    Completely agree with your statement.

    The "sad" part is that NO views CJ as a cornerstone of the franchise... who is getting outplayed by a 2nd round pick.

    I'd like to see Stotts just come out with GT in the 3rd here. But I know he's not, and we're probably losing the lead within 4 minutes.

    Big time first half, we just gotta take this one home. Stay in front of PHX and SA, then get that last win against the Nets but one thing at a time... come up big in this third quarter.

    Is it in Zach's contract he has to foul on at least one three point attempt per game?

    Carlisle threw 3 different looks to defend Dame and none worked... can’t wait to see no defensive changes at the half from Carlisle...

    Can't lose the intensity we brought at the end of 1 and a lot of the 2nd. Dame is gonna keep attacking, we all know that.

    The fact that the refs only blew the whistle on the Mavs 6 times is bullshit.

    Dallas has no answer for the Dame/Nurk PnR. I hope the Blazers are smart enough to ride that play until the Mavs adjust

    and I hope CJ doesn't decide he needs to shoot himself out of his slump

    I actually think they are going to try to take him away and he is going to punish them for a little bit with great passing.

    Now the question is how are we going to avoid the 3rd quarter crash?

    I don't know about the NBA but the refs are never giving us respect, it's crazy.

    EVERYONE sees Hardaway run into Trent there at the end. Even fell on the floor as proof that he hit his head. I wonder what he might have hit his head on? Couldn't have been our player shooting a 3.

    I tracked every possession in that second quarter that was initiated by CJ. Even the ones that ended in good attempts didn't go in. I don't think there was one successful possession. And the only time CJ scored was off penetration by Dame.
