at least a couple guys making some dumb moves for sure. that early PG T was so unnecessary. went downhill from there. lots of really bad mistakes.

the team looks disjointed and bad.

Mavs have been playing perfectly, we've been playing like trash. Nothing but isos and contested shots. On the other end, we they get wide open 3 after wide open 3.

man I was stoked with how we started but this is just looking like it's gonna be a pretty bad loss for us.
We are down 30 points in the last 13minute of gameplay

we got cocky with that first quarter run then we subbed in the bench all which played horrible.

This looks exactly like Lob City, and how Ballmer didn't expect this when he kept the same Lob City coach is beyond me.

my concern was that there were too many new additions/moving parts and not enough games to get them all in sync.

it really hurt the team with that and some of the key guys being out because of quarantine. like i think we'll win the series pretty easily, but honestly the team would be better off with a full 7 game series to grow together.

No you wouldn't. Stop it. 7game series is not good for the first round :lol:

Kawhi is the steady hand.

Thank you. Also, thank you zu.

One thing this team and Lob City have in common which I can't stand is the constant bitching about the officiating, although Kawhi doesn't really do it.

Slowly clawing our way back. We need to keep the momentum going.

They'll get it together. Toronto bitched a lot to til kawhi told them to shut up and play ball.

2nd unit needs to work Trezz in, that's why the numbers are bad
this is still just the early rounds of the boxing match, Doc playing the combinations for later in the playoffs, some for the first time

Clips closed it to 5 already
Kawhi never busts ass in the first half
just keep it close

Kawhi is so good

MartinToVaught · Post #38 » by **MartinToVaught** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:12 am

The Morris trade is looking really good now. Hope he can keep this up.

NippySudz · Post #39 » by **NippySudz** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:13 am

Nice, we're tied. We need to find something for these reggie minutes if he continues stinking.

NippySudz · Post #40 » by **NippySudz** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:14 am

Kawhi is the difference between lob city and this team btw if you haven't noticed. Steady, composed. Doesn't get rattled. Just balls.
