  1. I personally lean toward not playing Luka and Kryie on a back-to-back tonight. Very little to be gained. If reps are important, you could always play them the final 2.
  2. Just need NO or Phoenix to lose and that clinches no play-in. I didn’t realize there are 6 days off if you’re not in the play-in. That is huge.
  3. So now that the Mavs have the tie breaker over NO, they’re basically locked in to a top 6 seed barring the worst collapse of all time. Mavs can pick their preferred 1st round matchup IMO. If they want to rest Luka 1-2 games, I don’t think that’s a bad decision.
  4. Was saying to myself a few minutes ago that 105 probably wins this. Not so much.
  5. DJJ absolutely stuffs Curry on a 3. Damn this team is fun to watch on D.
  6. If we can get this PJ for the playoffs…
  7. I just don’t understand why he cannot shoot for this extended period of time. He’s always been streaky, but damn, this is painful. Maybe they’ll let him work his way out of it during some meaningless games the last week. I still feel like he can get hot and win us a game.
  8. Dude has his arm around Gafford’s neck on a rebound and the refs just choose to be blind to it. Pelicans and Kings both lose. So a loss tonight is not the end of the world. Would be really awesome to steal one though.
  9. This team actually has been good at taking care of teams that are below .500. I suspect they'll bounce back against ATL and then get another shot at the Warriors who will also be on a B2B.
  10. Or maybe just don't take pictures of random people without them knowing, regardless of the public space you're in. Just a thought.
  11. I know it's popular to slam people of his ilk, but taking pictures of people at the gym should be completely banned. Please don't be that guy.
  12. Win tomorrow and I bet this looks completely different.
  13. Putting the small ball lineup of Hardy, THJ, and Kyrie at the end of the 3rd cost us this game. The advanced stats with those 3 (at the very least any lineup with Hardy and THJ) are atrocious. No idea what Kidd was doing there.
  14. The Hardy, ThJ, and Kyrie lineup needs to die.
  15. I think playing Luka and Kyrie on a back-to-back at this point would be foolish. Luka is already questionable every night it seems like. The problem for the teams chasing the Mavs is they have pretty rough schedules down the stretch. It's likely 5-3 in the last 8 clinches a top 6 seed since we have the tiebreaker on both Phoenix and NO. Sac could still catch up but would have to go 7-1 in that scenario against this schedule: Here's NO's schedule for reference: And Phoenix: Heck, 4-4 probably still gets us a top 6 seed.
  16. So if we have a choice to play the Clippers or the Wolves, who are you choosing? I really would prefer to play someone besides the Clippers in the first round. At this point, ending with the 6th seed might not be terrible if you can give guys more rest and end up with a better matchup in the first round.
  17. This is so weird to read this sentence and it be about the Mavericks.
  18. We’re going to go on an amazing run and end up the 5th seed only to match up with the damn clippers again.
  19. They had been shooting like ~30% from 3 even during this win streak. If they can get that back to league average, watch out.
  20. Really big 2-game stretch here against the Kings. I think if the Mavs can split them, they're in a really good spot to pass the Kings in the last few weeks. Kings still have LAC, NYK, BOS, OKC, NO, and PHO left. Meanwhile, the Mavs only have one team after this that's in a playoff spot (Heat are in a play-in seed right now) and that's OKC the last game of the season.
