GDT game 59 - Mavs (23-35) at Heat (27-32) 7:30 FSSW

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs come in having won one. Heat are on a three game winning streak and 8-2 over last ten

Injuries
Barea - hamstring - close (this week)

[sefant77]

Fuck D Wade

[Sportstudi]

This might be finally the time I am able to watch a Mavs game again. So much to do during the last months... getting older and being 7 hours ahead of Central Time doesn't help either.

@thesmokingcuban: Rick Carlisle says both Quinn Cook & Ben Bentil will be active tonight

I wonder how active... especially if Salah turns on the foul machine again.

A PG and an SF aren't going to help man the center spot but I still hope to see them when we're up 35 in the fourth

I have a midterm that begins in 30 minutes, and it's my birthday today. I will put on my Beat the Heat shirt from 2011 and hope that they deliver.

Do we want a win?

[NeedlesKane]

I don't care who is on the Heat now. Yes, I do.

I'll always hate the Heat. Having said that I think it would be hilarious if they finished ahead of the Bulls in the East. Eff Wade.

[Bryan_Wilson]

Guaranteed win.

Book it.

Looking more forward to watching this game than any previous in a while.

[yahyes]

I want to Noel to strive against Whiteside. Noel is a fully established player now and could really look good using his athleticism against Whiteside.

[Bryan_Wilson]

Another home game... another home cooked meal for the away team from the stripes.

[EricaLubarsky]

Tell me we aren't tanking

[sefant77]

d-league guy instead of Devin...yeah we are tanking

[Bryan_Wilson]

Cuban basically said we were tanking with youth but trying to still win games with said youth.

Gotta stop the penetration. Putting Noel in a bad spot...cant help off Whiteside.

Dang it. You're right. Eff Wade!

[EricaLubarsky]

Not pretty but I love the hustle

[sefant77]

Yeah Dwight has no place anymore on this team.

[Bryan_Wilson]

With Bogut and Dwill gone we aren't going to lose as mnay games....

Also I rly view +- as a lineup stat but man... DFS is ALWAYS leading or one of the team leaders in +- when he gets significant minutes. That can't be a coincidence.

He's too old now, isn't he?

[yahyes]

It needs more Noel under the rim while our offense gets going

Honestly I think Noel will get more rim opportunities when JJ is back. That's one thing I've noticed from these guards, they aren't great at spotting the brief window that it's there.

[sefant77]

Yeah, Barea is gonna make it much easier for Noel.

And Noel isnt really lucky with his opponents. First two games, he barely knows the plays and boom: Davis/Cousins/Whiteside...

Well we really don't need to see Cook play when Devin, Seth, and Yogi are doing good.

10 days, so they kinda need to see him.

[AO41]

Matthews not doing much...too many TOs

[AO41]

Matthews again messes up on the rebound

[rimrocker]

We are full of energy tonight....love the youth movement.

Just unfortunate play with him and Noel trying to grab the rebound.

[rimrocker]

Noel is gonna be incredible when he puts on more muscle.

[NeedlesKane]

They must be trying to lose. Powell is on the floor.

[NeedlesKane]

I don't get why Dirk's defense is totally ineffective on the perimeter.

[rimrocker]

As young as we are with 6 rookies, Noel is our youngest player.

[Melonhead]

Mavs going with the nobody can score method.

[rimrocker]

This team is fun to watch.

[Bryan_Wilson]

Well if they want to win they should maybe go to Barnes and Curry. Idk though....
