Beat the Heat. Forever.

We need a good 3points night...

He said he won't get another tech. Which means no arguing with refs and more focus on the game? Now that will be interesting to monitor. Anytime he is really focused his game goes to another level.

Surprising win by the Lakers.

Good night everywhere else.

L - POR SAS MEM

A win tonight would be huge.

Arguing with refs is like FT shooting. "He should be better", but he simply "can't"*. I think "he'll complain", but it won't be bad enough to get another technical.

But you never know... he smiles sarcastically to a ref... and the ref doesn't like it... and gives him a tech.

I'd say it's 55% chance he won't get a technical. And 45% he will.

If he gets the 15th, let's hope it's on a b2b.

*for now. You'd think he'll just steadily improve.

There is a 0% chance Luka goes the rest of the season without getting another tech… but it’s some BS that neither one of the 2 he got in the last game got rescinded.

About tonight’s game… I don’t see any road map to Dallas out rebounding Bam or Achiuwa, especially if Maxi sits again… So as is the case with every Mavs game, they will either live by the 3 or die by the 3. Should know early on.

If green develops his 3 hr csn be an awesome role player he has all the tools u can want defensively

Josh Green turned the flow of the game almost all by himself with his hustle and defense. If he can knock down open 3s, Jrich shouldn't see a single second of playtime anymore.

He's always off on the right. Shouldn't be too hard to adjust. I'm pretty sure that in every corner 3 that I've seen him shoot, the ball drifted right and hit the front of the rim. There must be something off with his release.

Nice "come back" by the Mavs a lot of TOs though. They haven't responded well to the heat pressure in the backcourt.

I was watching Luka's assists cause I hoped he would get to 1500 in the next 2, but it looks like it'll be 3 games. He needs 18. And then he has 5000/1500/1500. Pretty sure he'll be the 2nd fastest to get there (games played).

WTF some incredibly bad TOs by Doncic... 7 TOS, 2/5 from FT...

The last two passes he missed were a couple of feet off.

I hope he doesn't just fall in love with the 3 again. It could get ugly if he gets cold.

Green is making so many smart decisions tonight. What a game.

leolozon · Post #13 » by **leolozon** » Wed May 5, 2021 1:45 am

THJ on fire.

I just don't understand why the Mavs don't give a real chance to Green. How many times would the Mavs have needed his energy and hustle?

Doncic 1/5 in the 3rd after a great first half (1/3 FT).

Green has been fantastic and powell has played really well, the makeup of this team is solid if we replace Richardson with Conley or lowry this summer and figure out something with kp and maxi, we have a chance to be a contender. The bigs are our only major problem

Archx · Post #15 » by **Archx** » Wed May 5, 2021 2:10 am

So i guess you give yourself a chance to win if you don't shoot 17% from the 3pt line

... And at this point i believe KP was just a filler in THJ trade lol.

THJ missed his last 3 or 4 attempts at 3. Could have broken the franchise record for most 3s in a game.

Tied at 10 with Wes Matthews and George McCloud

Hell of a win. Good to see Green get some minutes. The game changed completely when he went in

Post #20 » by **HMFFL** » Wed May 5, 2021 3:07 am

Very good win.
Miami is off this season but still a challenge. Like us, they should have a productive off season.
