Were you rooting for the FT to go in or out?

Portland is favored to win by 10pts.

Hmmmmm if i were in Vegas id bet mavs, i think we lose, hope so anyway, but without cj i dont think I'll be double digits

What's up with Doncic substitution? Left at 6m in the 1st and didn't come back. Then left at 3m30s in the 2nd and probably won't finish the quarter. That's weird.

Did you see how mad he was when Rick pulled him from the game? He continued to argue with some of Mavs coaching staff in the following timeout lol.. Was funny as hell to watch. Then Blazers go on a 7-0 run and inserts him back with 1 min to play. That's next level tanking by Rick

RC makes sure that Mavs don’t have even small chances they normally could have. Blazers made a run after his substitutions in Q1 and Q2. To play 10 players in 9th minute of Q1 is special, if you have roster like Mavs have today.

I just don’t understand why Kostas and Ryan don’t get any chances to play. They for sure cannot be worse than some other players and winning is not exactly a goal anyway.

Lmao these refs are just terrible. Harden would have 15 FTs by now if he was hacked like Luka.

Yeah, I really want to see Kostas play. I guess he must be really bad in practice if they don't even play him on that roster.

Luka and his whining and pouting is getting old, as are his stupid step backs, he has a lot to work on this summer

He was 1/1 for step backs tonight.

Barely 20 years old and his first losing team probably since he’s started playing basketball. Jesus, give the kid a break.

Should I watch the replay? Don't have much free time today, is the game worth it?

Nothing wrong with being emotional. Literally every NBA player gets upset when they aren’t getting calls. Can’t name a single one that doesn’t

There's a difference between being upset and crying like a toddler, he acts like a baby

Or maybe he's competitive and doesnt want to tank like you and RC/Cuban/Nelson just to gift wrap the Hawks the #6 pick. At 20, even he realizes its a moronic strategy, the toddler brain capacity is the FO.

Yeah its a mix of everything really. We all know by now that he is coming from an organization with a pure winning mentality. All of this happening is completely new to him. He probably had no clue before how tanking works or how NBA teams operate on the long run.
Being benched when you are helping your team making a comeback frustrated the hell out of him and it was visible in the 2nd Q. I went to sleep after the 3rd so i have no clue what happened in the 4th or how they crawled back. But i do understand why he is mad and upset. Just hoping Dirk is whispering in his ear and is giving him some good tips. I would also like to see him hitting long open shots again. Everything that went on during the season probably got into his head a bit and messed up his confidence.
