Think Mavs would have been better off with Green on the floor instead of Looney

I'm sorry but Kidd at some point should have said let's chill on the 3's doing that 3rd qtr
I mean they completely stopped attacking the paint until the 4th qtr after they blew the lead.
It's not rocket science and I'm sure people will say they are young team and haven't been here before but that's crap because they knew what was working and they abandoned it on their own.
Green was in foul trouble and Curry which makes this even worse

Points in the paint:
GSW - 62
Dal - 30
Oh, and we got out rebounded by double-digits again (13).

Five stops in the entire quarter IF you count the eight second call.

Anyone else confused as to why doing that Warriors run did the Mavs not even bother to post Luka to stop the bleeding?
I mean they literally ignored going after Curry when he had 3 fouls by just launching 3's
The media will say Golden St played great defense yet Dallas just completely stopped driving .
And I hate when Luka feels as if anytime a team puts a big on him he has to go ISO and stop the ball movement.
Let the game come to you instead of stopping the offensive rhythm

Too bad our big's are allergic to the paint.
Powell is running around with an 11 Million dollar contract blowing dunks and layups while Looney is probably making less than 2 million and just finding opening in the seams and dunking the ball

Watching Looney's layup/dunk drill reminds me of how desperately we need a decent big.

LOL
The Warriors decided to say fuck the 3-point shot, will take the easy points in the paint
while the Mavs decided to totally ignore points in the paint because they were up by 19 points

Why does Shaq keep saying the Mavs shot poorly when they shot 47% from 3?
Shooting that good and losing is concerning.

Well he was talking about the 2nd half when the Mavs kept jacking up 3's and missing.
They scored like 13 points in the 3rd qtr because of the poor 3-point shooting.
Kenny Smith was right the Warriors are smart enough to know you can still get back in a game if the 3's aren't falling. They decided to keep attacking while Dallas decided they didn't need to attack anymore.
JB and Luka was basically getting any shot they wanted at the rim and completely stopped the entire 3rd qtr and Kidd for some reason refused to call timeouts.

He's speaking on the 2nd half of the game. We lived by the 3 in the 1st half and died by it in the 2nd. He's correct.

It sucks we lost but at the same time....I don't believe the Mavs are a good enough team to be here. And I think Kidd knows that. Its why they're playing this live by the 3 game. They dont' have the personnel to successfully win any other way.

They do....but at the same time...they beat up on two teams who had two great ones in Gobert and Ayton. And now they're losing to the one who doesn't have a big man.

I don’t understand why they can’t just start Maxi. He’s obviously the starting center. Rick did the same thing.

You agree that we shot poorly tonight? 47.4% FG / 46.7% from 3

The paint is so embarrassing. Literally high school defense and layup drills.
I mean it’s a successful season regardless, they put away the suns, who has more talent. Warriors brought it all together at the right time. They look so much better than even the first series.

Kidd: “Warriors are good. We got great looks but we have to understand when you miss 3 or 4 looks from three, you have to get to the paint and free throw line.”
The Mavs have two of the best paint scoring guards in the league. They have the personnel to do other things. Their best defenders are primarily three point shooters though (not uncommon), so they are going to have to hit them.

Yep
Sure we shot great in the 1st half but when you score just 13 points or something in the 3rd qtr and miss mostly all of your 3's that wipes out what you did to start the game.
I agree with Sha they shot poorly when it mattered most and I blame it their refusal to keep attacking the paint and Luka didn't post up at all when Curry had 3 fouls
Locked On Mavs is also questioning why they completely abandoned the offense that worked in the `1st half
Drive and kick out or take the layup and then they decided it would be smart for Luka to ISO looney just because he's a big.

Annoying, but some encouraging signs as well. I still think we can win the next two.

Possibly
But how do they get a big to match Looney's production?
I mean dude is just killing us on basic things you teach your big man. Our big's don't do those basic things and it's killing us right now.

We need to all chill. We are going to look back on this run in a few years and be amazed that Luka took a team full of basically league average players all the way to the conference finals. We just don't have enough talent.

I don’t see the harm in putting Chriss in Powells minutes. Stay glued to Looney.
Just try something else before my brain explodes watching layup drills in the western conference finals
