Ferguson with two quick fouls, barely draws iron on an open three and get blown by on the other end by luka. He wasn’t even screened off.

Yeah, Ferguson is awful. At this point I've about decided it'd be a major accomplishment if he ever becomes a semi-serviceable NBA player. He sure as hell shouldn't be starting for an NBA team.

So far, this game is basically us scoring 2-pt FGs and Dallas scoring 3-pt FGs.

It was 25-20 with about 45 seconds to go in the quarter. By the end of the quarter we're losing 34-20.

Just an absolutely horrible final 45-60 seconds.

Doncic and whoever is guarding him:

Dallas pushes their lead to 10-ish, we go on a mini-run to get it under 5...rinse and repeat.

That's been the story of the game so far. That, and we can't make 3s and they can.

How good would this team be with a Joe ingles or even justice Winslow starting at sf

We were up 74-69 with about 3 minutes to go in the 3rd. It's been not good for us since that point.

Down 83-76, now. 14-2 Dallas run over the last 4 minutes of game time.

Yeah, we just need another shooter. This game is so close, but the main difference is that Dallas has more capable 3PT shooters than us.

Who for the Mavs is NOT capable of hitting a 3-pointer? Feels like everyone they put on the floor can shoot.

That’s how other teams build their roster.

So many effin' offensive rebounds for the Mavs. At this point, it feels like they have 50 offensive rebounds.

But hey...we have, like, maybe 3 guys who can sometimes be capable 3PT shooters!

And Dallas' 108th offensive rebound leads to a crucial Dallas three that will likely, ultimately, be the game-clincher.

To this point in the game, we’ve out rebounded them by 6 but it doesn’t feel like it.

Wow we got lucky. Adams doesn’t ever defend his man at the three point line. Who would of thought the game saving defensive play would come from Gallo?

Well, I was wrong. Didn't not see us erasing the 99-92 deficit with 3-ish minutes to go.

Feels like we were kinda lucky. Gave up so many offensive rebounds and, once again, an offensive rebound led to another wide-open Mavs 3 in the final seconds that would've tied the game.

Oh well, a win is a win, and I always enjoy a NYE about as much as any non-playoff win.

That's crazy. I haven't been boxscore following like I normally do.

But, yeah, it feels like we got got badly out-rebounded tonight. Can't believe we out-rebounded them by 7. We even had one more offensive rebound than the Mavs. That's crazy. The "eye-test" wouldn't tell anyone that we had more rebounds, and especially not more offensive rebounds, tonight.

How good would this team be with Iggy? Unlike those other two you mentioned the Thunder have the assets to make it happen without disrupting their core. Go get him.
