Shannon Sharpe & Gilbert Arenas react to Mavericks blowing 20-point lead vs. Cavaliers | Nightcap

Luca and the Mavs collapse in the fourth quarter lose against the Cavs 113 to 110 the Cavs overcame a 20-point deficit outscored the Mavericks 3120 in the fourth quarter no Donovan Mitchell no Darius Garland no Evan Mo Carris Levert 29 Points and a guty late three for the

Lead Jared Allen had 24 points 23 rebounds I guess he was responding to Andre Drummond 24- 25 against the Hogs yesterday Luca 39 seven and six was not enough kind of what did you take away from this ball game it’s it’s usually your bench you know Dallas is they have one Superstar

This reminds me of Jordan when he came into the league right you know the Luca’s so good where we think that you know Dallas Maverick is a yeah no he’s good they’re not good um you know your third best player which is your second best player now comes off the bench

Right it lets you know where the team is um and you know he was just outmatched you know it’s basically him versus you know Cleveland five now which is embarrassing because no Donan no Darius Garland no Evan Moy so the Cavs are down three starters you can’t lose that game

On your home court especially being up by 20 Gill yeah but you know when you when you have players like Levert coming off the bench where he was a big factor in this game where it came off with 29 off the bench right you know he was a big big

Key when um Brooklyn was when when he was with Brooklyn right when he was K him so you know he can play and that’s what’s coming off the bench so you got guys that steps up that you normally don’t count on but that’s what having

Deep rosters is like so when you do need players like that they can really you know count for one game so you know it’s just it’s just one of those games where you know um Dallas got a little a little overzealous as you can say yeah and when you look at it I’m

Looking at this ball game and I’m say Okay Hardaway Jr is is a nice player you got Dante exam who’s been playing well uh Grant William who you signed in free agency I just don’t know how you you get up by that manye and just blow the game

I mean they basically blew that ball game they had a 20-point lead and maybe and I don’t know maybe you can tell me if I’m wrong but I know sometimes we have a propensity to relax if a team I know in football oh they ain’t got this starting quarter back they’re down their

Starting running back they’re down their starting receiver or their best this or their best that and sometimes you find yourself you take that for granted but normally you don’t see that happen in football a team get a 14 17o lead Without A team’s best players and the

Other team that doesn’t have those best players come back and win now we see this a 20-point lead in today’s game is not the same as a 20-point lead 20 years ago Gil 30 years ago because the guys can shoot the three balls so much better because I don’t remember I mean

When I was growing up I don’t remember got teams coming back from 26 and 28 points in a ball game because normally that okay it’s time to watch something else it’s time to do something else we’re gonna go outside and play ball on our own y’all down by 2628 but the way

They shoot the three ball a couple of Threes a couple of turnovers and the next thing you know a 28-point lead is 18 and then they go on another spurt another 10 old run so now an 180 run and now you’re down 10 when you’re just down

28 but uh Seth Curry uh played a good game he had 19 points Luca as I mentioned had 39 Dante exam had 13 Derek Jones had 12 uh and Tim Hardway Jr had 14 but you look at uh uh Cleveland uh Isaac aoru had 22 Jared Allen 24 and 23

As we mentioned Carris Levert had 29 George Nang 16 ah you got to win that one though Gil you gotta now yeah those are the ones that you um you kick yourself you know in the ass later because you let this you know get away from you

Um with that being said what gets you in the leads is also what takes you out right because this is a three-point shooting league now you can go up by 20 and you can go down by 20 you shoot four five straight threes bricks them and

Then they make three or four or five right you just cut that lead down and that’s that’s what’s happen in today’s game where there’s no lead that safe because when you’re up you’re not going to get free throw line you’re trying to you’re meth that got you

Back there’s one thing that I have a problem with is this everyone shouldn’t shoot the goddamn ball right I know we need to put up you know a certain amount of Threes but not you not you not not you because when we’re up 20 everybody else feels like

They can shoot this is my time to shoot like no no this not your time toil have you ever seen a situation where all of a sudden the team is hot and everybody and you see this a lot in mop-up Duty a team is like up by 20 with like two minutes

To go in the ball game and all of a sudden they call time out and they sub everybody out and even the backups come in and they launching them and they going in now you put them guys in a regular meaningful game and they can’t buy a basket but seemingly when they’re

Up by 20 everybody no one can miss a shot and I think the thing is what you’re alluding to is that all of a sudden everybody if they feeling good they making threes hey let me let me try one no bro bro you need to nothing but

Two actually you need dunks and putbacks you don’t need anything outside the paint yeah no yeah when you when you’re a bench player the game’s down you down by 20 you up by 20 that is the perfect scenario for because you have no pressure on you so you just get to go

Out there and just shoot how you want to shoot that’s that’s uh that’s like practice for you right you just get get to throw up shots and sometimes that that costs you you know when a team still has their starters in yes so the Mavericks lose uh they collapse to the

Cavs lose 113 110 after being up by 20 points uh the Cavs outscoring by 11 in the fourth quarter to take a 113 110 Victory
