    Dirk going to LA for Luka’s debut. Probably the biggest FU yet to this front office.

    Isn’t trading your star player and having all your good players injured and then raising ticket prices the plot of major league II?

Just reported as a left calf strain. So was KD’s until his popped in the finals.

Yeah, gonna need to monitor for sure… give him rest we’ll be fine without him for a spell.

This was after Nurkic’s second offensive foul. He was posting up and then lead with his elbow to Gafford’s face.

Naji didn't connect. PJ shouldn't have been ejected. Good win.

Why the hell was PJ ejected? That was some soft shit from Nurkic. Went down like a bitch. 

Nice to see them fight back… that was a pretty good sized gap they closed. Was just falling too easy for PDX in the first three quarters, and it’s hard to beat a team when they’re shooting their season high % from the floor.

Our perimeter defense is so bad. We need a lock down guy who can guard 1 through 4 and prevent them from driving. Last week I thought a 1 plus maxi and omax for herb Jones might be too much but I'm coming round to it.  

  • 2 weeks later...

17 fouls and 29 FT's shot by the Grizzlies so far.  ridiculous.  Mavs have shot 9.

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.

Strong bounceback last night. Good to finally snap the streak and against a team we are battling for a higher seed with. Terrible loss for the Lakers. 

gritty win... keep staying afloat pleasee

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.

Video evidence would seem Dallas has a good chance to win an appeal over the no caller goal tend in last nights loss. But knowing history, probably unlikely.

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. 

This team is wild man… capable of anything, good or bad, on any given night

Good win. No SGA, no Hart, we needed this one.

Uh, got a notification of Gafford playing well in the 3rd, why is there a game on?

We had so many out today with injuries. Along with Luka and lively- Grimes (back spasms.... What are you 40?), hardy, Powell.

 

Season from Hell keeps going.

 

Really reminds me of 2022-23 when they just couldn't get healthy, plus the other factors like a big time trade late.

Might just chalk it up and do what you can this year, maybe even tank a bit, since we own our pick.

In theory, they could still get the gang back together for a playoff run, but yes, kiss a top 4 seed goodbye.

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.

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

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

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

Angry Fed Up GIF

1. Put Gafford on trade block

2. Lively gets hurt

3. ????

4. Profit?

more bullshit calls.  these refs are fucking awful

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.

I can't speak to hockey as I'm only a casual observer, but f's sake I wish injuries would stop detailing Dallas pro franchises. 

And, lulz, at 3 of OKC's 8 losses 🫴 coming from the Mavs.

Mavs are in their heads...all there is to it.

They matchup so well. And add in they don't have any rim protection.

It could change in an instant though...the Suns owned the Mavs too until the playoff series when they got them in 7.

On a Mavs podcast this AM they said in the last 9 months OKC has lost 12 times. 7 of those are to the Mavs.  

I didnt double check.
