GDT: MAVS vs CAVS 7:30PM
Your 4th place Mavs (10-8) take on the Cavs (10-10) tonight.
Kidd said that Maxi is playing well but for now Willie is the starting Center.
Mavs probable starters: Luka Doncic, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dorian Finney-Smith, Kristaps Porzingis, Willie Cauley-Stein
Cavs: Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Lauri Markkanen, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen
Idc what the line says, this game is going to be tough. They have some weapons with size that could be a problem. We really need to get this one and get back some momentum and catch a win streak.

Mavs primary issues in losing 4 of last 5 have been 4th qtr defense where opp has shot 54%. They play CLE tonight & in last 6 outings they haven't had to worry about 4th qtr as they've won by 21.2 avg (27.3 in last 4).
Mavs really need their bigs to be active tonight as CLE starts the tallest front line in @NBA in Markkanen, Mobley & Allen who go 7-0, 7-0 & 6-11 respectively. Mobley is the early leader for Rookie of Yr. Texas-ex Allen avg 15-11. In 4 games vs DAL Markkanen avg 21.8-10 on 54% FG

What is coop talking about in Cavs last 6 outings they've won by 21.2? He lost me. They lost 4 straight before just beating Orlando.

Welp. With Willy out, I'm hoping for a Kleber start but nothing makes sense anymore so we shall see Powell.

Thought Frankie had a calf injury? Slightly worse than hammy unfortunately.

Unfortunately, Markkanen was literally the last decent available FA. Mavs never seem to have an actual plan B in free agency.

The bar that Moses has to beat to leapfrog WCS and Powell.

Like I said, nothing makes sense. From constant dnpcd to starter. Same odd approach with Willie, he stinks and looks very g league and then all the sudden a starter. I'm not dissing Kidd but it doesn't make sense. I get that Cavs have a big lineup but all the sudden Mose is ready to start coming from 12 dnpcd and 4 games under 3 mins. 1 game this season he got 8 mins. Lol shit is wild in the NBA

Just don't permanently yank him if he picks up two quick fouls. This will be a test on whether Kidd pulls a Rick or not.

I don't think the plan is to play him actual normal starter minutes. Willie "started" but played 17 and 10 mins.

Also. Reggie Bullock sucks. He's like the g league or the slump version of THJ.

If Moses plays either of those minutes, then it's a huge success for him.

I don’t get why Maxi can’t start. It was the same with Carlisle.

I expect Powell to play 20+ minutes tonight and grab 2 rebounds

I was actually going to watch the game and buy league pass when I heard Moses was starting, but I tuned in late to check an internet feed and saw Powell playing. Needless to say, I didn't buy League Pass, and I'm going to binge watch some Xanxia drama. LOL

Knicks won't play Kemba Walker anymore. Bullock for Walker?
I'd seriously trade anyone not named KP or Luka at this point.

At this point the Mavs need to just package all of their centers and trade them for anything they can get.
You can make an argument that they would have been better off just signing J.McGee and living with him for a full year.

Part of me doesn't even want to see Luka have to bail them out again because it's everything that is wrong with this team. Everyone is shit, and he has to do it all....again. It's just frankly not fun to watch.

36% FG
23% 3pt
44% FT
I’m not sure we’re even NBA team. Heading toward a league-worst 1-5. Maybe getting healthy wasn’t the issue

Honestly I think a guy like Tristian Thompson might be sneaky good pickup for Dallas.
He's a physical hard playing guy who can actually finish inside.
Cubes probably won't even bother though because he's all about that locker room chemistry and good boy attitude.
I'd throw Powell, Kleber, Bullock, Brunson & Green at them if it could net you a combination of Hield, Thompson/Bagley

I'd keep my eye on Jonas. Pelicans are bad enough that you might be able to get him for the right price.

Fo crying out loud how long will it take for Cuban to get Luka a FT shooting coach
I'm sure Holger could work with him

THJ in the paint decides to pass the ball all the way out to kleber who proceeds to clank the 3
Team outside of Luka is 1/18 from 3 point range and yet we pass up a shot inside the paint.

Pathetic display at home.
Sad thing is the lazy crowd doesn't either bother to boo their ass off the floor to make Cuban aware of the situation.
Maybe fans need to stop showing up and until the FO gets the message
Guys like Powell and Bullock have no busy continuing to get minutes when they bring absolutely nothing to the table.
THJ got paid and decided to take the 1st 20 games of the season off
