Wow. Maybe you secretly came in hopeful for another Herb Big D game, but all you got was Luka Doncic (28 points, 14 assists) walking him into the hoop over and over again.
Or maybe you thought helpful parts would come together like they have in the past 10 games (5-5 record), but all you got was a bunch of bricks in a quiet building.
Perhaps you saw Jonas Valanciunas make seven 3s and thought he’d be awesome again, but all you got was a bunch of zeroes when it mattered most.
As quickly as positive thoughts congealed in the brain matter of Pelican nation, they were thrust away by endless Mavericks buckets in a blowout loss Wednesday night at home.
