Pre Game
Foolish to pretend there isn’t a huge pall hanging over this playoffs now for our Mavs. They better not rush Luka back. Rather get swept than have him suffer something more significant.
I don’t even know how to properly get ready for a 10am game lol I’m definitely not drinking this early. Coffee will have to do
Green and Kleber will have to make shots for us to have any shot. We won´t be able to sustain that defense for four quarters. There will be a Jazz 33-35pt quarter in every game and then the whole team has to step up. Those two specifically will be wide open all series.
I've always enjoyed watching Bojan Bogdanović and he can be a problem.
Just hope we have have our best efforts on team defense and team rebounding, together with normal 3 point shooting performance, then we still have a chance. The least thing I want that is to see an ugly loss to UTAH, than make our players completely lose confidence, while boost UTAH side's confidence, and force Luka to return sooner than expected, ultimately making his injury worse.
Playoff basketball... We meet again my cruel old friend
Predictions:
Dinwiddie 30-piece
Powell makes Gobert cry
Brunson gets double digit dimes
Maxi finds his shot
MAVS WIN
All ESPN commentators picked Utah in 6. Perfect. Reminds me of 2011.
The Jazz shoot an obnoxious number of 3s. This could be over soon if they’re hitting. It could also be over soon if they’re not. Thanks for reading my deep sports analysis.
1st Half
Bog is wrecking Brunson and Dinwiddie is struggling with fouls and scoring
Without Luka, both guys have to step up
Snyder looks like he’s been drinking
Other than Bog, the Jazz are shooting 25% (3-12)
Bogs is shooting 80%
Killed on the board
Green and Kleber just can’t shoot. No matter how wide open they are.
Jazz playing dirty
Crowd is completely dead. No energy at all
JESUS DID NOT DIE AND COMEBACK FOR THIS FREETHROW SHOOTING PERFORMANCE GOOD GOD
One thing I noticed about this game is that Dinwiddie and Brunson expend so much energy to get done what they need to get done. Whereas, Luka barely uses any energy when he's out there.
I can't explain it, but Mitchell is the worst good player I have ever seen.
Gobert could punch someone and they commentary would be “what a great defensive play.”
Offensive Rebounds just totally killing us.
Utah is the ****ing luckiest team in the league what a joke
About as best as a first quarter as you’d want from non Luka Mavs.
Bojan dominating and the Mavs aren't making him work on defense. He basically gets to rest guarding whoever is the spot-up shooter. Find him and attack him on defense
Guys not named Bogan are shooting 22%
Gobert wrecking is with 8 boards
Kleber has got to box out
Bertans might have to make 7 threes to be even considered a net neutral player
They just attack him, free points
Gobert gonna foul our whole team out
Stop letting Gobert dominate the pick and roll wtf
Missing too many open 3s. Gonna need to knock most of these down here soon. Jazz aren’t going to shoot this poorly all game.
Wish there was a blueprint for getting Gobert in foul trouble.
Jazz can’t hit a 3 if their life depended on it.
Here come the Jazz
Bog destroying us
Rudy getting every rebound
OMG Josh... You have to make that Wide open 3s
Mitchell has been complete trash
About as bad a half Jazz could have and they’re leading.
Can’t believe how many people think Mavs can win the series or games without Luka. Mitchell 2 points at half and Mavs are losing….. bad
Get Bertans in for God sake, they are suffocating the paint
Honestly hate playing against Clarkson
Scariest thing is Mitchell isn’t doing anything and we are still down. No capitalizing on their misses.
Stop letting Bogdanovic look like Steph curry.
We are just asking too much of Jalen and Brunson to create every shot on their own. Run shooters off of screens and use some ball movement for some open looks.
Yish, Jazz are leading despite Mitchell being completly off and the Jazz only hitting 2 3s... I hope the Mavs are better offensively in the 2nd half. So far, it's a rough game for both teams.
Spida playing like *** and we still behind. We arent winning without Luka.
Can’t complain with Mitchell going 1 for 8. Bogdanovic should not have 20 pts at the half.
Dude we play so scared of Rudy. Make him actually make the block. Instead of backing down. He will foul
Gobert has been shutting us down at the rim all game
what's with letting bojan get all these blow-by layups? that's like the third one, man's looking like derrick rose out there with all these drives and finishes
Has bojan always been this skilled offensively?
Mitchell has 2 points and we're still losing. This is doomed if he gets going
2nd Half
Mitchell isnt gonna be silent for the whole game and they’re gonna hit their open threes. A lot has to change on defense
Could be a hell of a lot worse
If Bogs cools down and we can keep Mitchell quiet, we have a chance
Dinwiddie, Brunson and DFS doing their part
Mavs are getting next to nothing from our bigs mainly Kleber.
