At some point, Luca and company have to start making wide open shots.

[Dallas41]

Mavs just refuse to attack the rim

Luka should be posting up

[JTmoney2424]

Brunson 5-14 and Luca 7-22. If any of them are having a good game, this one is over.

[Lestat_1795]

We need some buckets to get momentum.

[Lestat_1795]

That’s what I ordered

[JTmoney2424]

This team needs to killer instinct that the 2010-2011 team had. Dirk and Jet had would of iced these fools by now.

[JTmoney2424]

DFS is this games MVP!!

[Lestat_1795]

3 buckets in a row.

[turin]

Damn, give DFS the game ball. This has got to be the best game of his career!!!

[Scoobay]

Love me some Dodo

[Lestat_1795]

Now keep the foot on the pedal.

don't get too happy with the 3 - keep taking it to the hoop!!!

[Lestat_1795]

A nice alley oop would be great to get the crowd up.

[Lestat_1795]

Now we just need two more buckets and milk the clock.

[Lestat_1795]

Keep it at around 10 points to the 2 minute mark

[Melonhead]

MR HEAT CHECK DORIAN

[bernardos70]

Step on their throat

[Lestat_1795]

I get everything I order.

[Melonhead]

What a dumb challenge

if kidd was going to call timeout anyways might as well challenge
only 4 minutes left so better to use it

i get that they can't tell if brunson hit it from the back but simple understanding of measurement you know his hand/arm/fingers aren't that friggin long

[Lestat_1795]

They outsmarted CP3 for 2 games in a row.
This begins to feel a bit like 2011.

Well, 11 years ago today, Sunday, May 8, 2011, the Mavs hit 20 threes to bounce the Lakers 122-86.

It wasn’t clear and I’d much rather keep it for a foul challenge in case the suns pull close. Something like a charge or an and 1 reversal.

[Scoobay]

how long do they think brunson's fingers are? he doens't have foot long wingspan from his fingers jeez

[Dallas41]

Luka going for the kill shot instead of attacking the rim again

[Lestat_1795]

That’s Game!

[JTmoney2424]

Amazing how Dallas is doing this Lucas outside shooting being abysmal

[Lestat_1795]

Luka keeps his highlights for games 5&6

[Dallas41]

He's got to scale down those 3's

I really like him working out of the low post because the game becomes so easy for him to post up and then kick out to open men if he don't have the shot.

[FreshJive]

Who is Lucas?

Man what a team win.

Luka don’t ever shoot 10 3s in a game again

Agreed. I get heat check but I think he missed 9 in a row at the end. At some point, just realize it’s not your night from the outside and attack.

yes this!
at least when he drives the defense collapses and he can shoot or pass from there

[JTmoney2424]

DFS is this games MVP. Props!

[turin]

What a surprise and what fun. I almost enjoy the sorry state of Chris Paul these 2 games in Dallas as much as the Mav's wins.

[FreshJive]

Nico’s defensive signings (Bullock and DFS) are looking like great moves. Even Frank is giving good minutes on Booker over Green.

[Dallas41]

Kidd said luka is a problem in the post

A few of us have been wanting to see more of that low post action and the Mavs used it more to my surprise.

Phoenix can't handle him down there and that is why I wish they kick Powell of the floor open up the post for Luka to operate and punish the Suns small defenders

I think you’re seeing a preview for a lack of Powell for game 5/6. It’s no surprise that this team looked better once he took a seat. He hardly played in the second half and and Maxi all but took his place then. As much as people thought this Phoenix team was invincible, they can be exposed.
