    Luka is taking 3's that are just as contested as Dame. 6-6 vs 0-5.

    Gotta tip your cap to Luke tonight. Such an advantage to be his size and have his skill set.

    Stotts should switch things up and put in Simons.

    Saying this for years
    Defensively, we actually aren't playing all that badly. The Mavs made some adjustments from last game to better exploit mismatches, and it doesn't look like we were well-prepared for it.

    Offensively, we just phoned this one in. Settling for too many jump shots, not hitting.

    When you play a team like Dallas and they are on, you just have to keep pace and make some plays here and there. When they are on and you aren't making shots, well, games like this happen. Not entirely unexpected, but I feel bad because it would have been nice to overtake the Nuggets ... missed opportunity.

    Doncic is an amazing player for being so young, what is he 22 or something?

    Down 30? This is embarrassing. But then again, Coach Stotts says it's so difficult to win 2 in a row....except for opposing teams in the Playoffs.

    It has to be a mental thing. Nobody can make a shot.
