I'm sorry but this is just flat out embarrassing. Dallas sucks ass. And we're giving up 115 points to a team full of scrubs.

Yep, we just lost to the effin 12-25 Mavs for the second time in a month.

This friggin' season....

Where’s hardenasg13 to run his mouth about us turning it around?

Didn’t need to force the three at all. Ugh...

On those three possessions in a row where the Mavs made a three, if they just miss one of them, we win.

I knew after their third straight three was a bank shot we were doomed.

It wouldn't even bother me so much if it wasn't the same nonsense Donovan has pulled for years. Instead of getting us to actually play defense like we give a ****, he inserts bad defenders because we're too lazy to play defense and he thinks they'll at least be able to switch.

That's not coaching, that's just giving in to bad effort by the team. He pulled the same **** with Christon last season when we had trouble with quick guards. Or with Grant against Houston. Just switching everything is not a valid defensive system. That's just asking for trouble because you're putting yourself into terrible situations by being out of defensive position all the time.

Great play calling on those 3s.

I think I'm going to be haunted by Paul George passing to Russ for a three, for a very long time.

Golden State, Houston, SA, and Minnesota are clearly better than us. Best case scenario is we will be fighting Denver for the five seed.

We could trade Russ for rick Carlisle and we would be a better team. That’s not an intentional knock against Russ either. That mavs roster is trash.

See this is what I don't get - playing trash like this does not suddenly mean that we're trash in general. Don't always overreact like that. It's nonsense.

Not too upset. Mavs made flukey shots, despite Russ getting extremely hot. It is, what it is. Move forward.

I didn’t say we were trash. I think we are as good/bad as our record which currently has us at the five seed.

I would like to point two things out:

1) In a game, in which we struggled defensively, all night long, our coach in his general fashion elected to close out the game by putting only a single above average defender out there on the floor. Adams gets subbed out and we give 15 points in 3 minutes to a bottom 10 offense.

2) Paul George took two shots in the 2nd half I think.

Bruh. Dallas is 13 games under .500. They're on pace to finish with 26 wins.

Don't just shrug **** like this off. Dallas is a horrific team in play for a top 5 pick. You don't lose to a team like that.

I’m curious how many possessions in the second half were one pass or less. Anyway to find that information?

If Russ doesn't make his shots, we're getting blown out. Turned corner my ass.

Man this is so frustrating. I'm too furious to go to bed.

Yeah, i get that. They also shot 51 percent from the floor and made 15 threes. It is what it is. No Roberson didn't help either.

'It is what is' is not a valid reason for losing to a trash team. Our attitude was ass and we once again got burned for it.
