I'd say it's more the Mavs size inside that is killing them (like many other teams facing that Mavs team)....that and Kyrie of course


100% I’m just talking this last couple possessions. Kings might have been better off forcing the Mavs to run the usual isos instead of doubling.

But we needed this win to separate ourselves a little

Kings miss their 6-8 players + a starter in Huerter. Still made it close.

Mavs ground it out. They're the top clutch team in the league.

Mavs being a defensive squad now is wild. Good luck to the West

What happened to Monk?


Hurt his knee in the first quarter like a minute into being on the floor.

There's so many guys in the nba who would not take that Exum 3 after missing 2 wide open ones in a row.

2 games in Sacramento, both W's. That's impressive.

Incredible 4th quarter by Kyrie and Dallas. They really needed these two games against Sacramento.

Best Mavs player for me in the last few weeks ahead of Luka.

Not having Monk to close did hurt but we still should have closed that game out. No idea why the ball was in HB's hands so much down the stretch, let alone his purpose on the floor.

He cost Sac the Warriors series with that bone head play before missing the three.

He just cost Sac a chance to avoid the play in.

I’m done with him.

Grinding close games are what other teams need to avoid playing against Mavs.

Yes. This is true.

Esp if they get KAT back.
