We need this bad with Utah tomorrow. Reddish, Huerter, Gallinari need to step up.

I’ve watched the Mavs a few times and their chemistry looks bad.  Luka’s style of play may be starting to wear on them and Porzingis can look like a flat out clown on any given play.  When they let Seth walk I was scratching my head, still am.  He and Klieba were the glue-like guys not to mention he could shoot pretty well.

Its a simple equation to me: Hawks are 11th in offensive rating, 10th in defensive rating, and 23rd in 3 point shooting.  The first two numbers combined with a healthy point differential (Hubie always says +6) usually indicate a contender.  The Mavs on the other hand dropped from 1st last season in offensive rating to 20th, 18th in defensive rating, and dead last in 3 point shooting.  Hawks by 7.

 It would be the ultimate if Reddish put the clamps on Doncic tonight!

Let Doncic take all the threes he wants.

I think there is some doubt creeping in the minds of the pundits now whether he is indeed better than Trae!

There's no doubt Trae is a better three-point shooter at any rate.

Ima need Cam to feast tonight.

Refs getting to work early. This is ridiculous.

[Dnice]

Sloppy play 

[NBASupes]

Refs on that bullshit

[GameTime]

Refs moving the momentum 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

OK Bigs, here's what I need you to do.

Set screens for Trae AND make contact with his defender.  If Richardson is going to act like he can smother Trae all night, I need the ball in Trae's hands, and I need you bigs to punish Richardson's ass every time he's trying to smother Trae.

No time to be playing soft tonight, and looking for your own offense.

[RedDawg#8]

Use the challenge LP. Cant let the refs get away with free points 

Cant let the blitz get us out of good offense.

[JeffS17]

Tone set for the game -- not allowed to play defense, soft inside call on Capela, etc.

What momentum? They won't even let them play. They're going to foul Cam and Cap out. I'm calling it now.

[Bonkers]

I would feel much more comfortable about this game if Dre was out there smh
