Tough loss not sure why Saric or Rose didn't take those shots. Unbelievable D by Rose for that stretch and some terrific offense as well by the team before flubbing at the end.
Not sure what Ryan was supposed to do besides run out there and make shots himself. Towns was terrific but got in foul trouble again and it hurt especially defensively they were better with him in there. Dallas was getting some easy looks at the basket.

Bonehead play by Okogie. But Saunders encourages him when he comes off the court...that will pay off down the line
He never had the ball
That's what my honey is saying here too. Robson and I saw it differently...looked like he couuld have corraled the ball, but instead tried to make a behind the back hero play. I'll have to watch it again to see what happened.
He never fully caught the ball off Taj pass. Still a heck of a pull up 3 for Luka.
I know it feels different because thibs is gone and it was fun to watch but that is a really bad loss to a team we are fighting for the playoffs with

Well, if it makes anyone feel better, Butler missed two free throws to tie the game in the waning moments and the Sixers ended up losing by 2 at home to Atlanta.

Josh Okogie ain't the reason we lost this game I will tell you that.

Our players aren't too smart. Other team is making a lot of open 3's? Let's not guard them. We gotta shoot a 3 to win?!? Hell nah
Yeah, you gotta take the shot when it's there. We made 43.5% of our threes tonight and Dallas only made 34%, but they took 14 more of them. Credit Doncik for giving them good looks that Teague just didnt give our guys.

I guess both teams will be hungry when we square off.

Fact. He kept us in it in the 3rd. Defense was bad. We couldn't contain the barea and Powell PnR.

KAT being in foul trouble hurt again. Dieng was horrific. Think he allowed 4 lob dunks. Maybe 5.
