Haha I like the 3rd point, I'll try to interact tonight.
Julius on a winning streak, can't be stopped.
I wonder if the Joker plays tonight or not...

The least they can do since we don't have KP is not play Joker. Boban is the Joker stopper lol so maybe we get by with his large efforts

I’ll miss the game, but hopefully this team starts to gel. I want to see more Frankie.

Gotta love how we're 3-1, but we keep on dropping in every power rankings. We dropped from 11th to 15th on Bleacher Report, 10th to 16th on CBS Sports, etc. All because our offense went from being a league's best over the last 2 seasons to 22nd in the NBA this season.

Loving the defensive effort by this team.
They get to rough starts because they aren't hitting shots but I like that in every game this year minus the opener they have played some solid defense to offset poor shooting.
I was also happy to see Kidd continue to give Frank some minutes dude has impressed me.
He's exactly what I think the team was expecting from Richardson & Wright on that end of the floor.

If we keep on winning like this, then we'll be 30th in power rankings in no time. I'd like to imagine us being 10-1 but somehow still playing under the radar.

Mile high baby - tough on a B2B. Most of our starters played in the low 30 min range last night. Hope Joker does not play.
Love to see more Maxi and less Powell.

S. Brown was injured and Green still didn't get one minute.
Kidd saving Green to wreck the Nugs tonight.

Dallas Mavericks PR: Sterling Brown (left ankle sprain) and Kristaps Porzingis (low back tightness) will both miss tonight’s game in Denver. Boban Marjanović (low back tightness) is probable. – via Twitter MavsPR
Brad Townsend: Kidd says Trey Burke is not ill. He missed part of his COVID protocol sequence, so he’s out tonight. But he will travel with the team to Denver. – via Twitter townbrad

Refused the vaccine and didn't get tested in time to play yesterday. He should be cleared to play tonight.

Need to know what hotel effed up our bigs backs, KP and Boban with lower back tightness. Dang. But I'm sure it's a recurring issue in 7+ footers.

Accommodating Trey Burke is tiresome. Cut his ass and get some veteran leadership on the roster.

I liked the Brunson/Ntilikina/Bullock/Maxi/WCS lineup last night.
Their defense got us back in the game and seemed to set the tone.
Brunson's Barea style of play with a bunch of defenders seems like it has a chance to be a solid 2nd unit throughout the season.

What's the over/under on the lead we're going to give up in the first six minutes?

Because defense only matters when they bash you for not playing any. Otherwise our improved defense is not as cool as our previous top 8 offense. I'd rather have a top 10 offense and top 11 defense myself.

Accommodating Burke? Please. The issue he's just not that good. No one can justify Burke getting mins over Frankie.

I agree Burke isn't good enough to play even if available... so why keep him on the roster? He's ultimately a liability and his inability to participate regularly hurts the team. Cut him.

My guess is they're keeping him more for his salary that can be used in trades.

Man why does Powell play so soft? That achilles injury really did a number on him.

Another slow start offensively, but not as bad as last night.

Mavs gotta get another ball handler. They are just getting lucky right now and Luka being Luka. That Bullock turnover was awful.

Man, we have great defense now but DFS missing a layup just flat out cancels that out.

I'm about fed up with this starting unit
They don't value possessions and they don't care to play any defense to start out games
It's like they play in cruise control without any worries in the world

What will it take to bench Powell? It's just depressing.

I just don't think you can get away with Luka, THJ and Powell defensively to start off games together.

Opened at -2 as well. Please prove me wrong Mavs, because I was too lazy to drive to the casino and lay the Nuggets

Been wanting to use Brunson in trades since he’s our main asset but he looks even better than last season. Starting off the year with more facilitating.

They need to re-define flagrant fouls because that ain’t it.

We have so many one dimensional players it's not even funny. A bunch of bench 3&D guys.
