RS 21/22 - Mavs @ Jazz (Friday. 9PM EST)

[leolozon]

Brunson loses the game on both end. Maxi fails to deliver. The Mavs has no answer to Mitchell. The Mavs allow a corner 3 from Bogdan again in clutch time. And the Mavs lose the game. That's it. The Mavs supporting cast, while inferior to most playoff matchup, has to show up. Otherwise, the Mavs has no chance.

Most of the cast delivered, if Doncic had just an avergae game they would have won.

It takes time to recover feom the trade, Bertans and SD will grow more comfortable, and take all THJ + scrubs minutes, Luka, Maxi and Brunson were due a bad game.
I didn't think this team has HCA chance they should focus on integrating Bertans and Dinwiddie into thier 9 man rotation and keep the 6th seed.
Brunson/Dinwiddie
Luka/Green
Bullock/Bertans
DFS/Maxi
Powell/Maxi

Did they try Green on Mitchell? Seems like he could at least slow him down unlike Brunson or Luka.

Yes, he covered him some of the time, Kidd's defensive scheme allows 3s, there's no way around it.

It's water under hte bridge now, but watching the play where Gobert blocked Doncic, it was a clear foul, NBA officiating report also confirms it.

Yeah Luka said that specific ref don't like him. Since he's complaining a lot all the time, the refs are giving him the Rasheed Wallace treatment as he racks up more techs.

The one before I think was even more egregious. He was fouled two times in a row and it would have changed the game.

I don't mind if it's a mistake, but Luka saying that John Goble don't like him is concerning for the integrity of the game.

I didn't do a big research, but I would be curious to see the stats. I know he was there for the Memphis game in December and Luka just shot 2 FTs.

He was the ref for 5 games this year and the Mavs are -5.6 FTA per 48 in those 5 games.

Last year, they were 7-0 in games he reffed, but they were -2.1 FTA per 48.

2019-2020, they were +4 FTA per 48. Is Goble getting tired of Luka? It's getting worst every year.
