    The switching defense for the second unit killed us. Way too small to get boards when Zeke is on a smaller guy and their big guys just crash relentlessly

  2. LynxResponsible6731

    Completely fine result for the once a year double stinker from Jokic and Murray

  3. skylinerainbow

    Kyrie has always been in favor of some wild final solutions.

  4. CorduroyEatsCrayons

    Jamal took a fucking terrible shot at the end. Left time on the clock and fuckin missed. What a horrible decision.

  5. Bradleys_Chubb

    It’s just the way the shit-cookie crumbles

  6. Horrible Nuggets game. No moral victories here.

  7. Bodiroga1986

    Bad game by Jokic but this is ridiculous how they broke the 3 second defensive rule. Lively camped inside and not once did the refs call a defensive 3 seconds.. Dallas did it on purpose because they knew the refs wouldn’t ban it in their hall. That’s how they prevented the Jokic – Gordon connection and much more. That’s the recipe the Lakers used in the bubble. Several players camping on the edge 3 seconds in. That’s what the Clippers did in our defeat this season. We have to handle it better because apparently the refs tolerate it against Denver.

    Also Reggie holds the ball tooo much. Killing the teamwork 🙄

    Can’t win ’em all. Still in great position

  9. _absofuckinglutely

    The vibe was playoff energy and I loved it. It was a great battle with bummer ending. We’re still a top seed. It’s just one game in a string of great games. Coach is gonna a rip them a new one, they’ll collectively be mad at their own play and come out strong for the wolves which is a a bigger one.

    Imma need some people in here to RELAX. Way too many comments about being concerned, or calling for shit attitudes, going down another Murray agenda, and everything else here.

    Do some people not realize we are 11-2 sine ASB? That we are one of the hottest teams in the NBA at the moment? That we looked way worse last year towards the end of the season and still won the chip?

    This was a very uncharacteristic game for us. As always we will rebound and be just fine. I’m just mindblown at this sub over any loss but even more moreso this time considering how good we’ve been. This felt like a scheduled loss to me, looking forward to the crickets from the doomers after the Minnesota game

    Dallas grabbed 22 more rebounds, they shot worse than average from three, and Kyrie and Luka performed as expected.

    Joker had a bad game (didn’t get a lot of calls he should have), and Jamal had a bad 3.5 quarters. KCP, CB and MPJ played well.

    Clean up the rebounding and this wouldn’t have been close. That had 21 orbs lol. It’d be insane if we did pull that off with them getting essentially 15 more possessions than the nuggets.

  12. Lively and Gafford may have combined for like 15 fouls tonight. Regardless, bad games from Murray and Jokic and lost to a crazy final shot. Bench rebounding was fucking embarrassing tonight

  13. Savahoodie

    Literally 2 last second buckets away from being 13-0 post all star break. Let’s quit the crying.

  14. Our 2 losses since the ASB have been from KD going nuclear in OT and Kyrie hitting one of the most bullshit shots of all time, dunno if we’ll get the 1 seed but we’ll be fine.

  15. Recallingg

    I’m way more upset that it was Kyrie who hit that than the fact that we lost. I get the whole separating the art from the artist thing but I really hate seeing people praise such a massive anti-Semite even if he did hit a really cool shot.

    EDIT: thanks for being so fast mods <3

  16. VexoftheVex

    They **have** to come out and punch Minnesota in the mouth

  17. switchtregod

    Is Deandre Jordan injured? Malone needs to answer for this crime of keeping him benched when he’s one of the best rebounders on the team

  18. Apart-Cucumber-7090

    AG has now gotten cooked by KD and Luka in the clutch

    I’m beginning to worry about if he’s good enough to guard those guys and Kawhi down the stretch in a series

  19. lilgohanx

    So many points in the game where we just played completely terrible – mainly the reggie jackson terrorist stretch in the 3rd when we went down 9 simply because the spirit of will barton was released. Ball went their way every single shot on the boards, we played with weak hands today. Jokic and Jamal went 13/36. Lost by 2 off of some nazi bullshit hook

    Im really tired of reggie just fucking up the offense everytime hes in the game

  20. doggoesmeow

    This hsbt the first or last that Murray will mess up shot clock management.

    It’s a flaw of his

  21. MamaHadACow

    That last second shot heroball by jamal was clearly leading up to an jokic/AG oop. All the pieces were in play. He wanted his name in the headlines i guess

  22. tarspaceheel

    Lemondhead there is a chance your Badgers will get to avenge that awful 2015 title game.

  23. drunkontequila

    Not tripping about the loss tbh. Mavs needed that win more than us and we probably get the win if our 2 best players showed up sober this game lol

  24. doggoesmeow

    I’m too sad to look at the boxscores, but did Kidd really adjust his rotations to match their starters against our bench,?

  25. WeirdRedBeard

    I was wondering why so many comments feel like it’s mfs watching a ball game for the first time, and then I remembered what the start time was

  26. doggoesmeow

    It just sucks that our 11-2 effort reward is to still be behind OKC and Minnesota in the standings.

    How the fuck are they so consistent this season

  27. Surprised we even got it close considering the rebounding and Murray and Jok playing like garbage. Not too concerned

  28. trevstan1

    I blame the mods. Tell me I’m wrong if you dare.

  29. Big_Stay6072

    This was a terrible game by the Nuggs, and the Mavs barely squeaked out a win. On to the Wolves. They can’t play this bad 2 games in a row.

  30. ImGonnaChubbBradley

    Last time the Mavs had 20 offensive boards in a game was back in 2015

  31. Unlucky_Fig7189

    Good comeback. However, the final 28 seconds was atrocious. Doncic getting a wide open 3 off inbound, without Gordon getting picked or anything. Murray taking the shot way to early giving the Mavs a chance to win in regulation. Tip your hat to the Mavs, but too many situational mistakes by Denver (Gordon and Murray).

  32. I’ll still take the 11-2 record since the All Star Break.

  33. ApplesAndToothpicks

    I get that people are pissed, but seeing y’all genuinely say you got worried over one PBJ stinker game+getting outrebounded by 22 is hilarious.

    Malone will go over the clips with the team, Jokic and Murray will play better, simple
