How did we win that?

[Dex]

Dallas, oddly enough, missed 10 FTs. Spurs missed 6. Spurs won by 4.
It would have been a shame if the Spurs had outshot Dallas 46% to 38% from the field and lost the game.

Remember the days when Dallas consistently shot like 98% from the line against us?

Both teams shot like crap last night, but the Mavs were the bigger anomaly....Dirk missing is always a surprise, and Dalembert, a career 71% FT shooter, went like 1-6.

we looked awful in some golden state games

talking 1st round. i haven't seen that level of intensity and domination yet this series.

Stats dont mean at this point. Gotta get game 5, nothing else maters.

Stats are the vitals of the game. Just wanting to stay alive is fine, but that depends greatly upon your vitals. Saying they don't mean anything is naive.

team looked soooo much better last year

Against scrubs in LA, struggled against Golden State and swept a Memphis squad that was surprised to be there. Needed the bench players to play like all stars in order to get there, and to get 7 games in the Finals needed Danny Green to set a Finals 3pt record because two of your big 3 didn't really show up.

Because last year Danny Green was insanely hot almost hitting 3's from half court. Someone posted earlier that Danny Green usually single handily destroys Dallas.

Yeah, and now Green thinks he can dribble before taking shots despite the fact I've never seen him make one of those.

Green just has to be in the Bowen shot corner to be effective, tbh.

Controlling most of the game and playing in front surely helps. Hitting them freethrows sealed the deal.

we actually played some defense.

[3 Legged Dog]

Mavs got overaggressive/Spurs got lots of calls down the stretch, though I'd argue that the Mavs got more calls overall.

The Mavs would never have made their "miraculous comeback" if not for a plethora of ludicrous trips to the FT line.

Like I said earlier, I never want to see Green try to do that EVER again in a close game, never AGAIN.
