Better to be pissed off than Piston (a GDT)
Mavs try to finish strong against a team with nothing to fight for and nothing to lose
Playoff implications on the line for us. It's too late for the Pistons to earn the second most balls in the lottery, but they're only 1 game ahead of the Thunder.
Game starts in 3.5 hours.
Kleber/THJ the only two out for us.
Olynyk, MacGruder, Spence, Bagley, Twollington, Joseph, Grant, and Diallo out for them

Ha, I just about started the GDT with it's a trap. Just gotta treat every game here out as a must in. Let's do it.

That final second we didn’t even get back
No resistance and it’s 100% just unprofessional attitude

Team that is eliminated from even play-in
Down 7 players
Starting big out with fouls
And we still can’t get a lead

Luka missing FT's and settling for bad 3's. This sucks.

That’s the response you want to see from Luka after Detroit brings it to 5.
Asshole Luka is here

Dinwiddie (like Bogut) is finding out refs are biased against Dallas

Luka needs to really start getting everyone involved when they’re surrounding him

I'm telling you, he doesn't take these teams seriously.
Discipline will be his next level.

He has also just been standing around whenever he doesn't have the ball. No movement at all.

HOLY SHIT THAT PASS!
This is why Luka is a basketball god. Even on night when he's generally been sloppy against a bad team, he'll still do something freaking amazing.

The pistons in studio broadcast really said that Cade matched Luka tonight and the Pistons exposed the Mavericks

Still like having Bertans as he can just score in a bundle despite his otherwise terribleness.

I'm glad the Mavs didn't sleepwalk this game.
They got to get that 3rd seed and it seems as if Kidd is going to keep playing guys which I agree with 100%.
They need to use that week off before the playoffs to work on their defensive rotations again because they are getting really sloppy on that end of that of floor.
Offensively my only concerns right now is their FT shooting. I'm afraid in a close playoff game they are going to shoot around 70% as a team which could be tripling.

Also shout out to Green
There was a stat showing his 3-point % was like 40% or something over his last 30+ attempts
It's a small sample because he only takes like 2-3 per game but it does show his improvement from last year.

Replay of the crazy behind the back flip pass laser but it's awesome to see the reaction of the bench lol. Guys with their hands up, Chriss doing the fake flip, Pinson walking around all smiles... hope the guys keep having fun together.

40.6% since the all star break (1.6 attempts)
He was 30% before the break and shooting 0.9

He was great in all facets tonight. His energy level is desperately needed some games. So many hustle plays on rebounds, defense, tips, timely passes and baskets. Really impressive.
