    Out 61 shots the starter shot Dame and CJ took 40 of them. The reason we will never go anywhere due to these 2 guards. Yes Dame got hot in the 3rd but the rest game he didn't shoot well. CJ does want CJ does he going to shoot no matter how bad he is shooting. They deserve this lost.

    They got like twice as many foul calls as we did. And then you add those two calls at the end. Totally decide the game. But Terry's coaching put them in that position any way.

    That one miss was in crunch time when Dallas was making its move. He hits that shot, we win. Same thing in the Miami loss. Missed the big 3s.

    There you go.

    I'm so glad that our GM drafted guys who can contribute immediately, instead of a bunch of projects......

    OH WAIT......

    Curry is actually a much, much defender than CJ and actually passes the ball. So yes, Curry would have been better than CJ.

    Refs were bad but coaching was worse. We became stagnant on offense again.

    There's no reason in hell Nurk should have only ended up with 11 shots when he made 9 of them. We needed to milk that match-up and we didn't. That's low IQ basketball. Same with Layman and Hood. They will need more shots to be effective.

    Nurkic was fouled and they called a jump ball, and the ref threw it towards Luka so the Mavs could get it. No call in Dame getting fouled at the basket. How can we win if the other team is allowed to beat the shit out of us.

    I understand they’re good at home and the Blazers are mediocre to bad on the road. If they have post season aspirations they need to beat the teams below them in the standings. Period.

    I watched again. The defender was straight up. He was moving forward a little though. Unfortunately that's generally a no call if the defenders hands are straight up like they were. I see what you're saying now though.

    YES, this is isn't the same team. They traded away their entire team that went 20-8!!!

    He had his run at the start of the fourth and couldn't do anything. The whole team contributed to the 10min no bucket streak.

    It’s the same problem it’s always been. Stotts only trusts two players offensively. We’re gonna get smoked in the playoffs again because of it.

    Apparently you didn't watch the game then, because Collins was called for a foul on the same play TWICE.

    Due to we can't win on the road very often and more probably we loss these next 2. We could be in trouble this 2nd part of this season. Hell we might take a big floor and miss the playoffs.

    He also brought his hand down at the end and raked Dame's arm as he was flinging up that wild shot.
