Does Luka look right to ya'll? I can't really tell. He's not having trouble getting to where he wants to go on the floor, but he's not shooting with as much confidence as he normally does and his shot doesn't have that same zip it usually does. Actually on the first missed free throw, I thought his shot looked good it just hit the back of the iron...

KP looks like he's shooting with confidence. Would like to see him get some more touches...

If all else fails, how about more Boban?!

Luka has been dealing with a neck strain (cervical strain). Have you not been watching the games?

THJ can't even guard slow Rondo. That's a huge problem.

Damn, Clippers look good. They are hitting everything and everything looks hard for the Mavs. To win this game the Mavs need to get hot from 3.

Correct. I'm asking do you think it's effecting him on the court or do you think he's just missing shots?

I have my opinion. Just seeing what everyone else thinks.

Clippers smell blood. Game three was a revolution for them because they got down big and figured out they can score anywhere on the floor against this team.

Yes, it's a big issue.

Very disappointing game so far. While Luka is hurting none of his teammates are providing any significant production.

DFS is just 1-10 from 3 since game 2

DFS is just bad. He is useless if he is not hitting threes. And his defense is average at best. Mavs need an upgrade on his position, he cant start for a serious team.

KP, Brunson & Boban have played well... others have been borderline. THJ, Maxi, J Rich... we need more from DFS & WCS

The hot takes after 2 games were pretty funny. It seems like some people don't understand the concept of variance and that you can't shoot 50% from 3 in every game. If Dallas were shooting 50% in this game, they would be right in it... but that's not sustainable. You had to take that into consideration after the 2 first games.

The Clippers are simply getting better looks.

I agree. On a title contending team, DFS is a second unit player. Somewhere in that 8 to 10 range on your list of minutes.

Game 5 was the game that killed any hope the Mavs had last year, it's the game where the Clippers declared dominance, this one looks like it's this year's game 5.

I think the biggest issue the Mavs are going to have to address in the off season is constructing a team that is better balanced on an individual talent level. THJ provides offense but no defense. Maxi provides defense but can only hit three pointers. Porzingis is giving them very little of defense or offense. DFS provides defense but no offense. In the modern NBA, teams cannot field line ups where players are completely deficient in one or the other. The Clippers are attacking certain Mavs players on offense and on defense they’re laying off of certain Mavs players entirely. You’re not going to win when teams can cherry pick like that.
