GDT: Mavs may still blow it against Kings

[EricaLubarsky]

Still out
Luka - ankle/COVId
THJ - COVId
Kleber - COVId
Burke - COVId
WCS - Who knows?
McLaughlin - COVId

Bullock returns. Luka, THJ, Kleber should be cleared to play tomorrow.

Kings basically not missing anyone.

How do the Mavs mess this one up?

Is Luka's ankle healed, or is he just cleared from Covid?

[BPo001]

Mavs signed IT? Shit. What’s Jeremy Lin doing? Hell give Barea a jersey if we are going to sign undersized guards.

Undersized guards better than players that stand 0' 0". I think IT probably a pretty good pickup all things considered. They are on about the D list of players available at this point.

Well, you kinda answered your own question, although replacement Mavs have been playing really well, and team has been playing really well with them.

It's gonna be interesting to see what they do when others return, and those 10 day contracts are up. I especially like Chriss and Knight. Both are VERY hungry to get on a team, and clearly showing they can contribute.

[EricaLubarsky]

Boban and Knight both tested positive and will be out 5+ days

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs regular roster available
Porzingis
Brunson
Bullock
Green
S.Brown
M.Brown
Franky smokes
Powell

That’s it for guys we didn’t sign out of hardship

[Melonhead]

Does being out with covid count as part of Knights 10 day contract?

I hope his most recent game was enough to get him for the rest of the season. He should get picked up if not. Never know with Cuban.

Chriss should as well. Maybe Pinson to a 2 way.

Just say NO to IT. Think he’s a really nice dude but his hip surgeries prematurely ended his career.

Isn't it a little late to say no to IT?

IT is inevITable

[thewizard]

Who has a Mavs stream? All I can find is the Kings broadcast.

[EricaLubarsky]

This team is embarrassing

[BPo001]

Don’t love IT chucking 3’s with 20 sec in the shot clock.

[EricaLubarsky]

Just took a 10pt lead into a 7pt deficit in record time.

If this team was a dog, Travis Coates would have taken it out back and shot it

[EricaLubarsky]

Outscored by 22 in the quarter.

Blow this shit up

[EricaLubarsky]

To do a little couch coaching here

Maybe you don’t wanna allow 50% shooting from another terrible team

[EricaLubarsky]

We’ll we play the Kings again Friday. Some good chances to be absolutely unwatchable then too.

[BPo001]

DODOOOOO!

[EricaLubarsky]

Powell missed both FTs

Barnes ties it

Mavs really want to blow it

[EricaLubarsky]

Inability to rebound again let’s the other team have a chance

[EricaLubarsky]

Green with his second huge block

[EricaLubarsky]

Green gets pulled

Brunson misses. Fox lays it up.

Kings come back to go up 2 with 1:22

[EricaLubarsky]

Brunson ties it with the pull-up

Powell with a block

KP has a chance to get us the lead

[EricaLubarsky]

KP ices two

Mavs up 2 with 33s

Kings now are going to make a three

[EricaLubarsky]

And we turn it over

Up two and Kings have 4s to drop a three on us

[EricaLubarsky]

Called it

[Melonhead]

Just blow the fuck out of the last possession.

Perfect GDT title

[BPo001]

Lol. I just knew we would lose on a buzzer beating 3.

[EricaLubarsky]

It wouldn’t be so easy to call losses if the Mavs didn’t do it every single damn time

Almost cheering for losses now because it may make Cuban do something

[Dallas41]

Fucking Powell had no reason to leave the 3 point shooter wide open.

The layup doesn't hurt you the 3 does

[Melonhead]

Nba tv Brendan Haywood says if Porzingis even hits rim, SAC don’t have enough time to run that play. Amazing how they chump that after doing everything else right before that. Brunson pull up, great rebound, KP free throws, rebound….

[EricaLubarsky]

I’d wager $30 that Powell outlasts Kidd

Pretty crazy that they couldn’t even get a decent shot on that possession. JB passed to KP who had to rush up a shot to not get a 24 sec violation. Oh well. As someone else said hopefully if we keep losing Cuban is forced to make a move if he wants to be competitive.

[EricaLubarsky]

7-13

On pace for a pretty mediocre late lottery pick

I really hope Green continues to get minutes when Bullock comes back.

[SMC0007]

1. You don't go to KP in a set that far away from the basket. He hadn't had much success vs anyone really all game. JB is the guy for that situation. PnR or iso and attack.

2. The quick foul I don't like. Especially if they're that far away from the basket.

3. You can't give up the open 3 as a final shot...Powell. Idk if it was his instincts kicking in or if that was the strategy but it was dumb. Doesn't matter what Metu or anyone else 3pt% is, if it drops its game over and massively deflating.

All the strategy and late situational subs to end up with the players botching the final 2 possessions. Such a waste. I'd rather them play for making them tie the game and you don't let Dorian foul in case it goes to OT.

Josh Green was good again

Yes because Green could become a serviceable role player by time Luka leaves for the Lakers in 2 years. Green in year 4 will be a borderline starter.

I actually think they should make the decision to start him in place of Bullock.

He does offer better passing, cutting, rebounding and defense. Since they refuse to remove Powell from the starting lineup, hopefully Green's play lately convinces them to move Bullock back to the bench.
