I had to laugh at Draymond saying you can't see that when Luka pulled down Looney, that's a move Draymond has been caught doing several times in his career.

Such a good start and then dead in the water for most of the rest of the half.
They abandoned the game plan.

Porter out is a problem. The announcers don't seem to know but the left foot is the bad one, the right foot is the one he hurt against Memphis but the left foot is the one that caused him to miss most of 2 full years with the Bulls. That they're doing an xray is scary that was the issue before he had some sort of hairline fracture.

Lee was horrible last game, JTA horrible tonight Kerr is probably going to have to play Kuminga or Bjelica with Porter out.

It cannot be understated just how below average Klay Thompson is playing in the series. The first half of each game has just been embarrassing.

Kelenna Azabuike has a theory that Klay is a step slower than he's ever been before and he keeps thinking he's going to get by someone going left, can't and ends up taking those drifting fall aways. Going right he's been ok has even had some driving dunks, but going left it's really obvious how much slower he is

Agree with the announcers the key on defense this quarter is not putting the mavs on the line so much. 20 FTA's in the first half 2 this quarter because of the zone.

Klay Thompson needs to realize he needs to play the role of Shaun Livingston in the series. Mid range... inside... mid range… that's it.

I disagree. They were both very physical on that rebound. The refs let it go and then Finney Smith pushed green in the back. Deserved, in my opinion.

Collapsing against this schwag-ass Mavericks team just looks all the more pathetic with the Warriors handling them with relative ease, while not even playing great.

It sucks but the Mavs haven't shot anywhere near as well against the warriors as they did against us. And unfortunately, we don't have anyone who is at Steph Curry's level
