Mavs (43-28) vs. TimberWolves (42-30) - 'playoffs' start tonight
Timberwolves are extremely hot and come in with the best record over the past 10 games. KAT may be an immature, annoying child, but the last ten games he's averaged almost 30 PPG on 55 FG% and 45 3P% (!!!). Powell will absolutely have his hands full.
Mavs need to win to avoid the play-in tournament. KAT tends to play well against us, but Brunson tends to play well again the Wolves. We are a very different team from the one they saw in December. Let's make it happen.
P.S. sorry EL, given the recent slump I figured we needed to change it up... MFFL

MIN has now moved into 6th in West.
No team plays faster, shoots and makes more 3ptrs, forces more turnovers, and gets more points off those turnovers than MIN.
It's a lot like playing MEM or CHA. Mavs handled MEM well. CHA? Not so much. What happens tonight?

Hey I'm not upset. I was on a roll, but those last two losses were ROUGH.
Hopefully you have some good mojo.

Moving to 6th would actually be a blessing, but unfortunately Denver is right there too.
Would be a colossal failure if we landed in a play in.

Actually afraid of this game. Another team with a big that can punish our front court.
At least Spence is playing

Where does the immature and annoying child label come from? I havent noticed this, and honestly have you seen what he's gone through in the last two years? Luka has been the consistent immature/annoying on the court to an extent. Hopefully the last few games are a good sign.

I was confused by that too. If anything, he's been a fairly mature and outspoken leader. I know he had a reputation as a bad teammate when things were bad, but since they've started winning, I've only heard good things.
I know he talked @#$% about the Lakers, but honestly, I eat that up. If that's the only negativity he's shown, then I applaud him.

No reason to believe we get this one. Maxi has been utter garbage and the rest of our non SD and Luka supporting cast is liable to drop off a cliff at a moments notice.
Hope we do though.

Any fan that shows up to the arena gets a MFFL medal as they drove through tornado warnings if they came from the north.

Will the Mavs ever start a game well?
Props to Kidd for making good adjustments but sucks to be going down 5+ every first quarter

Didn't need that highlight reel pass from Luka to DFS
Just a simple pass would have been a good play. Can't have careless turnovers in a playoff type game tonight

Come Luka stop the turnovers please
And the mavs need to find a way to get Kleber more shots inside off pick/roll or backdoor cuts
Dude has lost all his confidence from outside

Is KAT really whining about a non-call on a play where he dunked and Green was 8’ behind him?

I stand by KAT being annoying.
Kleber is borderline unplayable. 30/20/60 splits his last 8 game. Just give his minutes to Chriss.

Is Luka trying to see what the Mavs can do without him or are they really keeping him from scoring that well?
0pts and 4TO

We look like Carlisle's Mavs out there. No defense, poor shooting, rushed 3s. Please stop subjecting my eyes to this.

Turned it with 3 min left and all I saw was absolute empty possessions.
Seems like a lot of the steam from january has dissipated

Naz Reid would be our best big.
Every time I'm about to make a derogatory statement about Kleber on offense he does something on defense.

SD is right to be pissed
SD hammered. No call. Howell forces all contact and he gets FTs

I still believe they could do something else to help him score different.
Not sure why he's not used more as a roll man.
