Nice, tied it back up. I think the guys got frustrated and started playing sloppy and out of control. But looks like they've calmed down and are not rushing things.

We would honestly be better off giving Mann a chance than putting Reggie back in.

Reggie has been so much worse since we got to the bubble. I think extending Beverly, PG, Kawhi and Shamet's minutes could cut Reggie out of the rotation completely.

well, if pat didn't pick up that dumb foul, he'd be playing. He doesn't give up baskets even at the risk of a foul.

Pretty sad to say this after those dominant first two minutes, but we're lucky it's this close.

Yup. Only down by 3 with Mavs looking like the Rockets and us looking like a lottery team... Either they fall back to Earth, or we start to wake up...

We need to bpunch them in the mouth in the 3rd. They're not that great all around but they have potent offense.

i kinda had a feeling those early fouls were going to be a problem. i just hope they're not more of one in the second half.

the team needs to really just stop with the silly mistakes. they could have gone up by 20 in the first and not looked back, and now it's gonna be a shootout with one of the most (the most?) efficient offenses ever.

I think dynamic three point shooting is just going to be a reality of the bubble. There are no fans screaming at shooters, these guys aren't thrown off by the travel and a few guys have talked about how the black backdrop behind the basket makes it easier to shoot. I don't think "well they won't keep shooting like this" is going to be an excuse for anyone in these playoffs.
