    It's the classic Udoka move. If in doubt, bench Reed.

    That’s three shots in a row that Jabari drove into the defense unnecessarily.

    This lineup can't score for crap but they're supposed to make up for it on the defensive side, which they absolutely are not smh

    You would think after AD embarrassed the Rockets in his debut last year w Mavs and losing again to them this year when heavily favored that he would make some adjustments, he just cant figure out how to beat a depleted Mavs team easily.

    This what I meant in the DFs thread when I say his best attribute is he knows his role and doesn’t try to do more
