    That would require the awareness to give the opponent credit.
    I mean, it's only the likely MVP for crissakes.

    You just posted you're not sure what role Simons should have going forward.

    Talk about reactionary.

    Three consecutive three-pointers killed us. Go blazers!

    What do you think his role should be? Making a statement like that doesn't mean it's reactionary.

    Kind of thought they could have used Nurk?

    I think we win this with Nurk and Winslow but whatever. Ant needs to watch the 4th quarter on repeat this should be an learning experience for him. This is going to happen to him over and over especially against good teams. Get hunted off the floor.

    If they were contested threes you would be right but they were wide open threes and that's a problem

    Simons exposed defense cost us the game

    this is called getting played off the floor. He’s gotta figure out how to give a bit more resistance or in the playoffs they can’t afford to have him on the floor.

    I was just hoping for some Dame time at the end. Oh well.

    Some bad passes by our guards.
    Grant could have been the one to win it for us.

    As much as Simons can watch tapes you can't teach size or wingspan

    Simons is undersized for the 2 spot and always will be

    No one is asking him to stop Luka. He needs to just not be automatic food to the point they bring a double immediately. Dame was on Doncic a few possessions this game and was a lot better.

    You do realize that is 100% of Dallas' game, right?
    When they're on, they got a bunch of guys who can shoot.
    I do agree that GPII is gonna be there for these moments, so like Hurd just said, "it's all fixable".

    Funny that people criticizing Ant’s defense on Luka. Luka is arguably the best player in the league right now and has 5o lbs on Ant. It wasn’t like Ant was letting Luka blow by him or missing rotations. He was checking a player that has started the season absolutely on fire.

    Two were 50/50 rebounds that found an open man. Not like the defense just shut down.

    If it's not Luka is Booker, Edward's, Klay.... There's tons of big 2 guards who will expose him in a playoffs matchup knowing his weaknesses
