Mavs try to be Jazzy, avoid playing funk
Mavs only 1.5 games behind the Jazz for 4th. Only one game ahead of the Nuggets. Only 23 games left to establish seeding.
Both teams 6-1 in last 7.
Bullock - questionable
THJ - out
Burke - out
Chriss - out
Pinson - out
Gay - out
Butler - out

It has been a season of streak busting for the Mavs, having stopped 5 different win streaks of 5+ wins. Now they try to break a different streak, a 10 game losing streak in Utah, the games decided by 10 pt avg.

Mavs have Jazz 3x. They have to win the series if theyre going to take that seed.

Jazz are HEAVILY favored in Vegas.
Mavs are 3-8 against them in the Luka era. Mavs have not won in SLC since August 2020 and are 1-6 in SLC since Luka entered the league.

I like Bertans when he is knocking down shots. 7 min/14 pts/5-6 FG (4-5 from 3)

That last foul by Luka was not very smart
Got to understand the game situations

Idk why I see a lot of people says they’re the best matchup for Mavs. They always struggle against the jazz. Much rather see Memphis

I agree with you
Utah always seems to out rebound Dallas and score efficiently.
I hate the matchup and would much rather face Memphis especially if the Jazz get HCA.
Also the Mavs in that 3rd qtr had some terrible shot selections

Powell is so bad. I see why we need his screening and rolling, but JESUS.

Luka is so disrespected. He hasn't been great but he really gets no calls.

Refs letting them play. Sure looked like Luka got a good bump there, but I think they let his 6th foul slide when he hit Rudy.

That last possession was Kleber's fault. You're in the NBA. Have some f'in balls and take the shot.

It wasn’t a great closing 5. Can’t run a 2 man game with Kleber

same shit late in games
this team is never going to win close games vs playoff teams because they complain way too much and stop playing defense if they don't get a call
this has been going on for years in Utah so it's not players don't know what to expect

Mavs miss 11 of last 14. Luka missed a lot of those. He got way too personal and wanted a 1v1 with Gobert.

The problem is sometimes he jacks up those bad 3's and then if he doesn't get a call he'll complain and not even bother to get back on defense.
That shit will get you beat in the playoffs when you spend so much energy complaining while the other team is going back the other way to score.
I wish Kidd would put the ball in Brunson hands a little in late in games and play Luka off the ball or post him up a bit more.
I know Brunson will keep his cool and play through shit in close games

Bad coaching: ride your hot hands in Dinwiddie and Bertans.
Bad Luka: got frustrated and started forcing the issue... it's a problem with him that he'll hopefully grow out of
Bad matchup: our aggressive defense works better when we're not facing a team that makes more 3s than the Warriors

Of course we lose this game...
I see we're back to DFS and Kleber not showing up. I swear, these two guys will go down as the most overrated Mavs in history. Fans just looove them, and they'll never get us anywhere.

I know Luka wants to take Gobert off the ball but they need a better plan. If Gobert is iso on Luka then you give your other guys the ball some and make them scramble. If Gobert drops back to cover the basket then Luka or someone is open. If Gobert sticks to Luka outside then the other guys take it to the hoop. Iso ball won't win games like that.

Working for the switch to get Gobert on Brunson instead of Luka would have been better. JB is quicker.
Tough loss and we have a tough slew of games ahead. We just really need to tread water.

I don't think DFS even took shot late in the game
Kleber on the other hand passed up open shots looking scared
But having said that Luka was the culprit down the stretch. he took things personal vs Gobert. Didn't bother to move the ball on a few possessions and then if he didn't get a call, he would spend more time complaining than hustling back on defense.
By now he should realize when you play in Utah especially late in games your not going to get many calls. You need to fight through it and keep battling.
That's why I think Brunson needs more time running the offense in those situations because Luka tends to lose his head and spend the entire crunch time arguing with the refs.

I figured Luka would come out flat after all that time off. He and Brunson at least earned a game off.
But when push comes to shove, Kleber and DFS are going to let you down when you need them to carry weight. I hope I'm wrong, but Jazz are a likely first round matchup.
At least Bertans and Dinwiddie looked sharp. Feel like they know they have a lot to prove.

We’re only a half game up on nuggets. 6 seed is just as likely.

Mavs 8 free throw attempts.
Luka “I know that ref. He doesn’t like me.”
Sorry Luka you’re never getting a whistle again my guy. Open beef doesn’t work for certain players.
