Ntilikina is offering great help so far.

Luka was injured in 4th quarter last game.

Nah, he's tired. Watching him long enough to recognize his body language and how he shoots the ball when he's rested or tired. He's very slow when he tries to drive to the rim aswell.

I don't get why Kidd went back to Frank. It never worked in this series. He's so pig headed, just like starting Powell. (Frank did hit two 3s, but it's not sustainable.)

Luka has a bad attitude out there. Maybe he should do some yoga after doing cardio this summer.

Because both Luka and Brunson do not look good offensively, maybe. A stopper is needed. Ntilikina is playing well on both ends overall, comparing with Bullock.

Luka is tired but most of all he's frustrated from the non-calls. I think he has a point on a lot of it but he can't let it affect even his defense which it clearly has. Right now, it looks like he quit. The start of this 3rd quarter is going to show a lot of where he is mentally.

That's true. But coach has to adjust. Otherwise, rhythm and confidence are all gone.

Lmao Powell can't grab rebounds. Had both hands on the ball and it just went through him..

The corner 3s from everyone is needed to resolve crowded paint defense.

Darren · Post #48 » by **Darren** » Fri May 27, 2022 2:22 am

The Mavs really needs to get better paint defense and rebounding as well as shooting consistency from 3 and foul line.

Man Luka can't buy a basket. Nice move but couldn't even finish that layup.

Kidd's incompetence is on full display subbing Powell back for a blowout.

Darren · Post #51 » by **Darren** » Fri May 27, 2022 2:24 am

Find someone cutting the backdoor.

Maverick41 · Post #52 » by **Maverick41** » Fri May 27, 2022 2:29 am

Finally a shot drops for Luka.

Maverick41 · Post #53 » by **Maverick41** » Fri May 27, 2022 2:44 am

16 point game. This is still possible.

Got to get rid of Powell in the off season but I doubt we get anything offered for him. We just need to trade or sign a center that is a real center with some game on both ends of the court who can stop the other team from getting easy baskets around the rim. I would hope we do snag a few centers in the draft and maybe undrafted as well.

Nice third quarter. We are not dead yet.

SOUNDCHASER · Post #56 » by **SOUNDCHASER** » Fri May 27, 2022 2:47 am

well well well.

Only 10.

Still a big hill to climb but they got a chance

Why do we even start Powell? He is unplayable in the post season.

Maverick41 · Post #59 » by **Maverick41** » Fri May 27, 2022 2:50 am

Helluva close to that quarter! I'm happy to see the fight in Luka.

Maverick41 · Post #60 » by **Maverick41** » Fri May 27, 2022 2:53 am

Luka's still in the game to start the 4th. Usually this is his rest time so we got to worry again about his energy.
