2023-24 Season | Game #57 | Mavericks @ Cavaliers | Feb. 27, 2024 | 7:00 p.m.

It was an intense game and fun environment from beginning to end. It was back and forth all night with so many lead changes...we were up by 14 in the second quarter, but the Mavs came right back, and the Mavs were up by 10 with 3 minutes left, and you saw the rest.

The Cavs honestly played really hard all night, particularly defensively (I know that may be hard to believe given Luka's statline, but he is so insanely good so many of his shots were made even after good defense). The Cavs played with an energy that was missing the last couple games, even though our big 4 were pretty middling (for them) on the offensive end.

Lastly, being at the arena, that crowd was fire and really into it. Loudest game of the season, and it reminded me of how electric the arena would be during the LeBron 1.0 era...it hasn't been like that in a long time. Everyone was standing the last 3 minutes of game time, and it was really great to see.

Man.

What a freaking game to have tickets for.

Thats so awesome you got to experience that!!!

I was at the San Antonio game in Texas and will be at the Houston game coming up.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

That said, pj Washington is going to make teams pay for years after that smart Dallas trade. Lucky that he didn’t win the game yesterday in that sense, let another team suffer.

This is the first time I've seen PJ since last season. He looks much more athletic than I remember. He looks like a wing.

And the Mo Williams 7 points in 5 seconds game against the Raptors.

Got a link or clip? I forgot about that game.

I love that Allen was too shocked to celebrate, just stood there with his mouth open.

Bet you forgot about the Damon Jones 48 point game against the Heat too.

Maxi Klieber was so shocked he glitched into Dirk Nowitzki

I'm just glad Mobley, after taking the pass from Max, didn't turn, dribble once, and launch it himself. He surely knew there were only a couple of seconds left. Nobody was close to him so I'm kind of surprised he didn't just turn and shoot, especially since time was almost out and he was closer to the bucket than Max. Fortunately for us he understood Max had the best chance to sink it.

According to the NBA 2 minute report, the only error was a non-call of a JA 3 second violation. On the problematic Green-Garland interaction just before the Cav's final TO, it was ruled Green contacted the ball first.

My reaction was identical to Allen’s and that never happens. I was just in total shock.

Before he arm-barred Garland and wrestled to the floor?

Sure. That’s a basketball play.

I did, in fact. I had little kids, in the 00s.

When was the last time Mobley has hit a 3?
