Mavs vs Bucks GDT (Let's go get that 3rd seed)
In their last regular season matinee of the season, the Dallas Mavericks travel to the great state of Wisconsin to take on the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday afternoon. The Mavericks are in a pitched battle for home court advantage in the playoffs, moving up and down between the third and fourth seed lately.
The Denver Nuggets and the Utah Jazz are lurking. The Bucks are dealing with their own playoff seeding battle. The Mavericks can’t come into this game flatfooted like they did against the Washington Wizards Friday night. The Bucks are title contenders, unlike the tanking Wizards, and there’s no room for error.

For once, no significant injuries on the opposing team. Giannis, Middleton, Holiday, Lopez are all playing.
Mavs will have to bring their best and may still need a little bit of luck vs the Bucks, but it would be great to get this one to make up for the ugly loss in Washington.

Our inability to hit threes is the story of the season

Allowing 57% from three
And that is why we aren’t the real deal

Teams are not bothered at all by our defense. They know they can get anything so they shoot with confidence

I just think the defensive scheme the Mavs were using just isn't as effective anymore because they don't have any rim protection
They use to play more aggressive on the perimeter defensively because they had better rim protection.
Now without any shot blockers teams can attack with freedom
Powell is like a small ball center he's not going to distract or worry anyone. Got to get Myles Turner this offseason

Lotta reason to be excited for next year if we can trade for Turner or draft a good big
But this isn’t changing this year. It’s a roster problem and no amount of coaching will fix it

Bertans keeps driving and making tough passes to Dwight when he gets bottled up. Needs to just pull-up from the free throw line for a clean look.

Not sure what has happened to Boban this year but it seems like Lopez is just the type of guy he can at least stay on the floor against.

Bertans has to get tougher on the boards
I know it's asking a lot but he has got to box out better and help DFS

Kidd’s rope-a-dope defense
Let them get what they want until they get bored of making open shots
