GDT: game 58 - Mavs (33-24) at Cavs (37-19) 6:00pm

[EricaLubarsky]

Another tough team. This one isn't a matinee at least.

Mavs start the B2B against the Cavs and continue tomorrow against the Raptors with Celtics Friday before heading home to host the 76ers and a rematch with the Pacers.

Really tough run. Can the Mavs recover from an embarrassing Sunday loss while continuing to face tough teams? One way to find out.

Exum is getting closer but will not play tonight. Word is he may be available tomorrow at Raptors.

[Melonhead]

I think Mavs recalibrate and bounce back tonight. If they can limit their center, Im not too worried about Mitchell.

Get PJ doing actions instead of floating behind the 3 point line

[EricaLubarsky]

Is it bad to hope for a blowout?

A) We need some Hardy minutes to convince Kidd to play the kid and
B) Tomorrow is a must-win

[SMC0007]

Is the honeymoon phase over? Will our defense revert? Will Thj suck asshoe?

[Melonhead]

Fuck Kidd how is thj the first damn player off the bench.

PJ wont get involved in the offense this year.

[EricaLubarsky]

Good to see Timmy is back

[Melonhead]

And like fucking clockwork THJ turnover

[Melonhead]

This team should be better offensively man. Far cry from that thunder game.

[EricaLubarsky]

Easiest three is the corner

Kidd?s teams refuse to guard the corners

[EricaLubarsky]

DEFEND THE CORNERS FFS

[EricaLubarsky]

Inability to defend the three almost cost us a 9-0 run

Luckily he missed two FTs so it?s just 7-0

[Melonhead]

Kidd will be the death of this team. Just a horrible lineup with thj and DJJ out there together along with maxi and gaff.

We have the talent to be so much better than this quarter.

[EricaLubarsky]

Timmy 0-3 and you?d think he was our captain

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Don Nelson coined the term "box of rocks" type of players. THJ is one of those.

[EricaLubarsky]

16-6 run

[Melonhead]

Maybe I was wrong about bouncing back tonight. They don?t look good at all offensively.

[EricaLubarsky]

-13 since the end of the first

It appears we still suck

[Melonhead]

Hardy great pass transition.

He needs more minutes, nice to have him out there with Kyrie

[EricaLubarsky]

-15 since the end of the first

Mavs teams appear able to only start a game well

[EricaLubarsky]

-16

Fire Kidd for being totally unable to work a rotation

[Melonhead]

Really cool how every shooter is sagged off of

[EricaLubarsky]

Up 20-14

Since then mavs 11, Cavs 27

[EricaLubarsky]

Mercy rule this shit

[EricaLubarsky]

Teams gonna shoot 50% from three when you never challenge the shot or even get within 5? of the shooter

[Melonhead]

The slow out has begun

[EricaLubarsky]

Since the end of the first:

Mavs 15
Cavs 35

[EricaLubarsky]

Defense allowing 53% from
Three

[EricaLubarsky]

27-53% 3pt shooting

0-2 coming with some tough as games in the next 1.5 weeks

[Melonhead]

Lazy lazy lazy.

Be cool if we had a coach

[Melonhead]

Gonna find something else to do tonight.

Zero excuses anymore to play like shit.

[EricaLubarsky]

On pace for -52

Maybe we can rest Luka for tomorrow

[EricaLubarsky]

-7 on the boards

Lazy team comes form lazy coach. At least we now know it?s not just personnel

Starts when your coach is a couch potato who can only watch

[Melonhead]

Had to revert back to Luka do it all.

And he did.

I won?t be surprised if Mavs get blown off the floor in the second half. The slow out is coming unless Luka is planning on 60 points.

[Melonhead]

Luka is such a dumbass. So annoying he?s yelling and fucking 1

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka tech leads to 5-0 run

[Dallas41]

Here's why I don't agree with Luka barking at the refs

The mavs got away a few non calls to start this 3rd qtr. The refs swallowed their whistles when a couple of fouls could have been called in the paint on our defenders.

Luka decides to bark at the refs on a play that where he was barely touched

Just ridiculous to get that tech

[Dallas41]

Kleber is such a low confidence player at times

[BPo001]

Luka with his league leading 13th tech. 16 gets you suspended?

[Melonhead]

Can we seriously pull it out before watching Kleber launch a 3 from the damn corner

[Melonhead]

DJJ really fell back down to earth after his start to the season. Doesn?t do much out there
