Why is Murray not playing?

You don't have an antenna?

I just figured out it was on NBC regular TV. Was watching on Peacock.

This would be the worst loss of the year.

 

[blazerkor]

Need to foul in this situation.

This would be the worst loss of the year.

I'm not following? Why would you think that?

 

[blazerkor]

Big time win!!!

 

[kjironman1]

Klay had time and an open look after the fake. Just missed it.

 

[blazerkor]

Cool for Caleb to get this post game interniew on the national stage.

 

[B-Roy]

I feel justified in my Caleb Love glaze earlier

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Caleb did good there at the end. Knew it was too late to foul him so just defended the shot as well as he could without fouling.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Nope

 

[noknobs]

Great win! Gutsy back to back wins being massively short-handed.

 

[blazerkor]

Nice to see Shaedon hit those clutch free throws tonight. Big game from him, Deni and Caleb.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Did they say on the broadcast; Deni got a triple double?

 

[kjironman1]

Mavs might be on the road to being really good again very fast.
Word is they might try to move AD and get some wiggle room on cap and maybe pick up a pick or two. Remember they also have Kyrie coming back eventually and he could be a great addition or even dealt also for more assets.
Getting Flagg was really what you call hitting the lottery.

Always slighting our guys. Just kidding, I don't think it was on purpose but no one said anything about it.

 

[wizenheimer]

I guess Dallas was out of challenges; they would have won the challenge of that Love shooting foul

 

[Ripcity4life77]

box score on ESPN says he only had 9 Reb

 

[riverman]

This was a fun game to watch...lot of lead changes and down to the wire. Refs let them play, didn't call many ticky tac fouls.

 

[KingSpeed]

Caleb Love = ROTY

 

[blazerkor]

Whew, that was a close call. I didn't know if I was going to have to have another drink to comfort me in defeat or one to celebrate a victoriy.

Cheers

 

[wizenheimer]

Dallas really needs to escape this:

Um that would be our loss to the Bronny-led Lakers.

I was as critical about Caleb Love as anyone, but that's two games this year he's basically won for us. It's also two games in a row in a back-to-back no less that he played well and looked like a legit NBA player, a player that probably could fill a role and be in the rotation on a playoff-level team. Something's clicked for him.

I don't think they would have. Love got hit pretty square in the body. That's usually an automatic call.

They weren’t, but they would have lost it. Williams clearly gave too much body contact.

It’s actually 4. This is also 4 good games in a row.

You're absolutely right.

he lost the ball before any contact. It was like the Dallas player tripping himself

Good guys win is all that matters
