Too many 3point attempts in a row...try getting them in foul trouble

Grant, Green, and Luka miss about 5 3s in a row. We’ve gotta get in the paint.

Kidd still had 4 TO's but was just watching lead slowly go away. Interesting choice.

Lmao, you can't touch Dame or Giannis but on the other end refs just close their eyes, ok then.

Mavs 100% must trade for a big. Taller teams have given them problems this year. Toronto, New Orleans, and Milwaukee. They’re simply too small when some of these teams go ultra big.
They either must trade for a big or Kidd must realize that putting Powell or Holmes next to Lively is an option.

Role players didn't hit their shots in the 4th and Bucks got a lot of ticky tack fouls go in their favor. This could have easily gone our way if 1 or 2 of those 3s went in. No shame in this loss.

Unfortunately Mavs missed a ton of open 3's in the 4th Q. Also, Kidd made sure THJ went completely cold with his weird sub patterns. Him and Kyrie were cooking early in the 4th.

Basically if Lively wasn’t in foul trouble or if we had another comparable big. That would have been the difference.
These guys towering over Powell made him absolutely invisible .

Giannis absolutely dominated this game and he only shot five free throws. I don’t blame the refs. Dallas had a double digit league and continued to shoot threes. It’s the same problem that has plagued this team for four years now. They don’t have anyone that can create offense in the post. Lively has been great but he’s mostly a lob threat. They don’t have a big on this team that bangs down low and can post people up.

There was insane amount of ticky tacky fouls on Lively. Mavs had 10 FTA, same amount as Dame alone, to a total of 20 FTA of Bucks.

Did the refs make someone foul Dame while he was attempting a three? At least three of his free throws came from that and I believe he shot a tech free throw too. This was actually a low free throw shooting game for the Bucks. It’s not uncommon to see Giannis shoot 15 free throws in a game by himself.
It’s like a said earlier, Dallas has players who are scared to shoot under the rim and they fall in love with the three. Kyrie is the only slasher that plays off of Luka well. It’s mostly just a team of jump shooters and they’re not going to get free throws with that play style.

That 3 could have been challenged. Was a 50/50 call. Kyrie moved his arm before Dame released the ball. Dame also bumped his own guy setting a screen for him which shifted his momentum into Kyrie.
Doesn't matter if it was a low FT game we all watched the game. But refs were not the main issue anyway. I just said what everyone saw.
