Carlisle with some really poor coaching decisions down the stretch. Leaving Kawhi un-doubled in the 4th when he's just doing whatever he wants is dumb
In fairness, he just did it on that trip and Jackson hit a three instead. Then again on the next possession... dunk for Zubac.
Sometimes the other team is just better than you, no matter which buttons you press. It is what it is.
You're right, but with the way Curry was playing defence he should not have featured that deep into the 4th, given he hasn't been much on offence the last two games.
Ah well, good run for the Mavs given Porzingis was hurt and ejected for nothing
Hopefully the Mavs get a healthy Dwight Powell and Porzingis back for next year's playoffs, and also add to their roster.
Yeah, Powell was an underrated loss for them. Great high-energy big.
They are going to have some serious cap space soon too. Could be very interesting
Theoretically, they can make a push for Giannis next summer. Imagine Luka + Giannis + Porzingis playing for the same team? The Mavs would become the next NBA dynasty!
Fwiw, here's a photo of Porzingis playing streetball with Giannis (and Thanasis) in downtown Athens a few years ago.

Apparently, the 2 of them are good friends. If Giannis decides to leave Milwaukee (which is a big if), the Mavs may be his best option.
