    No Harden to end quarters is a bad strategy vs. Mavs.

    Russ is so inefficient today. Not finishing like normal.

    No surprise, both teams were Top 1 and Top 2 Offenses.

    Mavs had more efficient spacing.

    Shootout it is.

    Of course Hardaway and Burke won't miss their 3pt shots against us. I guarantee you they shoot like crap next game.

    You just have to accept that they're just having one of those games where they're not missing from the 3pt line, and they're getting every and one call.

    Not injuring them. Treat Burke like the Cavs treated Curry in 2016. Pressure, nudge, push, bump, elbow, shove.

    Is it too late to trade EG for Burke?

    Silver lining ? Yeah, I wasn't that excited about the return of the NBA tbh and watching this **** show, it's very likely the only game I will tune in to watch because I know where this team is going in a few weeks... HOME.

    The issue isn’t so much the threes they’re making. It’s that they’re basically open. Because they can’t stay in front of anyone. Porzingis is driving pst them.

    they’d be better off trying zone around this point. Not that you’d normally do that against a team that shoots great but couldn’t be worse.

    I didn't realize the Rockets defensive scheme would be no defense

    They probably aren't more open than any other game. It just seems like when they make the shots. If they got the same shots but were shooting 30% we would be talking about how great the defense has been. This is a fluke from burke.

    This is when you just throw defensive players in the game to cool their guys down.
