a 22 to 14 rebounding advantage is all you need to know. I think the Mavs are just a bad matchup. They're big AND skilled at every position.

    dumbass d'antoni probably in the locker room talking about offense. It's the only thing he knows how to coach.

    MDA is still that idiot coach.

    When they double team Harden, he doesn't know what to do.

    And defense is pathetic, but considering 5 midges....its expected.

    Traded two bigs for two mediums.

    Small ball is boring. And this is an all star game level of defense.

    Yea House is struggling. He hit a few shots but he hasn’t really done much defensively

    The problem was they all collapsed on every drive. That’s not necessary.

    Worst case you give up a ton of twos. That’s better than giving up wide open threes.

    but more likely than not the mud just be better defensively cause they’d still be contesting the twos. And they’d be contesting the threes.

    Need to play Green over House.

    House needs to back up RoCo.

    Better ****ing pick it up in the second half. Harden has 4 fouls though and Mavs seem to be getting all the damn calls too.

    At least Lance McCullers just stranded a bases loaded situation so that makes me feel a little bit better tonight. For now, at least.

    jeff green is the only type of length and somewhat resistance at the rim, but d'antoni is fixated on forcing house into the starting lineup.
