Tyus got abused. Really most of PG's did. KAT having to leave for a bit when he was on fire. Saric playing probably his worst game as a wolf. Wiggins reverting more to the Wiggins we all know and love(?). Strange rotations/subs. And the nail in the coffin: bone headed plays at the end of the game (Okogie, Rose, whoever slacked off Luka on that 3, Ryan Saunders for that terrible play that took so much time). Pretty straight forward

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 could of controlled it. Made a incredibly dumb play.

I don't disagree, but he needs to be smarter at the end of the game than he was tonight.

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.

Hey Teague down the stretch, assist to towns, makes a floater, missed floater (Taj put back), teague sets up open 3 for saric who passed to rose for an open 3 he just didn't take it

The worse thing I saw during the broadcast was the fan that couldn't guess the word "Park" with clues like swing set, paisley... it was hilarious seeing the hype guy having an exasperated look on his face when the guy didn't even make a guess. Lol

He should of caught the initial pass but I don't know after that. Klever was right there and they both going real fast

It's not just Teague though, it's Carlise's offense. Did you notice that the second Doncic got past the screen and headed down hill, there was always two guys planted in the corners and another guy flaring out for a 3 above the break, so if we sagged from any of those spots to help with the roll man, he had three different options to pass out to for 3's.

JJ was a beast in PnR. They have shooters, were able to spread us out. I'd love to have a Powell and/or Kleber to play next to Kat.

No surprising a HOF coach outsmarted Ryan a bit on this one. Fun game. Lots of missed contributions overall.

Kleber is a hustle actual athletic big it was not just an easy play to make to keep the ball.
