Yeah, it is the scoring table's call on some of those plays whether to blame the passer or the receiver. Imagine if football was like that?djy2j wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 9:45 pmFor sure. Surprised at the 17. I went to look at his turnovers and was shocked at only 2. He literally lost the ball at least 7 times.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 9:02 pmI liked 17 rebounds by Ayton, but almost everything else was subpar. Too many mental mistakes and tepidness under the rim.
Then Tom Brady and Bill Belichick would have zero rings and my 49ers would not have choked their last two Super Bowls awayINFORMER wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 9:47 pmYeah, it is the scoring table's call on some of those plays whether to blame the passer or the receiver.

Booker looked more focused and engaged than the last 4 games, for sure. Pretty non existent until tonight.
God damn it never gets old
Spero Dedes deserves more credit than that.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 6:51 pmThe NBATV feed is some guy and Grant Hill. They're fine.

really good recap. my only quibble is that you didn't mention how shitty book was playing on defense tonight. it shouldn't have been close if he just would have given some resistance to his guy. so glad he redeemed himself there.Split T wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 10:39 pmJust finished...what a game from CP3! Ugly game in the first half for both sides. Paul was the one bright spot for us. Booker showed up in the 2nd half to help bring it home.
Ayton looked decent to start. He was great on the boards. His defense wasn’t great...as others mentioned, he just left the paint 4 or 5 times when his teammate was clearly expecting help. Though he did do well a few times switching onto Luka down the stretch...that one foul he got defending Luka at the end was one of the weakest I’ve seen. What Luka did to deserve the Jordan whistle is beyond me.
Mikal/Cam/Crowder didn’t show up offensively...Bridges did get aggressive at times, but was a little careless with the ball and his shot wasn’t falling. I really think we should flip Crowder and Cam back. Cam hasn’t looked great since entering the starting lineup. Crowder hasn’t looked great off the bench.
Frank is doing alright out there. He’s doing a decent job filling in for Saric...and I’ve even seen him hit a couple 3’s...I had sworn before that he never makes them, haha.
Gallo hit a few big shots, had a rough game defensively though.
3-0 against Dallas this year...for some reason we have their number. Ayton is 8-1 against Luka in his career. Ayton - 1?
Pels up next on Wednesday.
Maybe he’s been watching video of Curly Neal before games.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 7:56 pmWTF is Ayton doing trying to dribble the ball 8" from the ground?
Too bad, so sad.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 7:58 pmThe Mavs have a lot more energy in this half. It's almost like they're tired of losing.
That’s what she said.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:08 pmWhen is Ayton going to stop bringing the ball down to his knees?
I guess so. Ho hum.bajanguy008 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:20 pmWe haven't really seemed in sync all game
Anyway guess we'll just have to come from behind again
That really was a horrible call to make at that stage of the game. Seriously pissed me off.
I’m just glad you had good vibes before the game.Wally_West wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:55 pmHoly shit!!! What an absolutely devastating way for the Mavs to lose. I almost feel bad, but nah.
Totally agreed. He is really good with the ball on his hands, but not much else off the ball, and he really does not looks so “generational” without the referees bailong hin out of his shaky jumper and offensive fouling charging to the rim. Paired with Booker as our backcourt would be extremely frustrating on the defensive end.The Bobster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 9:01 pmThe "Luka for MVP" predictions this preseason were way premature.
He's a great offensive player, but he dominates the ball, is a spotty outside shooter and isn't any help on the defensive end. Put that together with Dallas not being very good and he's not in the MVP race.
