GDT: Mavs @ TWolves 7PM CST
With the trade deadline looming will we see any Mavs sit out? Looks like Luka tried to take a nap in the hotel, but the sprinkler leaked in his room according to his IG.

Terry - personal reasons - out
WCS - Covid protocols - out
McLaughlin - questionable - COVID

These next 13 games Mavs have a chance to make up some ground towards a higher seed.
But you hate to see them sleep walking vs teams like Minnesota which allows them to stay in games and pull out wins.
This is why I questioned their consistency even doing this part of the schedule with lower teams to play.
Hopefully they get their act together because that 6th seed is within reach if they quit screwing around.

Luka is 0-7, and they are down by 2.

Solid half by KP (17 points) going toe to toe with KAT
Lawd knows they needed all of it.

Yeah, super flat first half which you halfway expect. Nice to see KP show some life. He needs the small wins to get his head right and build momentum - take it however we can. Now here is to hoping we take the 2nd half seriously and get the win.

Bingo!!!!
I know they aren't perfect but man you'd hate to see them squander a great chance to move up out of that play in seeding bracket because they let little games like this doing the season hold them back.
They need to start punishing teams like Minnesota and not give them any confidence because it can burn you late in the game.
I think the Lakers are going to take a hard fall without AD and LBJ and that's a small window opportunity for the Mavs to get that 6th seed by playing consistent b-ball over these next 13 games.

KP showing he's on KAT's level as a player they aren't that much different in terms of production.
KAT also has a tendency to be inconsistent not engaged enough.

They just said KP is top 10 in the league in post up attempts per game with 5. Is that true? Never would have guessed that.

I don't think KP is that far behind that total
I think KP gets a bad rep

I don't know who this guy is who has been playing tonight, but it's definitely not Luka. I didn't know he had a twin. Luka is like Brooke Lopez. This guy? Yeah... like Robin. Brooke and Luka are Batman.

Luka playing like @#$% and yet the Mavs are good
It's almost like people were talking about how this team sucked without Doncic.
KP looking great. Brunson looking like 6th man with 10-7-3

If KP ain't top 20 player then neither is Towns.
You can't tell me these two guys are that far apart in talent and production.
And I don't want to hear about consistent play because Towns is up and down as well and misses lots of games.

Very strong 3rd quarter
I'm shocked at how lethargic Luka looks

Look much better vs these inferior T-Wolves blow them out and rest your starters
That's how it should be because they flat out suck.

Like that last possession
Luka just meekly went into the corner and waited for everyone else to do their thing
Once there was an offensive rebound then Luka sparked to life and got an amazing assist

I know they missing Russell and Beasley but still with Towns and Edwards they suck A$$
KP out played Towns today and should've had 30+ of not for the blowout

The Wolves should be interested in Powell
He looks like a star against them

They should consider trading KAT for him and maybe some 2nd round picks. Totally a win for them.

Yeah he almost made me regret asking for him to come in.
Loved that lob play to Bey dude has really impressed me between the G-League and the few minutes he does get in the big league.

I know I'm in the minority here but I think KAT is kind of overrated.
He just seems dialed out too often IMO but the media doesn't really say much about it.
If he switched roles with KP and was in Dallas while shooting that many 3's or gave up some many layups I don't they would put up much fuss about it

i looked at the replay and there was a very blatant double dribble by hermangomez lol
i remember watching it and thinking "that looked funny..." - no wonder Maxi was up in the air and seemingly flailing

i agree - very talented scorer no question but doesn't seem to elevate his team. Edwards looks like he's the real deal or at least has the potential to be.

KAT fills the stats sheet but always plays horrible defense on garbage teams. So i have no idea how he would look on an actual competent team.
In other news: This season he gets a pass from me. Im pretty sure he just wants the season to be over after all the terrible personal stuff
