2020 - 2021 Dallas Mavericks: That motherfu*ker in Dallas is coming

[CBT 1282]

Im not sure LA has anything left. Maxi is a great defender though.

He is a great defender, probably our second best if not our best. But in that lineup we'd get lit up.

[LurkingHorn 1066]

KP and Luka were great during clutch time. I felt like there were several times we were a shot away from opening up a lead and it finally broke that way. 
 

Never gets old beating San Antonio

[dcar00 14321]

very good win

[gsoda3 3279]

Looking into tickets for next Monday or Wednesday through official channels but they're slim pickings. Anyone have thoughts on resale sites? Wondering what the best way to find tickets would be.

Wish I did. If you find out, could you share? I'll be getting the 2nd shot at the end of March so would love to go to a game in April. 

[CBT 1282]

Great game by KP and the offense overall. More of that please.

[Vic Mackey 47107]

Chris Arnold said this is the best stretch for the Mavs in a decade. We have won 10 of 12. In 2011, we went 18-1 at one point. Hard to believe but then it isn't considering how the last decade went since that ring.

Just praying we can keep KP out there for the rest of the season.

THJ heat check night here we go.

[gsoda3 3279]

Not sure which game's going to be uglier between this game and our game against Tech

[conVINCEd 21469]

Brunson goes for 30 tonight.

[LurkingHorn 1066]

I get resting the guys but I sure would like to see them at least available tonight after the extended break. You cannot afford to lose games like this after the terrible skid earlier in the season. 

[CBT 1282]

This...this is not good.

[CBT 1282]

Not sure which game's going to be uglier between this game and our game against Tech

It’s really hard to tell right now.

[TommyGufano 6021]

That Isaiah Roby was a good pick by whatever org drafted him 😒

[LurkingHorn 1066]

Annnnnd this is what I was afraid of. Cannot afford losses like this. 

[gsoda3 3279]

No one is playing defense. No one is boxing out.

[conVINCEd 21469]

Forfeiting games in a conference where the difference between a 3 seed and a 7 seed has been a couple of games in the last few years seems like a bad idea to me.

[immortal13 4059]

As a fan this pisses me off to no end. Fucking essentially forfeiting games

[LurkingHorn 1066]

This game is on Carlisle. He made the decision to sit two stars when it seemed completely unnecessary. Now you don’t have a win and you head to Denver for your third game in 4 nights. Even if the two stars are rested, the rest of the roster is now spent. Maybe the team will bail him out, but this was still a bad call. 

[bluto 4934]

Sit them vs a probable loss not in a game you gotta hold serve. Awful shit

[conVINCEd 21469]

KP at least you can make an argument for sitting him.  Luka you can’t.

they've got that 8 seed wrapped up.

Edit: yes I know about the play in tournament.

LeBrons like 50 and not resting any games. Rest Luka in blowout games, not forfeit wins geez.

[Vic Mackey 47107]

Yep this makes zero sense coming off a week break. Luka is young as hell. The fuck you load managing him? You play either Luka or KP and we win. Sitting them both after a week break in a game we really need to win is idiotic. No reason at all to sit them both. As someone mentioned, Lebron is much older, has a shit ton of games played and he gets out there.

I find it interesting you think Rick made this decision himself. 

This game, and sitting them did not bother me at all.  Hell I'm more surprised when KP actually plays on a B2B.

 

What I'm scratching my head over is the lack of young guys...if Green and Bey had played a ton I'd have taken this a lot better.

Who do you think made this decision? 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

So this is the game you rest KP and Luka. Bad call from Carlisle.

[CBT 1282]

Damn good first half. 

[CBT 1282]

KP sitting was 100% predetermined months ago. It was a road back to back. He wasn't going to play no matter what. And, given this situation, that seems like the smart thing to do. Y'all want to win a road game in early March and increase the risk of him missing more time later. (note: should have won the damn game anyways, THAT part is what's on Rick to some extent.)

No reason whatsoever for Luka to sit.  He had played twice in the last week.  Agreed on the good first half, would have been better if we didn’t start out in a 10-0 hole.

[LurkingHorn 1066]

I think Luka should have played against OKC. I think we could have played just as well tonight if Luka would have played two nights ago. I still think it was a a bad loss, but I’m glad the team responded. Go Mavs. 

[CBT 1282]

Even better second half.

[CBT 1282]

Another great game by JRich. Maybe he’s finally back to full health after covid. Would be huuuuuuge for the team.

Also, heart:

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Good win. Mavs have been balling lately provided Luka plays.

[Vic Mackey 47107]

Probably one of the best wins of the year. Denver is good team and they went on the road of the 3rd game in 4 days and kicked their ass.

[washparkhorn 9939]

The shots were raining in last night for the Mavs.  Jamal Murray is in a funk for DEN, but there was no way DEN was beating DAL last night - Mavs were ready and put together an excellent win on Statement Saturday in the NBA. 

DAL is officially back after a slow start to the season.

That was a statement game for sure

[crum 525]

Huge set of games. 2x Clippers and 2x Blazers. Games against Blazers are huge as they are 1.5 ahead of us. Clips are 3.5 ahead I believe. Big chance to shave those leads and get us closer to not being in the play-in games

[DonkeyCigars 143]

The argument for why you sit your team against OKC is to see what you have against DEN, and make the statement. It's straight out of the Popovich playbook. Especially since the low seeds are play in games anyways.

going to tonight's game.  ended up buying tickets off the nba website.  what resale tix there were were marked up pretty heavily.  it looks like there aren't that many tix for each game to begin with so it makes sense.

Are you having to provide proof of vax or no?

Maybe, I don't think anybody is anti-KP sitting, but your 22 year old superstar sitting straight out of the All-Star break is stupid. Especially given how much he played in ASG. If his ankle hurt, he shoulda pulled the Lebron and played 9 minutes not 30+.

they haven't said anything about providing proof of tax.  i had to fill out a health care questionnaire for all of us though.  "have you been sick, has anyone in your family been sick, are you feverish" that was about it.

[CBT 1282]

[x] Yes, got that Luka fever.
