Goodbye, Maxi. Sit your ass at the end of the bench.

[Dtownsfinest]

Yeah when Harden is like this he?s unstoppable?..he?s in that mode that I thought he didn?t go too anymore?.

[EricaLubarsky]

Im out until the third if they show life. This is embarrassing. It's like none of our guys have been to the playoffs before and are completely star-struck and unprepared.

-21

[Melonhead]

Taking a break until third. This is inexcusable

[Lestat_1795]

And now Harden is going for 40 or what!

[EricaLubarsky]

13% from three. I just don't get this team.

[BPo001]

Ffs Timmy

[BPo001]

Just getting worked out there. Embarrassing

[Dtownsfinest]

A lot of standing around and watching did Mavs party last night in LA?

[EricaLubarsky]

Wonder if people are confident about Kidd now. We run off some wins against bad teams and people thought Kidd was a good coach again.

One tough game and we shit the bed as bad as any team in the first half this playoffs.

[EricaLubarsky]

Shooting 27% and 13% from three
Allowing 48% and 59% from three
Outrebounded by 4
20-8 on PITP
5-3 TO

The only stat we are winning is FTA where we are +3

[Lestat_1795]

Now even missing lobs is the basket in the wrong place?!

[BPo001]

Can?t even box the fuck out. Dallas is getting outworked.

[EricaLubarsky]

24% from the field and 13% from three. This team is scared shitless.

-27

This could be the most embarrassing series ever.

[BPo001]

Maxi scared as shit to shoot. Launched that brick

[BPo001]

29 points at halftime. Holy shit.

[Dtownsfinest]

Embarrassing..

[Dtownsfinest]

This is arguably the worst half of basketball I?ve seen in a long time.

[BPo001]

Clippers missing their best player and we are down 27. Unreal

[Dtownsfinest]

We are literally getting drilled by two people?

[Lestat_1795]

Worst half of the season. Great timing.

[EricaLubarsky]

11% from three for us. 47% from them.

League average 3pt shooting is 37%

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Well my optimism for Kidd getting fired has risen at least.

[GermanDunk]

Sup Erica | guys ?

This is why taking a week off and tanking those last games doesn't work when you're the hottest team in the league.

Just killed the momentum.

[EricaLubarsky]

I lied-- I didn't stop watching.

I also lied-- I'm not coming back in the second half when the Mavs somehow learn to score, but still end up down 22 with 5 minutes left and the bench cuts it to 14 so it looks close at the end.

Luka and Kyrie are on the big stage and they are not showing their stardom.

This is that Philly game that I took my friend to all over again.

They can't play in an afternoon game if their life depended on it.

[Dallas41]

Luka set the tone by jacking up 3's

Ten 3's taken already by him

[EricaLubarsky]

Now a single player shot even 40% from the field which was the old benchmark for efficiency. League average is 47%

Lively 33%
PJail 33%
Luka 31%
Exum 25%
Kyrie 17%
DJJ, Gafford, Kleber, Timmah - 0%

[Melonhead]

It?s my fault. Should?ve kept the discussion to the other thread Mavs Suckage

He's 1-7

Stats show 1-10

But either way you can't set the tone of a playoff game by jacking up 3's

This is why a few us have voiced our concerns with him not being used a little more in the post to get easy buckets with his size and strength

[Melonhead]

Whoever said Luka will be bad coming out of 10 days rest was right. I was wrong in thinking Kyrie would make that different.

This is all on them two and Kidd.

Yeah you aren't wrong and Luka/Kai are a combined 1-10 so the 10 is right if you consider both of our leaders

[Dallas41]

Thank you for driving to the basket on a fast break instead of jacking up a 3

[EricaLubarsky]

Offense is back.

Defense can't defend a thing. 4-4 on threes this quarter

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs are finally playing well and it's still -27