If he's not going to make shots or play defense might as well got with Bertans at center
All the first quarter fun has evaporated. Every play is a struggle now
Their superstar starts to play, our is out. Damn.
Kidd has to figure out at some point that Jazz are absolutely cooking Bertans entire game. They have to be aware of that and help him out if he wants to keep using him on offense.
Can’t ****ing win with **** refs every ****ing game
The offense is reaching Carlisle levels of stagnant
We are so lucky the jazz are missing shots because this offense is disgusting right now
This lucky idiot makes a banked three
Refs making Mitchell a thing
It might be a bad idea, but I’d like to see us test Gobert on some of these drives instead of always going back out when we see him
Green is god awful shooting. The Jazz are literally daring him to shoot.
Say what you want but defense is solid. We are losing on the boards We need to get a big
Why are we putting Bertans on Mitchell Let that dude defend Whiteside I understand switches but man the Jazz are hunting for Bertans on defense
Jazz lucky bounces going crazy. That shot plus the Mitchell bank 3 is the lead
Risk it all. Go small. Bertans at center. Force Gobert out of the paint and hope that Brunson/SD can take advantage.
One big and we are tied. Lose the rebounding edge by 10 instead of 20 and we have a chance But can’t win if our offense is **** and we give them 20 more chances to score
Honestly even when the Mavs get FT's they are missing them so really the ref's aren't hurting Dallas they are hurting themselves Shooting like 60% at the FT line is terrible as a team
As much as we hoped for a better result, this team is just nowhere near as talented as the Jazz without Luca. This game was the game to steal and the Mavs had to play over their heads and outside a few players, the rest are playing like garbage. Just not good enough
Stop complaing about lack of fouls because the Mavs can't ****ing hit FT's anyway
Got to get Bertans off the court the man is getting eaten alive.
How tf we just lettin a stiff like bogdanovic get whatever the **** he wants in the paint
Just let Mitchell do whatever he wants refs
We need Boban to scare these mofos when they get into the paint. Seeing Dwight and Maxi is a welcome sign for utah
Best player on the other team is an elite interior defender, ya let’s all go straight at him because that makes sense.
Stop attacking Gobert ffs, you are not that dude!
Mavs coaching need to stress to attack the paint every single possession Gobert isn't on the floor.
Imagine calling a foul on the Jazz on the Dallas glass. Imagine.
Trade everything for Gobert when Jazz blow it up and we are instantly contenders
6ft Brunson guarding 6ft8 Bogdanovic lol
Gobert is such a big factor. So tough to score around the rim
Bogdanovic is legit the modt consistent offensive threat they have, never seen him have a bad game against us
We’re really letting a math teacher absolutely brutalize us huh
Gobert gets the body every single block he makes, EVERY SINGLE ONE
Please stop challenging Gobert
Kleber is the most frustrating player to watch in the history of the universe
Van Gundy: 48 minutes of bitching about modern nba
I don’t get why there’s absolutely zero ball movement. Can’t make threes if you’re not even trying to get open looks
Golbert is a man among boys out there
I hate Donovan Mitchell so much. The hate is probably fairly irrational, I know, but he is easily in my top 5 handful of hated players in the league.
Man if we even shot 31% on threes, we’d be within a point. 25% ain’t gonna get it done
Please leave DFS on Mitchell. Man he attacks everyone else
Bojan is shooting like 90% on heavily contested shots
damn, mitchell ****ed spence on that move, lol. but these refs need to swallow their damn whistles already, pissing me off.
That Kleber 3 miss was just brutal. He clanked that like a construction worker hammering a nail. Jesus.
FINALLY GOBERT GETS CALLED FOR AN OFFENSIVE FOUL. ****ING EMBARRASSING HE ONLY HAS 2 FOULS.
Just amazing they refuse to put anyone else on Bog
God awful rebounding cost them
Who the **** is Royce O'Neale?
How do you get crossed over by Royce O’Neal
We are being obliterated on the boards
Why would they leave Bogdanovic wide open at the 3 point line right there? Makes no sense.
They’re not gonna shoot this bad in future games we gotta win this one
I dont know anything about the guy but Jaz coach, Snyder looks like a movie villain
Royce O'Neal with the dagger. His only made shot.
How are the Jazz not fouling out already??
Why is JB on Bogdanovic
That was on Dinwiddie, getting side stepped by Royce O’niel SMH
Mitchell was destroying Mavs well before Bertans came in. Who was guarding him first 8 minutes in Q3? That was not the problem? Mitchell scoring 32 points with 29 shots is something you sign before the game anyway. Mavs are not winning a single game in this series with scoring only 93 points, no matter what they do in D. And Bertans won't win or lose this series for Mavs. It looks to me that this series was lost in game 82 of RS.
