Luka carving us up on a platter.. wtf? Give Mann some minutes on him in the second half. Kawhi cookin', he's gotta go for 30+ every game. PG shot like sh*t, what else is new but he did contribute overall. Morris has to take more shots. Not sure about Pat Bev and Reggie

I agree, I'm surprised they didn't try that.

Tough first half for PG, the one positive has been that he's been attacking and has gotten himself to the line (4 FTA drawn, one was a tech FT).

Morris 0/4 as a primarily catch and shoot guy, that's not going to cut it.

Of course the Mavs are shooting 51/48, so in terms of what the biggest issue is, well defense outside of being able to force some turnovers has been tough. I know Lue is trying to play the percentages with Luka taking off the dribble three's, but it's tough when he's making them (3/6 3PT).

Encouraging only down 5 despite PG's shot struggling but need to step it up 2nd half

Bring in Mann and Luke for a energy spark

I think mann is a better choice because he's defensively responsible. You don't need a big spark, just plug the hole. add some size on Luka.. make him work.

Yeah they're shooting pretty cold but a lot of open shots which is good. Another encouraging stat is only 1 turnover in the 1st half.

Terrence surely deserves some minutes in this game

Both dont come around much anymore.

Feel like I see Matt from time to time but not much.....Ranma never.

And yeah, still in Wisconsin.

Luka is the best player and showing it

we might need to play our way into form after missing games because of the tanking.

They're not being physical with luka at all. They're letting him play pretty boy basketball.
