The Kings suck so we might have a chance to actually win a close game lol

[FreshJive]

Lol. This team. Dorian with the useless screen, and Luka looks afraid to shoot.

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs are now shooting below 20% from three for the second time in two games.

[EricaLubarsky]

Lol fouling THJ for three

[EricaLubarsky]

when Kleber defends, Kleber scores

[Scoobay]

i like how he keeps his feet and doesn't go for fakes - he may hit a few over him but he still makes it tough

[Skywalker]

The German Shepherd

[Dallas41]

Man Sacramento might be worse than Dallas in terms of late game execution and decision making.

How many more games do we get to play them?

[Melonhead]

Are the Mavs coming from behind a winning a game in crunch time? Unfathomable

[NeedlesKane]

Imagine if I started watching sooner... lmao... fans thinking they have something to do with team success

[Skywalker]

Huge play by dfs

So it was YOUR fault we looked so bad earlier!

I'm going to pretend that that's a compliment for the Mavs.

[Skywalker]

Luka statpadding

[NeedlesKane]

20 rebounds! Unreal!

[MFFL]

Triple doubles are amazing but 20-20 games are super rare

[EricaLubarsky]

Remember when Dampier got a max contract because one season he averaged 10reb.

[EricaLubarsky]

30-20

Dirk and Perk

Now Luka

[Skywalker]

Can't believe we pulled this one out. Fair play tbh

[NeedlesKane]

I am rewatching this game when it gets uploaded. Thank you Mavs for taking care of business. Sorry Barnes. I still like you.

Luka gets supermax though.

The kings pulled a mavs on us

They went the last 5 minutes of regulation without scoring lol

They had a bunch of terrible possessions and Ill advised shots

But honestly I thought the kings were one of several teams who were God awful and really had no business of being invited to the restart because they are just that bad

Concur. You saw the best part Kane

[Dallas41]

So are we locked into 7th seed no matter what or can we still avoid the clippers with some help?

I appreciate your recommendation, but I need to watch a regular season Mavericks win from start to finish. I will appreciate the fact that they had their early struggles but pulled ahead for the win. Also how often do you get to see a 30/20/10 Luka triple double?

Someone, give Leonard Covid-19! OMG... I'm the worst for even suggesting such a thing. It'll be nice to at least be in the playoffs, right?

we are not locked technically but it will be very hard to move up. Clippers can still fall too but its unlikely again

Lou tried his best

[Skywalker]

Walton unexplicably deciding to not play Hield for those last 5min gave us the chance to win this one tbh

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Barnes and Bog combine for 9 points total. Wow.

Glad we pulled it out, but maybe start Burke instead of Barea next game. Thanks.

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs have 5 games left
-2 for 6 seed (overtake OKC)
+8 for 8th seed (statistically impossible)

No chance of cropping to 8. Little chance of moving up to 6.

Clippers have 6 games left (currently losing to Suns)
-6 to 1st seed (Lakers would have to lose all six and Clippers come back vs. Suns and win the last five)
+1.5 to 3rd seed (Nuggets are hot, so it's unlikely but possible.)

[NeedlesKane]

BTW... I feel bad for not adding any of you as friends before today. Really, all of you are my friends. I just feel like my empty friends list should do a 180 and include all of you.

[NeedlesKane]

Magic Johnson never had more than 17 rebounds in a game. Keep that in mind. I think this is the 3rd highest rebounding total ever for a point guard. Fat Lever had the most with 22 and 21.
