8 to 22 in the free throw department is all you need to know.

With our schedule ahead. 6th or 7th is more likely than 4th. Fn brutal.

But when push comes to shove, Kleber and DFS are going to let you down when you need them to carry weight. I hope I'm wrong, but Jazz are a likely first round matchup.

At least Bertans and Dinwiddie looked sharp. Feel like they know they have a lot to prove.

Yea. On average DFS and Kleber don't fill you with confidence.

We need to avoid the Jazz at all costs. We just don’t match up well with their physicality and shooting. If we get them first round we’re losing in 5 or 6.

Problem is we’re locked into 4-6

That means we can really only play three teams: Grizz, Jazz, and Nuggets

Grizz probably are our best bet, but that would mean a free fall to 6th

Dinwiddie really is a poor man's Luka. I'm very happy to have him as long as he is healthy. Only 1 turnover so far too.

Sorry Luka you’re never getting a whistle again my guy. Open beef doesn’t work for certain players.

He only has himself to blame if that is true

When your own coaches (Kidd/RC) both tell you that you need to dial it back for 4 years now and you keep acting like the ref's owe you something and belittle them after every single missed call then your not going to be a favorite of any official.

As much as he hates them, I'm sure they hate when they get assigned to officiate a Mavs game because they know for 2-3 hours there's this one guy who going to stare them down all game and and run his mouth.

This is very similar to the Mark Cuban situation when he used to constantly go at the refs and it only hurt the Mavs.

Dirk used to get beat up dude never always continued to play

Kid was 100% right, though. NBA reviewed two plays in the final minute where that ref blew calls that could have changed the outcome of the game.

Luka is just putting words to a huge problem in the NBA.

I'd love to think we're a lock 4-6 but we have a tough slew of games ahead.

Please.

I'm watching the Mavs/Lakers and EVERY ONE of the Lakers is acting like every call should go their way. I watched Westbrook bow up to a ref after his shot was blocked in the 1st half.

If NBA refs were this childish as you make them out to be, then they would be replaced. It is a PLAYERS league.
