Game Thread – Mavericks @ Celtics – 7:30PM, Thurs, Feb. 6, 2025

JT has scored only 30 or more points once in the last 10 games

[Ben-N1ce]

This is Klay's highest scoring game of the entire season...5 minutes left in the half

[ConstableGeneva]

One time out of 10???

Meanwhile my eyes tell me cornet and al together or individually suck. Or at least when it comes to actually having a Tina can win it all..

Your eyes lie, numbers don't.

If the numbers were 2 verses 2 sure but there are so many other players at the time that can definitely mislead numbers...

So I'll stick with the obvious.. My eyes

The goal is to outscore the other team. When they outscore the other team by a lot when those two bigs are on the floor, it is working. Plain and simple. I don't care how good those two are individually.

[ConstableGeneva]

Get it below 10 before halftime. Or just show you care. Just a bit lol.

[playa-hater]

Anyone who ever had hope in this team going on a long win streak, it just ain't happening lol. Just a lazy team by nature that can't wait to take their foot off the gas as soon as they're comfortable

I mean we are hardly ever playing a team at their full strength and somehow we struggle. Over and over and over again.

Meanwhile Joe doesn't do anything.. Is lighting the fire against the law now.. Is making a change against the law.. Is breaking his premeditated rotation against the law ??

Oh wait Joe sat out for 1/2 so he definitely Makes good adjustments

[playa-hater]

It would literally be down over 20 points had Derek white not been so hot

[Riverwalk2021]

Porzingis has really poor instincts. No feel for the game. Very robotic in a lot of ways.

[redslastlaugh]

Payton needs to put on the burners and just blow by a guy… like Kyrie, Dinwiddie, Klay Thompson… like please these dudes are sloooo so turn on the jets and blow by!

[ConstableGeneva]

19-0 in fast break points tell you all you need to know. C's came in with zero effort/energy.

[doogie_hauser]

Mavs sure getting a lot of calls going their way

[playa-hater]

Imagine using cornet 10 feet past the 3 point line to double someone???

That is coaching in competence to a level I have never seen before.. Congrats Joe..

[doogie_hauser]

WTF did Kornet do wrong?

[playa-hater]

62% for Dallas.. Yeah the numbers don't lie

[TheMartian]

If this Team is really top 10 in defensive rating right now, the eye test doesn't show it. They won't be down this big in any game if they played a lick of defense.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Porzingis has really poor instincts. No feel for the game. Very robotic in a lot of ways.

His lack of strength in the post is embarrassing

He is unable to outmuscle guards when he gets them

[ConstableGeneva]

Everyone but Derrick White should be ashamed of themselves.

[Bar Fight]

They're literally walking into the paint over and over for layups and floaters lol

[King Of The 4th]

It's a miracle we're only down 11

[Parliament10]

White Hot!!!

Thank Goodness.

[doogie_hauser]

Very good end to the 2nd quarter, happy to only being down 11 despite being very poor for 85 % of game time and go in half time with the momentum.

Could have been a lot worse
