A joking Dirk: "I’m not really sure what [Livingston] was trying to do there. … I really enjoyed his tight grip. I really enjoyed that."

I just heard Dirk being asked about the incident on the radio, and Dirk didn't seem that pissed off about it. He said that Livingston is claiming that he was just trying to play good defense and that it happened by accident. Dirk calls Livingston a "good dude" and that he's going to give him the benefit of doubt. Maybe that explains why the Mavs didn't try to retaliate back at Livingston.

GLASS HALF FULL...
Tyson - had his 29th double-double with 10 pts and 13 rebs. It's the most double-doubles for the 14th-year center since he had 38 in 2007-08 with New Orleans.
JJB - shot 50% from the field scoring 14 pts.

GLASS HALF EMPTY...
Warriors shot 36 3pt shots to our 16?
Outrebounded by 11 - 55/44
has half as many assists 14 to their 28

JJB padded his stats late in the 4th. 7 points on 3-4 shooting. Until then he had 7 points on 3-8. 37.5% and his "defense" was pure comedy. In 2011 he at least knew how to flop and draw offensive fouls. 2015 he does absolutely NOTHING on defense. Guys just shoot over him.

6:50 106-89 J.J. Barea makes 18-foot jumper
6:16 108-92 J.J. Barea makes 25-foot three point jumper
5:41 109-92 J.J. Barea misses 24-foot three point pullup jump shot
4:22 113-96 J.J. Barea makes driving layup

He played like trash yesterday. Well he plays like trash since the all star break (at least).

So Monta just refuses to talk after losses?

I love Dirk, but I wouldn't be joking after a loss like that this late in the season.

He barely talks. He hits that game-winning shot in Milwaukee. He's gone and doesn't talk to the main media.

great points - another example where the box score does not tell the whole story...

Ehh, I think he gets a pass due to the unique weirdness of that situation. Not like he was joking about the loss itself.
