Post #1 » by **Dirk** » Sun Nov 26, 2023 2:57 pm

First of four meetings against beloved Houston.

Rockets, 8-6. Just destroyed the Nuggets. November 25... so a full four days off.

Mavrelous was in LA.

Defense is hopeless w/o Lively, I hope he's back...

Are the Mavs on a path towards some defensive paint fg% record?

It's a tight race with the Pacers, but unlike the Mavs, they actually run on offense, I watched them get down huge against the Hawks, and comeback and win.

Reminds me all the people asking for Carlisle’s head.
Some even told here that Silas was the good coach…

Carlisle is a top 5 coach in the league. He has always been in that category.

The problem was FO and how it constructed the roster. Against prime Clippers we had no chance with Powell-injured KP-Dfs frontcourt

How was that Luka drive not a foul? Man Luka getting zero respect from the refs.

How is this not a continuation?

Lmao Grant with the missed dunk. He's gotta be up there for worst hops in the NBA.

Grant Williams and Sengun with missed dunks...

Foster already laying ground to eject Luka tonight

Crazy how much impact Lively has as a rookie. Defensively it's obvious but offensively his rim pressure and lob threat opens so much compared to our backups.

Exum making a big impact out there. On both ends. Love his energy right now. Gotta make his damn free throws though. 1/4 for a guard, c'mon.

If Exum could shoot... he would actually be a really valuable role player for any team.

Energy and defense is clearly there. Edit: Tonight

I also like Green in the starting lineup quite a bit more than I expected especially if his demeanor is on like it is right now. DJJ is bigger and we all know size is a problem in the Mavs 2nd unit. Plus Exum and Green are a bit redundant so staggering them doesn’t overlap skills as much.

How was that not a tech on Brooks? Man that "NO WAY" scream was loud.

Post #17 » by **Mavrelous** » Wed Nov 29, 2023 2:11 am

Missed dunks galore

Is Udoka that good a defensive coach? Good grief shooting is off

Wow, Josh Green with his first block in what? Since covid restrictions were lifted?

Post #19 » by **Mavrelous** » Wed Nov 29, 2023 2:20 am

WTF is wrong with these refs????

Foster trying to hard to be the most important person the floor.
