Hornets sting Mavs

[EricaLubarsky]

Early game. 2NB2B

Mavs start like #%£¥

[EricaLubarsky]

20% from the field.
0% from three
2TO
Shit defense

16-2

[EricaLubarsky]

6-6 from the field and 4-4 from three

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs forgot they had a game today

19-4

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka 0-3 from the field, 0-2 from three, 0pts, 1TO, -15

[EricaLubarsky]

There’s some life

[EricaLubarsky]

Burke should be waived immediately for that lazy shit

[EricaLubarsky]

Burke is not an NBA talent

[EricaLubarsky]

This is just embarrassing

[EricaLubarsky]

Wtf is Burke even doing out there? Just standing there looking stoned while Montrezl gets the rebound

[EricaLubarsky]

Bertans and Burke are not NBA players

Crazy how much we miss Spence

[JTmoney2424]

And Josh Green literally hands the ball to the opposing team.

[EricaLubarsky]

Montrezl will continue to wreck us until we get a legitimate big

[EricaLubarsky]

Not an offensive foul but whatever

[EricaLubarsky]

Montrezl screaming “and one” after missing that shot bad

[JTmoney2424]

Green with another turnover. This guy can’t get out of his own way offensively

[EricaLubarsky]

19-5 run

Hornets announcers are so bad

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka team-worst +\- again

[JTmoney2424]

What a lazy end to the half. No one getting back on defense and giving up easy 3s.

[JTmoney2424]

Kleber can’t shoot. Charlotte should just leave him open.

[SMC0007]

I don't even want to start this game after reading this. Jfc. This team was lazy last game and sounds like it again.

Kleber is the first player on the team to get deer in the headlights. I don'ttrust him, at all

[EricaLubarsky]

Cut it to 2. Great run

Allow 9-0 run

That's the story here

[JTmoney2424]

This defense is atrocious. No other way to put it. Charlotte can get whatever they want whenever they want.

Hornets are physical and big

Mavs have no physicality at all and their selection of bigs are really vulnerable when you get a big, athletic team like the Hornets.

[tap2390]

Our defensive rotations are so garbage. We need Bull and SD back out there. Kleber's box score doesn't look bad, but man he looks scared on offense. He's become such a big offensive liability.

This is what I was afraid

The trade helped the offense because of Spencer but defensively it hurt in terms of rim protection.

Got to go get Myles Turner this summer

[JTmoney2424]

Charlotte is hitting their open shots but the supporting cast Luca has is putrid. Guys like Burke, Ntilikina, and Green wouldn’t even be on the rosters for the better teams in the league.

Yep, KP when he was playing was at least a big that contested shots and could rebound. This team crashes down and leaves wide open 3 after wide open 3

[EricaLubarsky]

LOL KP wasn't going to fix this. The dude was out of position every play and was a weak rebounder.

People forget how much Montrezl and Bridges wrecked us in the KP era.

[tap2390]

Won’t read too much into this game. With SD and Bullock out (especially SD) a lot of people are in miscast roles. I will say you would hope these are the games where Brunson steps up. He’s just not worth what he’s going to cost IMO.

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs just struggle with long, athletic bigs and that isn't going to change until we can get one of our own.

But yeah, the rotations were absolute @#$ without SD and Bullock. Burke could be the worst NBA player on a roster and he had to play 20 minutes (where he was -20)

Davis Bertans was asked to defend forwards and that was a big NOPE, particularly with so many other defensive problems elsewhere.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

I mean, I feel for whatever issue Reggie Bullock was dealing with, but guys just can't take games off at this stage.

Losing by double digits 3 of last 5 games is troubling though. Onto the next

[DevinHarriswillstart]

0-2 since Donnie decided he had nothing better to do with his life.

[SMC0007]

What a fucking barrage of offense from Charlotte. They hit every shot even some highly contested ones when we got it close. They stole our will with hot streak shooting. That was terrible timing to get ridiculously hot.

On to the next.

Seems a little suspicious and reaks of WCS when he took time off for “personal reasons” and is finally cut and is magically signed and playing the week after. I would hope Bullock is better than that though.

I'm pretty sure he could have outscored both Powell & Kleber combined together and also got a few blocks and contested shots at the rim.

And for the record no one is as weak as Powell when it comes to rebounding.

Dude gets out worked on the glass on a nightly basis.

Which is why I'm hoping this summer the mavs can trick Carlisle into taking both Powell & Kleber for Turner hopefully he'll bite

Maxi might have peaked two years ago.

I think injuries have started to take a toll on him and his confidence is probably at all time low.

Not sure why they won't just use him more as a lob threat to try and get him going.

[tap2390]

Mavs have some huge games coming up and really need to be cohesive heading into playoffs. Last thing they want to do is drop two games against Minnesota and find themselves in the play in tournament.
