Terrible, terrible loss last night.
It’s a bit ridiculous to rank them this low, but it’s hard to argue with their logic:

Over the last 27 games Mavs 20-7, Warriors 16-11. Without Draymond just not the same team. Klay didn't play last night so Curry really needed someone else. Kuminga played ok but had a couple of rough plays, missed dunk a goaltend where he grabbed the net and got a T as well. GP2 played well but in crunch time down 6 missed a huge open corner 3.
My take is Bjelica has fallen off a cliff, Porter Jr has hit a wall, and Poole is less consistent coming off the bench than he was as a starter. Add in that without Draymond teams are loading up on Curry and making him pass and it's hurt the offense.
on the other end Dallas made much of that run with the bench, and Curry out part of it, but when he came back in they went after him with Luka and Luka either scored, or passed to someone who hit a 3. Still it came down to 2 late clock shots by Dinwiddie, both 3's that were really the difference.
I'm biased but when Klay doesn't play I think they should just play Payton 30 plus minutes. He played 27 last night was +9 and he came in during the big Dallas run and he helped but they just couldn't score. Moody started for some reason he was +14 didn't really do much was largely just in during the big runs. Poole was terrible -12 in 19 minutes 0-7 0-2 including 2 bad layups where he just slowed up and hotdogged when he could have dunked and they both got blocked from behind. You could see on the bench Payton was really mad at Poole he was saying to someone else "he's gotta dunk that".
Wiseman was sent to the G league, did one scrimmage and then brought back so I assume he's really close and hopefully ready because Bjelica is giving them nothing and I think the reason Porter is struggling is worn out trying to play some backup 5.
