A bad organization lets need dictate their decision making. A good organization makes decisions that benefit themselves. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul. Ya know?

You know if a deal is a good deal or not. Do a good deal. If there isn't one to be had, then that need is just going to have go unanswered this year.

The summer FA period is another opportunity.


The Mavs have no lob threat now and the rest of the bigs are getting pushed around and out rebounded. The Mavs have basically two European bigs that can’t play inside and rely on outside buckets. This team has no inside presence. And that’s not me being unfair to Porzingis and Kleiber. That’s just their game. And free agency has NEVER been the answer for the Mavs. They have constantly struck out even when they had prime Dirk.

It’s not like losing Anthony Davis, but Powell is great at what he does.


You're only stating the need. It doesn't mean you have to pay $1 for a 50 cent return. What's smart about doing that?

Boban gets subbed for the 2nd free throw attempt & he keeps Kawhi off the glass for that rebound. Thank You RC!!!!

I could not disagree more. Geez dude. His first game back. I saw at least 3 plays where he blocked a shot and/or got a defensive rebound where the previous 2 weeks those would of been 2 points for the opponent.

He looked fine to me. His shot wasn't dropping, maybe to be expected when you don't play for 10 games.

KP was the worst player on the floor, it's true. What was most disappointing for me was how weak he looked on the defensive glass. He couldn't hold on to rebounds that literally fell into his hands. That was terrible, absolutely terrible. I think having Justin Jackson there would be better.

Need that 2nd guy to step up - tonight no one did.

With Powell out for the season(?) - we have to trade for a center.

Luka scored 11 points in 7 minutes of last Q, second best Mavs scorer was THJ with 13 points in entire game.

Because they always sleep walk the 1st half and have to fight back in the 2nd. LAC got away with a ton of contact and some very dubious calls went in their way. Also KP 4/17 FG without a single post up play, THJ 4/13. Just wasn't their night i guess. And why did they let Kawhi always get to his sweet spot close to the rim, just not a lot of effort in this game.

He got garbage stuff, only 3 of those points meant anything, he choked away free throws played crap defense and turned it over

27-16. What did you expect before the season, 35-8 and a 1st seed?

Tough loss today but still a season over expectation this far. But i agree they gotta do better closing out games.

What garbage stuff? they had open 3 to tie the game 20 seconds before the end. You’re not winning many games, if your second best scorer has 13 points.

I didn't even realize that second best scorer had 13 points till now. And it was almost Boban!

Mavs have got to get a reliable second scorer. Walker could have been that guy. Porzingis definitely isn’t that guy. Hardaway isn’t terrible but he’s too streaky to be that second scoring option.
