The Mavs seemed to have settled in with the starting lineup but with two guys down, it's time for Carlisle to get back on his weird poo poo. Barea starts, has played like three games this year. Maybe four

in case you're wondering, starting the guy who's played 50 minutes this year is not working

its like a 90s game but instead of missing contest midrange they're all just missing mostly open 3s

Raptors are getting wide open shots for Lowry and Fred against the zone. They've only hit one though so I guess it's "working".

At least Lowry is okay. I think the Raptors have already hit their quota for injuries this season.

They're all probably just upset about the potential war with Iran, I feel them

But for real they've let Lauri cleanly drive to the rim like 4 times with no defense

You'd think that between Miami neither defending the three point line or being able to rebound, the Raptors would be able to put some points on the board.

solid reffing where you dont let a team inbound the ball because you want to clap back at the other guy complaining about a foul.

Dwight Powell is one of the best screen setter/roll men in the league which is good because in literally every other aspect of basketball he's the worst player I've ever seen

Best shooting in the game from S. Curry and a 7' guy from Wurzburg

Meanwhile Dwight Powell: 15 min, 1-for-5, 0 REB, 0 AST, -14

Wait, it has to intentional for a kick ball to be called? I've never heard that before.

I think by letter of the law yes but it's usually called whenever it hits a foot unless the ref just doesn't feel like it or something

Man, Luka decided to try and murder the Nets this quarter. In the modern NBA leading 121-108 with 2 minutes left is not a safe lead though.

Thank you. I knew that's how it was usually called, I just didn't realize that wasn't how the rule was written. Harper mentioning the intentional part caught me off guard.

I appreciate the Mavs setting screens late instead of playing iso ball like they did against OKC. Luka can obviously take guys 1-on-1 but making the defense make a decision that he can read is way more consistent

De’Anthony Melton was such a great get by Memphis. He reminds me of Tony Allen with a better offensive game.
