I know lip says we don't need gobert but it was a layup line for the mavs in the 1st Q

Ouch.

Mavs offer a lot more resistance defensively than the Bulls, that's for sure. Tough slog here.

Rivers with the AND1. We finally get a foul call.

Austin Rivers with the spin cycle and 1. He's been looking so much better of late.

So when Dinwiddie has a guy backpeddling (Moore Jr. in this case) and throws his shooting motion into him it's a foul, but when it's Ant driving into Dinwiddie when he's backpeddling it's not a foul. Smh....

Reid looking like Gobert handling the ball.

Doncic is hurting out there, yet still killing us playing on one leg. The guy is unbelievable. Gotta keep going at him on the other end...

Absolutely right idea to push the ball against the Mavs. Don't let their defense get set and try to speed up the game. Nice job by our guards pushing the pace these last couple of possessions.

There's been some what I would consider exaggerated criticism of Nowell lately on this board. But he does a lot of things really well and we're seeing those things tonight. He is probably the best finisher at the rim with the possible exception of Naz Reid. I actually think he accelerates a little faster than Edwards to the rim. He rebounds well, has a nice handle and rarely turns the ball over. His shooting can come and go, but it's usually there. Defense is his only weakness. But there have been stretches, including his minutes tonight, where his defense looks pretty darn good.
