I just want see this team make a conservative effort to stop guys from just getting into the paint and getting what ever shot they want.....
I also would like to see guys play through a bad call and continue to play defense instead of just completely stopping while their man proceeds to get wide open shot.
Stuff like that will get you beat in the playoffs if you can't find away to play through adversity.

I agree, But it's too late for a drastic change. We are what we are with what we have.

With all the 1st round exits prior to 2011 and after I think most of us would just be content with just getting to the 2nd round.

might as well get used to lack of rebounding on the defensive glass with Powell starting at C
Jeez they gave up like 4 offensive boards already with him in the middle

There’s 4 other guys on the court too. It’s not only Powell’s fault.

Clippers straight up throwing the last two games to avoid the Lakers. Bitches.

Well if they don't care about winning this game (which they clearly dont) then I wont be bothered about it either tbh. Pathetic but it is what it is

Why are we mad at them?
It's not like the Mavs didn't blow games all year that they should have won vs lesser teams which left them in this situation to possibly face the Clippers.
No sense in getting upset with another team making decisions that they fill is best for them.

40 point 1st qtr damn near allowed
The starting lineup will be one of the worst defensive lineups going into the playoffs and it will be compounded by the fact that we can't defensive rebound very well with that lineup.
I expect then to try and win playoff games in a shootout with that lineup

Shouldve just sat the starters. Wouldve been better for team morale at least.

Mavs stay in 5th because they won their division

Is Maxi out for the playoffs? Did I miss something?

LOL
He's not going to fix this issue
He hasn't all year and his defense hasn't been nearly as good this year
So I hope you aren't expecting a single individual player to make that big of difference.
Besides he's been replaced by Powell in the starting lineup anyway

Porzingis needs to go to the bench. Mavs struggle so hard with athletic teams. Clips will probably sweep us.

Haven’t seen anything about being out for the season. Saw he was out this game with an achilles injury.

Yeah. I assume he’s just resting to make sure he’s ready.

I think Powell replaced Maxi like 3-4 weeks ago
It's been heading that way for awhile.....
Maxi hasn't really played the same as last year either and our rebounding flaws won't improve with Maxi

Go back and check over the past month
Maxi hasn't been starting even when he was healthy.
I think he's coming off the bench in the playoffs

I looked it up. Only his last two games on 5-11 and 5-12 where he was limited minutes wise after returning from a 4 game absence.

Minn is shooting lights out from 3.
Minn broadcast just called THJ an excellent defender. He must not watch many Dallas games.

The Dallas Mavericks have won 12 of their last 15 games. The hot streak has clinched them a place in the top six in the Western Conference and has the Mavs playing their best basketball at the right time. They have done significant portions of it without Maxi Kleber. The forward has missed six games in that stretch and has not looked himself in others.
Coach Carlisle had this to say about the injury during his pregame media availability on May 14.
“He’s been battling a lot of little things on and off. This Achilles thing has been quote-un-quote manageable to an extent. It’s gotten into a bit of a yo-yo good days bad days thing. It’s tough for a guy who really depends on his quickness to guard smaller guys on switches, to protect the rim, to rebound.”

I guess Luka got himself benched? Or was he only supposed to play 11 first half minutes?

Lakers now deciding if the Mavs end up #5 or #6
Can see them resting their main guys since Portland is going to win for sure.
Same time Clippers probably cant outtank OKC

Right. So when he’s healthy he’s been the starter. He hasn’t been replaced.

I've never thought a lineup of Powell and THJ starting together was going to stop anyone
It's quite clear RC has decided that he's going to try and get this team to win games with the so called #1 offense from last year
Look at that starting lineup we used to close out the season and it's exactly the same lineup they used before Powell going down last year and people proclaimed them the best offense in the NBA.
I think they have all but giving u[ trying to find a competent defense because Richardson didn't really fix much

Another rebound by KAT because guess who didn't box him out again
Well hopefully KP can keep his shooting touch heading into the playoffs
