GDT Game 78 - Mavs (23-54) vs Blazers (48-29) 7:30pm FSSW - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Underdog · 04-03-2018, 07:06 AM

The finish line is in sight, let's keep this tank steady!

dirt_dobber · 04-03-2018, 07:12 AM

I'm with you on this - Blazers have a 3 game lead over SA for the 3rd seed.
And this from Bobby Karalla:
Of note tonight: Mavs possess Blazers' second round pick. Portland has improbably surged to fifth-best record in the league, meaning pick will likely come in the mid-50s.

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-03-2018, 04:45 PM

Come on boys! Do it to get this guy!!!

BPo001 · 04-03-2018, 07:55 PM

Can we please sit JJ for the remainder of the season? Dude is going to ruin our tank efforts.

Dude sure does keep the Mavs in the game, doesn't he?

BPo001 · 04-03-2018, 08:19 PM

Where did we get the Blazers 2nd round pick from?

He sure does. Not only by hitting shots, but he really improves the play of others around him (mainly Powell).

Devin Harris trade.

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-03-2018, 08:53 PM

Seriously, this better all be leading to a 4th quarter meltdown.

Sounds like Dirk is done for the night, Barea sitting next to him... Young guys gonna close out the game.

And if it's not JJ it's Yogi. Dude is hitting these stepback J's.

BPo001 · 04-03-2018, 09:23 PM

Seriously, Portland? Are you really going to lose to us?

Skywalker · 04-03-2018, 09:24 PM

Fuckin hell

Underdog · 04-03-2018, 09:28 PM

Kleber with the dagger?

BPo001 · 04-03-2018, 09:34 PM

Why hasn't McCollum gotten the ball? Lillard is tossing up bricks and Aminu just air balled a wide open 3.

I see you DSJ! That was dope.

K, DSJ with the dagger.

BPo001 · 04-03-2018, 09:47 PM

You have to be fucking kidding. The Orlando game just became a must lose, not thatvit wasn't already. I had this one chalked up as a guaranteed loss.

Skywalker · 04-03-2018, 09:49 PM

Magnum was right all along!!!

BPo001 · 04-03-2018, 09:49 PM

JJ and Yogi combined for 30pts on 12-18 shooting.

MavzMan · 04-03-2018, 09:52 PM

Remaining games:
Orlando
Detroit
Philadelphia
Phoenix

I can totally see us winning 3 of those. Finish the season 4-1. No words.

It may be time to become a cord cutter. The Mavs are about the only reason i pay for TV and I don't want to watch mediocrity for the next decade.

Thing is, we didn't even play a very good game -- Portland just shit the bed.

Underdog · 04-03-2018, 10:23 PM

Sucks we won, but give it up for DSJ... 18 points, 8 assists (1 TO), 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and this crazy shit right here to seal the win: https://twitter.com/dallasmavs/statu...60743735091200

Give me more of this for the next few years, thanks.

Melonhead · 04-03-2018, 10:31 PM

JJ is a tank killer.

Still preparing for that 7th pick.

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-03-2018, 10:45 PM

Ugh....

There is no excuse at this point. Mavs should be losing at all costs.

Bryan_Wilson · 04-03-2018, 10:59 PM

Melonhead · 04-03-2018, 11:38 PM

Hopefully the b2b tomorrow Mavs sit guys and tired legs. Must lose tomorrow, because that Suns game at home is a win.

Edit: DSJ sickkkk dunk

EDIT: DSJ is resting tomorrow per RC. Knee giving minor issues and don’t want to play b2b nights. You can bet Yogi and JJ are going full throttle tomorrow

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-03-2018, 11:43 PM

Smith is going to be a superstar. No doubt. But Goddamnit he needs a Bagley to play with!!!!

Thought Rick was talking about Dirk resting not DSJ? Could be wrong though.

Budapest Maverick · 04-04-2018, 06:41 AM

Why the eff are we playing Barnes, Dirk and Barea at this point? Sit their a** out. The Bulls didn't get a fine for that, right? Or even if they did, let's do it.

Or even just play them less. Barnes is still getting 34 mins. Play him 24. Play JJ 15 instead of 21

BPo001 · 04-04-2018, 08:40 AM

Ugh. I woke up still mad we won that game last night. No reason the young guys on the bench shouldn't play the majority of the minutes.

Looks like you were right. DSJ out tonight. The post game show said Dirk wasn't playing due to knee soreness.

DSJ got off to a rocky start this season and really didn't even offer much fantasy value at one point, but has had a better second half, scoring in double figures in every game since a four-point dud on March 11 and averaging 16.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.4 3-pointers on 45 percent shooting over his last five games. Unfortunately, the tanking Mavs will rest him on Wednesday against Orlando.

And we have a trio of others joining DSJ! Full tank ahead.
