I gotta admit that I was wrong about this team. I assumed even with Beal this team looks lost and can’t play a lick of defense. But Vogel figures things out and made out team a juggernaut on offense and a respectable top 12 team on defense.

I don't agree with that 3 from Book but when you're on, you're on.

That last block was him reading what Luka was doing all night and instead of biting, he waited for the fake and then got to the block. High IQ play there

When Katie Diop hitting 3’s you know the games over.

Keep it coming, fellas. If you want to make a point, handing them a humbling loss on THEIR floor is how to go about it. While it's not the playoffs, it's still a punking at their place.

Good response. They have a long way to go if they want to be taken seriously as a contender, but they're getting 3 quarters of decent to good basketball over the last couple weeks--well, more often than not.

Gotta stay healthy and start putting together 4 quarter efforts. No more easy baskets in transition is my priority for them.

I know Doncic got hurt but kudos to Book for showing up after struggling a lot as of late.

Damn this is satisfying , was looking grim in the first half , I was raging listening to the radio broadcast on the way home . Changed , worked out and see we have nearly came back at half then exploded .

When KBD plays like a servicable player this team will be unbeatable.
Funny thing they are doing this without Nurkic.
He slows the game down a lot.

It took 40 games to realize that Booker is not pg. The head coach needs to fire.

The Mavs comeback never got them closer than 16. It was nice seeing us not fall apart.

Dunno why this keeps getting brought up. It took 30 games for Beal to get healthy enough to play point. Point Book was out of necessity as was Point KD earlier int he season

Pretty surprised Little is playing. Figured we'd hold him out until the deadline
