Where is the 2nd guy helping when the ball gets into the paint?
We that concerned with the corner shooting we're trying to defend the paint with one person only?

Luka and Kyrie can't buy a basket in the third quarter. Gafford is carrying them. 4th quarter one point lead.

NAW's stock has fallen off a major cliff

I just hope his ankle is okay.

Rudy's been pretty good. Naz has been great. Towns needs to show up in this 4th.

The Mavs have packed the paint but we should still be able to get something going. Even if its just drawing a double and passing out. They have done a great job shutting down Ant's drives too.

Somehow, we are still in this game.

We've got one more quarter to show why we are a championship caliber team and not a bunch of bums.
Let's bring it in the 4th!

Mike and KAT coming in fresh let's go build a double digit lead before Ant checks back in!

Ant will probably rest the first 3-4 minutes of the fourth. If we can keep it even during that time, I like our chances. Got to blitz their pick and roll. It’s not Rudy’s strength but when either Kyrie or Luka get the defender on their back it’s really really tough, even with Rudy back there.

As badly as we are playing we are still in it and leading by 1. This is not a worst case scenario game in terms of our play, but it is far below our average. To still be in it going to the fourth is a good sign.

We'd be down 15 if their shooting was normalized.

Think Calinks said we'd have a hangover game from the Nuggets. I see it.

Just poor execution on defense mostly.

Late call though???

Kinda feels like they are over thinking on both ends of the floor. Instead of just playing naturally they are locking themselves up and not playing to their standard. Hopefully the 4th quarter will see them get right
in the head and they'll pull off a win.

There was no foul there.

What the hell is this challenge

jpatrick · Post #158 » by **jpatrick** » Thu May 23, 2024 2:28 am

Eeeck. I’m not sure I like this challenge. Way too it could go either way to risk your challenge.

It would mean a lot to me as a huge Jaden fan for him to get to 30 tonight. I have believed in him for years and I am so damn proud of him this postseason.
