unfortunate for Lukai. Houston role players made every big shot, Dallas role players missed every big on

Kleber is the last guy I would trust to make a big shot.

Maxi, he used to be a 3 & D guy. He doesn't really play D as well anymore or hit 3's. Not sure what his purpose is.

Kleber has always been bad

Ah well, I knew as soon as Kleber checked back in with 3 minutes left the Mavs were going to lose, even despite Kyrie & Luka's ridiculous shot-making. Mavs desperately miss Lively.

Luka/Kyrie 77 points
Rest of team 49 points

But mainly, the defense let us down today.

That’s quite literally the only time I’ve ever seen him hit a big shot and that’s why that loss stuck with me more than the others.

I'm not sure how they could have defended better on most of Rockets's buckets in the 4th quarter.
