Refuse to watch this lack of interest - time for an ION TV Chicago PD break.
This team needs Sgt. Voight as head coach.

adios!

The Mavs are scoring at a rate of 3 points per minute right now, and I'm fairly sure if that continues the C's will lose. They need to up the defensive intensity.

[Phantom255x]

I know Porzingis and Jaylen usually set the tone in the 1st, but these slow starts from JT are getting annoying. So is the idea that we just hope JT gets hot every 2nd half??

Everyone is playing slow...

Right but isn't Tatum supposed to be an MVP-caliber guy? If he wants to be like that, he can't keep starting like 2-8 shooting and only around 5 points at halftime. He needs to assert himself more and be aggressive.

[Phantom255x]

Game's still winnable if Dallas and Klay just miss some shots. Get it to within 10 by halftime

[SCeltic34]

You shouldn't have to double Klay Thompson. 

[jpotter33]

Why are we doubling Klay off the high PnR? He's not someone you double with the ball in his hands, because he's not someone that's going to do a ton of damage in iso but rather off of screens.

Dumb, dumb strategy that just led to points on consecutive possessions. Just idiotic Joe decision. How about just play better defenders on him and not PP and Hauser?

[blink]

kornett and KP together aren't quick enough, we are getting clocked inside on def

[ozgod]

They?re just winning the shot margin because of our turnovers?they have 19-0 fast break points, 19-26 from 2 because of thst, we are 10-24 shooting from 2 even tho we?re shooting 50% from 3

adios!

adios to you Polyanna

[SCeltic34]

Our defense is amazingly bad.  Soft.

[ozgod]

Just need to stay in striking distance at half time and clean up the interior defense in second half

[jpotter33]

KP - it doesn't matter if you stop the alley oop if you keep giving Dinwiddie WIDE OPEN lanes for a layup, man. Stop the ball first!

[Indocelts]

Brown being abused by whoever he's guarding.

[ozgod]

I hate these two for ones where they just chuck up a wasted shot at least plan for something in practice so that you can executed in game

[Phantom255x]

Still within striking distance but we're definitely not winning if we're just trading baskets
