A bulging disc is going to be more than two weeks.  He might try to play after two weeks but he's not going to be anywhere near 100%.  I'd be very surprised if he even tries to play after two weeks.

Yo this team learning to win WITHOUT LuKai is gonna spell danger for the rest of the west.

I was listening to a podcast this morning that said the the Mavs were still their biggest threat in the West no matter where they finish in the standings.  

They can create good shots in the half court as good as anyone, and that's without Luka and Kai.  

That teams like Memphis and the Rockets are really good but still have no reliable half court offense, and that's what will cap them come playoff time.

Wait...was this reviewed and still not called a goaltend?

You can't review and overturn an uncalled goaltend.  You can only review if it was called on the floor.

Still a terribly missed call. Not sure how that even happens. Seems like you'd err on the side of calling it if you can overturn it.

I'd be shocked if the office overturned the result and gave us two points.  

 

Jason Kidd and his use of Dinwiddie and Klay in the Luka and Ky roles at the end of the game was terrible.  I understand Dinwiddie's role is Luka-lite, but we had a huge mismatch in Gafford and whoever was trying to guard him and we didn't go to him once the last quarter.  Half of our final possessions in the game can't be Dinwiddie dribbling the ball and hoisting bad shots. Naji was slicing and dicing all game, let him initiate and find something.  

I almost lost it when the inbound play out of the timeout was to Klay up top in iso. I used to think Kidd spent the entire timeout doing something else other than drawing up an inbound play for Luka and Luka defaulted to that play, but it's pretty clear now Kidd spends the timeout drawing that play up.  I'm so aggravated. We shouldn't have lost that game.

That seems like the best option. This just ain’t our year. Let O-Max and the kids grow up some and see what we can get in the draft and free agency. 

Yeah pretty much. Omax is already showing signs of being usable.

Grimes is on a one year deal.  We need to be featuring him in trade talks since he turned down that extension. 

Agreed.  We can't have a DJJ/Brunson situation again where they play themselves into a bigger deal than we can stomach or match.

They're too good to Tank...and luka will drag them to the playoff when he gets healthy.

So they just need to play it out. Maybe add another big to get them there...they still need a good wing defender. But i'd like to keep this years Draft pick...might be the worst they are for a while.
