Ugh! I hope that one of PG or Andre can go in this game. I don't want to see Wesley Matthews /Harrison barnes or Devin Harris go off.

I wonder who guards Dirk. I'm guessing Carmelo, but I'm not sure how well that will work out.

I'm sure Billy will put in Huestis/Grant over Patterson in the starting lineup, so the point remains.

He'll just start Abrines or Huestis.

The last two games teams are just picking apart our defense.

And everyone shoots like curry against us.

Melo needs to be reminded of his role.

Our defensive effort has to be better than this.

It's just a joke now. If Abrines is on the floor they just iso on him. Easy buckets.

Hasn't been trying on defense either the last few games.

Our overall defense just gotta be better than this. 14/21 from the field for Dallas.

Alex sucks. Can we sit him down? Permanently.
Edit- maybe he’ll foul out soon.

They call fouls on Abrines like he's a rookie in his 2nd game
