Based in this game they should only keep Luka, Powell, and DFS.

Powell atleast brings some effort.

16 points. Depends if we get first quarter mavs or 2nd quarter. Dont think it will happen, but they have collected pretty many fouls on ingles and gobert. But cant understand how j can come iut with so little energy in first. If u get your ass whopped u expect to come out and be ready to kill. I wojldnt have minded a flagrant 2 on someone in that first ti wake em up

At this point, I'd let THJ and Richardson walk to sign Oladipo.

I give him full credit for getting the defense going. Big change when he came in. He doesn't look individually good, but I think he made the team defense work.

I'm not even mad at KP, more mad at RC for simply not changing things up that clearly don't work. We employ a guy called Boban don't we?

At this point, I think I want Porzingis to foul out. Can't be worst for the team.

Absurdly bad coaching more than just failing players

Looking at the bright side, the Jazz are +30pts on 3s. So if we didn't count 3s, the Mavs would be winning!!! Go Mavs!

Are we just unlucky that all our guys got 3 weeks in thr safety protocol and kawhi/pg got 2 games? Considering rules and the tight schedule, should it even be possible to inly be out 2 or is it some shady stuff going on?

I'm not sure what RC thinks really, KP was eaten alive by Gobert the last game, and he continues with the same lineup, puttinh him in the same position again, you're losing with this matchup, you may be losing in other ones, but at least you won't make your recovering max player more miserable when he needs to find his groove.

Looking at all things and the way they're playing it appears they pretty much all had somewhat serious cases of Covid.

The thing i find suspect is Cuban or Donnie still pushed through with games and didnt opt to suspend and reschedule. Morey had this with the Sixers with Ben Embiid, Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris being out at some points in the season. Morey opted to just reschedule games so it wouldnt affect their record. Now they're like the best in the East.

For us we're below .500. Seems to me Donnie lacks the foresight for these things. Morey schools him every single time.

0 Minutes for Bobi again, the only guy on the roster who can at least physically keep Gobert occupied.

Now we're down a million points and we're giving minutes to **** James the turnover machine Johnson instead of developing our rookies.

Multiple games this year that the Mavs have looked unprepared.

Badly unprepared. Like KhalilS said above, we literally failed at the exact same things 48h ago and there's 0 adjustments? Is this a joke?

I dont get why James Johnson plays heavy minutes this year. He was a salary dump for Delon Wright and marketed as Luka's bodyguard for one year. He's always been meant to be released this summer. What is RC developing him for?

I've had mild COVID, didn't need hospitalization, but I was basically crippled for 1 week and resting for another, and the following 2 weeks I wasn't at 50% of my physical ability, if it hits you it recks your body, it'll take time.

Bobi sucks. Can't move, can't score consistently, can't defend. In fact every one of the bigs outside of maybe Maxi sucks.

If I were to take a guess, I'd charge it to the psychological impact of the covid virus being present in the Mavs practice facility. Being there and knowing that 4 of the players got it, normally you'd want to just step out of the room. Also, Carlisle doesnt lead the practice. He delegates those to the assistant coaches etc. It also doesnt help that Silas, our former lead assistant, went to Houston. This is just a mash up of problems layered on top of another. The team is a mess now.
