@CBT was in rare form tonight. I love that CBT. Great bounce back, boys. Next two are at Portland. Probably just hope for a split. Dame is a bad dude.

He’s actually pretty tough.  We have the only guy in the league who could take him in a fight, and he’s on COVID vacation tonight.

I'd put money on Dame even with the reach difference 

[Vic Mackey 47108]

Fuck the Clippers. That is all.

Luka the GOAT

They played fine, I suppose. Hit a lot of shots (as did Portland). Just frustrating when Dallas is up 4 with 5 mins to play and in my mind I'm thinking... "okay, we're toast"

[RexWilson 1348]

Josh Richardson had a bad night. Sloppy ball handling, couldn't hit a shot, and the guys he guarded went off.

[Vic Mackey 47108]

[conVINCEd 21469]

Luka is fucking incredible tonight.

Brought his flamethrower. I've been keeping a pretty close eye on 3P% all year... tonight (assuming/hoping he's about done) pretty much offsets the damage December did to that number 

[threesheets 1673]

Meh. Still think we should fire Rick and hire Craig Miller as the new head coach and Vic as GM.

[gsoda3 3280]

Hah he shot 8-9 from beyond the arc and went 3-6 from the stripe. He should take the nick van exel approach.

[Pato del Muerto 52553]

Or start in front of the line and shoot step back fts 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Luka is good at basketball 

[immortal13 4059]

Another statement game by the Mavs. That was a thumping. 

[LurkingHorn 1066]

Really nice to see them bounce back against good teams like this. I think a split in Portland is a pretty dang good result. Next 4 are against teams not currently in the playoffs. 3-1 has to be the minimum there. 

[CBT 1282]

Strong to quite strong.

I definitely would not have wasted Dirk's last years. Sign me up.

Powell looked bouncier last night than he has looked all year.

Does the team make a trade by the deadline? I have read several rumors but also some stuff saying nothing will happen.

My thoughts on a few players:

Drummond - Cleveland wants a 2nd round pick if they dont take back long term salary and a 1st if they do. I don't see this happening as a trade and not sure we are going to beat out other teams if he is bought out.

Oladipo - can be had for cheap. Filler salary and some 2nd round picks most likely. This is my top target that I think is attainable.

Collins - saw a Maxi for Collins rumor. Not sure what else Atl would want. I think it would be a great fit but Mavs dont have enough trade assets.

Fournier - Another potential low cost guy on an expiring deal. He has the 3 but not much D.

For me, I want a scorer. Coming in to the season more emphasis was put on defense but the results are meh. KP has been too up and down on offense. THJ is hit or miss. That's why I think Oladipo makes sense.

Can't they just sign Oladipo this summer? Not sure it's worth it to give up all the other assets if that's the case. If they are going to make a trade, I would absolutely do the deal for Collins even if Maxi is involved. He's younger than all the other guys on the list and would be a legit scorer. 

[CBT 1282]

Collins is a FA also, and will get a max deal. Or at least close.

For Oladipo, it isnt giving up much. James Johnson, probably Wes, and some 2nd round picks. Advantage over doing it now is Mavs would get his Bird rights.

[conVINCEd 21469]

We get one swing at adding another max-type guy. Luka gets extended this summer and that’s it, no more cap room for the foreseeable future.  I don’t think Oladipo is the guy.

[gsoda3 3280]

No, absolutely no to drummond.

Oladipo is looking to get paid a max deal. Pre injury he was a borderline max player. Post injury not close. Some team will cough it up and he can be the new John wall but please don't let the Mavs be that team.

[Pato del Muerto 52553]

Did they try to sign Blake griffin?

Agreed, and if you give up anything of substance it’s implied that you are going to try to resign him.  If it’s a future #2 or something like that sure, why not if you think it marginally improves the team this year, but he won’t be that cheap.

Luka may have blown his wad last game. Sheesh

[LurkingHorn 1066]

Great 3rd quarter. Denver also lost tonight and the Spurs are losing. Need to keep chipping away 

[conVINCEd 21469]

These next 7 games are pretty fucking easy.  We need to take advantage of that.

[immortal13 4059]

Mavs have it going now. I think we should be able to avoid the play in, especially with the easiest remaining schedule in the league 

[Pato del Muerto 52553]

72 in the second half will work. 40 in the 4th also nice. 

[LurkingHorn 1066]

Also nice that the starters did not play a lot since we have a back-to-back coming up.
