Really? I thought you guys were high on Poeltl. Unless the idea is to play them together?

We are, but as great as Jakob is defensively, and efficient on O within a closer distance, his woeful FTs and inability to space the floor on O are things we keep having to work around. Sometimes Pop would sub him out to avoid hack-a-Jak, sometimes he'd purposefully keep him in to go through the pressure. It's something we have to live with. And another twin tower scenario isn't a bad idea.

Yeah makes sense. I also remember Ayton was being compared to David Robinson at the time of the draft so I definitely see the intrigue for the Spurs lol

Luka can’t start these post ups all the way at the 3 point line. Defeats the purpose

Ayton is so dumb. Talk about court unawareness. And so soft he doesn't even look to dunk.

Not a hostile act on Booker or is Kleber just not important enough for the review? Lol

What's Deandre thinking? Pretty unbelievable they didn't score there. Have tried to be fair, but I'm with people who say bro just needs to mix it up and dunk on someone I swear.

If no one continue with Luka is going to be difficult for Dallas. Bullock and Kleber are off. Booker is understanding perfect the Dallas defense those need to adjust a little bit better

It’s so weird how role players can’t function on the road in the NBA.

Wonder why that is

It's like:

Go to the f'n front of the rim and look to tear it off the backboard.

Even old @ss Horford was looking to do that against Giannis.

You got Maxi Kleiber and Bertans on you.

Good God.

Why didn't Dinwiddie go for a 2 for 1 instead of going slowly just to take a bad shot?

The Mavs are going to lose badly in the 2nd half if their offense is just Luka isolations.

The Suns are going back to the game 2 plan to let Luka isolate and cover the role players. He has 16 shots, that's 9 more than the 2nd guy Brunson. What's keeping the Mavs in the game is that they're not turning the ball over and they're hitting 3s.

Lol, he's such an efficient finisher inside, who cares about dunking. How many times does Jokic dunk? Court awareness though, yes, that's not a strength of his.

The play was bad though
