Game feels uncomfortably similar to game 4 against OKC, up by 10-15 most of the night but never took advantage of the opponents long scoring droughts to build an insurmountable lead.

Gafford just can't be the screener anymore…

Yeah Gafford has mentally imploded this quarter. Too many little mistakes.

The rebounding without Lively is brutal

Gafford has got to body Gobert every shot

And I'll say what I said at halftime of game 4 against OKC as well: Only being up 8 at the half is borderline disastrous after that half. Minnesota went like 3 of their last 12 from the field and actually CUT INTO the lead.

After the way they played that's a huge win for Minnesota. They were begging us to take a 20+ point lead.

To be fair sometimes Gobert just goes right through his back, but they allow it because he's taller.

Yeah unfortunately I think this is largely on the Gafford minutes.

3 turnovers
3 fouls
1 rebound
0 points

This lead feels pretty tenuous with Lively out and Gafford in foul trouble. The drop-off in rebounding and rim-protecting was glaring with Powell out there.

How come everytime someone goes down it is one of our guys?

LAC, OKC, and Minnesota have all played largely injury free. I know about the Kawhi situation, but that happened way before our series.

And we we play great with Lively. Gafford has no ability in the short role and they just aren't scared of driving at him the same way they are with Lively. The rebounding also drops off significantly.

The good news is our defense typically gets better as the game goes on, outside of G4 against OKC. In this series it has been much better in the second half both times.

I agree generally. But gafford is +8 tonight and lovely is +1. Gafford isn't the problem tonight.

Seems like Gafford has been on the floor when we have made our 3s. Lively has just played the center position much better tonight.

Lively with a neck sprain and is questionable…could've been worse news for sure.

And of course the dogsh/t call from Brothers leads to a three.

Lively is better for sure, but gafford is not bad. We just need to make some adjustments. Gotta rebound as a team for one.
Try to break even when Powell is in

Are we going to get any defensive rebounds tonight? Game would be over by now if we could clean up the boards a little bit.

Kyrie Irving is just beautiful to watch. The most aesthetically pleasing offensive game I've ever seen.

Without Lively and with Gafford in foul trouble, this is the 2023 Mavericks defensively. Yikes.
