Golden State Warriors Appear Unbeatable After Game 2 Win Over ... (Forbes)

As the Warriors pulled off a 19-point comeback over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 2 of their Western Conference Finals series, a couple of things became very ...

Simply put, there isn’t a single team remaining in the playoffs that has as many offensive weapons — Curry, Thompson, Poole and Wiggins — capable of taking over a game. However, with Thompson finally back in the fold after a three-year hiatus and now that young players such as Poole and Looney have developed into quality role players, Golden State appears unstoppable. "That's something that we have to get better at this time of the year." "And we died in the third quarter by shooting that many 3s and coming up with only two." Game 2 followed a troubling performance by the Mavericks in Game 1 in which they made just 11-of-48 (22.9%) three-point attempts. The most amazing stat of them all was the career-high 21 points contributed by Kevon Looney, who hadn’t scored that many points in a single game since his freshman season at UCLA back in 2014-15.

It's just the defensive end we've got to improve a lot.” “It's the worst,” said Doncic when asked about being down 2-0 again. He’s also taken the main assignment of guarding Doncic — many times with full-court pressure.

Dallas Mavericks: Down 2-0, it would be unwise to count out Luka ... (Sir Charles In Charge)

The Dallas Mavericks are down, but it would be foolish to count them out against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

Question is, will a beat-up Luka still have enough in the tank to continue to carry the Mavs during Games 3 and 4? Through two games, the Warriors have looked like the better team. Dallas looked overmatched and overwhelmed on the same floor as the Suns.

Jason Kidd cost the Mavericks Game 2 with poor coaching (Mavs Moneyball)

The honeymoon is over. As much well earned respect that Jason Kidd garnered this season in his first year as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, the tank is ...

“We have to understand, when we shoot three or four threes in a row and miss, you’ve got to get to the rim and got to get the ball into the paint, got to get to the free-throw line. We believe in one another to be able to execute on the offensive end and get a stop or get a basket and get a stop. The Mavericks had everything going for them–until they didn’t. It wasn’t a fluke, and it wasn’t pressure coming from the Warriors. The call came from inside the house. We’ve seen this in Phoenix. So now we have to go back and just focus on Game 3 and get ready for Game 3, understanding what’s at stake. We just have to protect home and focus on that first possession.” That was the story of the evening. The players played the game as well as they could, but the game plan dissolved. When Golden State rattled off a 13-0 run in the first quarter without a Mavericks’ timeout, it was apparent that something bad could happen. It was a tale of two teams as the Mavericks went away from everything that was working for them and fell into the same poor offensive possessions and strategies that tanked them in Game 1. The ball rarely touched the paint, something they’ve built success around, and they settled for pull-up threes. In Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, the Mavericks led by as many as 19 points. “We got great looks, but we have to do better,” Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said.
