GDT: game 9 - Magic (6-3) at Mavs (4-4) 7:30 FSSW
First game home for the Mavs which can be the toughest. We also are going to have some lineup changes because of Covid that will continue over the next few weeks.
Magic started 4-0, but has cooled off to a reasonable 2-3 of late. They definitely miss the defense of Fultz.
Mavs started 1-3 in December and then in January so far have been 3-1-- a direct inverse.
Injury report - Mavs
KP - knee - close but ruled out of this game
Burke - sick (not Covid) - doubtful
Finney-Smith - Covid protocols - out
Brunson - Covid protocols - out
Richardson - Covid protocols - out
Three starters and a reserve out for us
Injury report - Mags
Fultz - ACL - out
Isaac - out
Okeke - out
Aminu - out
Fournier - questionable
Carter-Williams - out

Probable starters
WCS
Kleber
THJ
Burke
Doncic
I guess Burke is likely to play?

I’d love to see a Green start

We need 8 minimum and have 11 or are you hearing about the Magic?

Burke and THJ is a bad defensive tandem
I wouldn't be shocked if James Johnson or Green gets to start to give them at least one perimeter defender.

Oh, I haven't heard anything. I guess it's just my "glass half empty" mentality taking over.

Iwuwu starts for DFS, i expect THJ starts for Josh.
Rick prefers JJs ballhandling for the 2unit.

I'm quickly becoming a Green fan. He looks solid on D.

Nice handles by JJ on that finish. I've got no problem with him handling the ball.

That pick by Powell looked clean to me. What did he do that is not allowed?

Who is that guy who just dunked the ball? I don't recognize him. He looks good. Can't be Powell!

I feel bad for the 76ers and the league. How much longer can the league survive with teams down to as few as 7 players?

When Vuc is out, there's no size in middle, so he can make a play or 2.

Luka does not get any leash from refs. Guess the reputations is preceding him now.

Well, if that's what it takes to get them to call the dam fouls, then so be it. I do wish Rick would get after the refs, so Luka doesn't have to.

I just turned this game and the 1st thing I see is Luka crying as usual and then getting a tech
And before someone say's he was fouled, I get it but the problem is this guy doesn't help his situation by crying and whining after every single non call.
I mean it's cool if you want to complain about a few calls but this dude complains on every single call non call.
These ref's are going to screw us in the playoffs because they are not going to tloerate Luka's whining

I meant after the tech. He looked he lost it for a little bit after. The tech itself looked kind of weak. He must have said something really good.

Mavs playing a little ragged here. But so are the Magic, fortunately.

The Magic are more than doubling us up on FT attempts.

Can anybody tell me why it seems Powell and Maxi keep defending Vuk, and not WCS?

So I have a question
If a team is shoots poor all year from 3 and tonight they start 0-8 wouldn't you consider playing a little zone just to force them to shoot outside more?

It’s very clear that wasn’t just a playoff bubble thing for Trey. Glad he’s bringing the offense tonight.

Well, I have to say, JJ looks quite a bit better on offense than defense.

If Orlando continues to shoot this poor from deep 2/15 the Mavs should blow this game wide open.
They are basically just putting their head down and driving or dumping it inside to Vuc.
Double him more or sag off their shooters because they are terrible from outside.
