Its a big'en

[EricaLubarsky]

Everything says that their defense will shut us out and they will outrebound us bigly, but we need to win at least some of these big games.

We beat the Lakers twice who are 5 seed.

Other than that, we haven't had a single win against a top-8 playoff team.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

I mean, our offense is a juggernaut and we're firing on all cylinders right now. It'll be a close game at least, but I think we can win it.

[EricaLubarsky]

Good start

[EricaLubarsky]

Exum is here for offense but his defense is stellar

[EricaLubarsky]

We?d be up 30 if we made open threes

[EricaLubarsky]

So many open shots missed

9-0 run

[EricaLubarsky]

Bailout call by refs

10 or 11-0

[EricaLubarsky]

HCA reffing is supposed to benefit the home team right?

[EricaLubarsky]

Open ass shot

Completely air balled

What is wrong with us

[EricaLubarsky]

Lively much needed score

[EricaLubarsky]

Their D is so good we?ve missed five wide open threes

[EricaLubarsky]

Crooked ass refs

[EricaLubarsky]

These refs suck ass

A tech for basically nothing

[EricaLubarsky]

I get that Luka has to control himself but he can?t even make his case?

What gets a tech is so unpredictable and so subjective that it?s a joke

Luka may miss games because he respectfully asked about the foul.

But Silver will punish teams for holding players out while his refs are messing things up

[EricaLubarsky]

Edward?s waves his arms and punches the air. No tech.

Fucking ridiculous how Luka gets a tech and Edward?s doesn?t

[EricaLubarsky]

I love that you can hear the booing in the arena

They should be

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs problem: supporting cast can?t make open shots

Wolves problem: 6TOs

Whichever resolves faster will be the winner


Mavs +4 after one

[EricaLubarsky]

Wolves so many unforced TO

Mavs so many missed open shots

[EricaLubarsky]

And the refs who never review ANYTHING against us go back and review a hairline out of bounds play to take three points from us?

[EricaLubarsky]

What the fuck is up with these refs

Bail out ass call.

Obvious three second violation. Barry in control of the ball. No significant contact.

[EricaLubarsky]

Gobert blitzed Hardy and not a foul

Hardy not touched and 2FTs

[EricaLubarsky]

This game is garbage

[EricaLubarsky]

Refs giving three times the FTs to Wolves

[EricaLubarsky]

Defense allowing 47% and 43% and getting outrebounded

Not a good sign with shots not falling

[EricaLubarsky]

Gobert 3fouls

[EricaLubarsky]

8-0 run

This team loves giving up huge runs

[blessednegr0]

We need to turn it up offensively.

[EricaLubarsky]

And just like that we lead by as many as 11

And it?s tied

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka gonna be ejected because the refs are that bad and Luka knows it

[EricaLubarsky]

Against any defense we fall apart

[blessednegr0]

THJ has come back to his norm.

[EricaLubarsky]

From +11 to -3

[EricaLubarsky]

This team just collapsed

Kidd has no answers

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs just look bored and defeated

[EricaLubarsky]

Allowing 55% and 58% from three
-9 on the boards

[R28J]

Mavs looked like they were playing better when Exum was in the game instead of THJ. Exum played 12min to THJ 16min in the 1st half.

Agreed

[EricaLubarsky]

Raspberry sounds

I know we?re supposed to lose but still disappointing
