Putting the small ball lineup of Hardy, THJ, and Kyrie at the end of the 3rd cost us this game. The advanced stats with those 3 (at the very least any lineup with Hardy and THJ) are atrocious. No idea what Kidd was doing there.

Give it up to Steve kerr. They spent the first 3 quarters pushing pace trying to negate our size advantage (even without lively). He finally figured out in the 4th quarter they could slow it down and rub off hardaway and Luka every time off ball because they're so terribly lazy in order to isolate cp3 on gafford or podsisjsi2ski on gafford. Kidd made zero adjustments - should have brought in Jones for hardaway or told Luka to go under the screen in the paint. Low IQ basketball and Kidd not doing anything to help is so frustrating to watch.

Hardy and THj are unplayable together. Exum, or preferably Jones, should have played much more.

It was pretty clear how bad they missed Lively with the second unit. Powell is usually serviceable in short bursts but at this point it isn’t fair to put him in spot duty at center.

You may be right.  I suspect the same will be true with another loss.  

This team actually has been good at taking care of teams that are below .500. I suspect they'll bounce back against ATL and then get another shot at the Warriors who will also be on a B2B.

As always, I hope for the best while emotionally preparing for the worst.

Holy hell Draymond is the cheapest motherfucker in the history of the league. Can't believe I used to like that piece of shit. 

Dude has his arm around Gafford’s neck on a rebound and the refs just choose to be blind to it. 

Pelicans and Kings both lose. So a loss tonight is not the end of the world. Would be really awesome to steal one though.

Tim Hardaway Jr sucks. So worn out watching him play on both ends of the court. 

I just don’t understand why he cannot shoot for this extended period of time. He’s always been streaky, but damn, this is painful. Maybe they’ll let him work his way out of it during some meaningless games the last week. I still feel like he can get hot and win us a game.

So now that the Mavs have the tie breaker over NO, they’re basically locked in to a top 6 seed barring the worst collapse of all time. Mavs can pick their preferred 1st round matchup IMO. If they want to rest Luka 1-2 games, I don’t think that’s a bad decision.

Damn this team is fun to watch on D. 


Said no one six weeks ago. What an incredible turnaround. It's fortuitous the NBA told the refs to swallow their whistles after the ASB right when we picked up gaff and PJ but our entire team to a man has levelled up from the addition of these two players.

The ref crew was bad for both sides. I cringe every time I see that girl ref, she's one of the worst in the league and she made 4 terrible no calls/calls tonight. Even my wife who only watches a few games every year noticed without me saying anything.
