[PAOBoston]

Let’s see what happens once the bench/3pt shooting cools off in the 2nd half. Bench finally having a good game for the first time in a while.

Yikes!

[RJ87]

Damon is coaching this game, correct? Has to be cause the team already gave up on Joe.

Lol. TP.

[slamtheking]

first half hot takes:
- C's actually playing defense
- C's shooting at a normal percentage tonight instead of laying bricks.
- Dallas is one of the few teams where the C's have a height advantage and have been able to use it on the boards.
- TOs are still a problem.

second half shooting not so good so far.  chucking 3's and missing badly

[RJ87]

If the refs are going to call ticky-tack fouls, call it on both ends.

[jpotter33]

That's a ridiculous foul call. Completely baited by Wood's flailing. Brown with four now. Refs simply have to be better.

[SCeltic34]

Terrible start to the quarter.  C's fortunate the Mavs missed 2 wide open 3's.  Stop settling for bad shots.

Living by the 3 at the moment.

Also title of thread contained "looks"

JB’s 4th foul wasn’t a foul.  Phantom call.
Bad call.

That's largely on Doncic, who just dominates the ball. Not winning basketball. Even their latest winning streak was against virtually all bottom feeders. They're not a high level team because they're too Luka-centric, and that's why I think his MVP case is weak even with bigger numbers.

[SCeltic34]

3 drives, 3 trips to the free throw line.  That's more like it.

[RJ87]

Nice play by Tatum.

[Silas]

Helluva move by JT with a nice finish.
