Only plays that REALLY upset me was a lack of rebound effort by Ryno(and Wolters) in the beginning of the 2nd quarter that gave up a 3. Wolters thought it was so obvious that Ryno would grab it that he didn't even try either.

Then there was the rebound conceded on the missed free throw that resulted in a 3 when we were up 8. Ended up being a 4 point possession. I could understand if Dirk misses his 2nd free throw and it takes a tough hop..... But this was freaking Rondo. He's almost a certainty to miss it. Expect a miss. It was a totally normal rebound that they just allowed a scrub like Powell to come over their back and bat away because they didn't give any effort.

Those are 2 effort plays that gave up 6 points. And I'm not nitpicking on the effort. It was pitiful on both accounts.

There was another missed FT where the ball was kind of slowly making its way out of bounds and Anderson just watched it slowly bouncing away rather than getting it. It was moving slow enough for a Mavs player to come from above the FT line to get it fairly easily before it went out, but Anderson didn't even consider grabbing it. That play pissed me off. I thought white guys were supposed to hustle and bring energy with non-stop motors.
