Mavs sitting key players vs Chicago
A must win game, how in the world does the team sit guys with the playoffs on the line? I get that most here seem to embrace them losing last 2 but if this team was serious about winning, Josh Green, Cwood, and Kyrie should be out there. Seems like they banking on Memphis tanking tomorrow night.

I agree with you 💯 %
Unfortunately we are in the minority here
Most other fans prefer to see the team lose and then sit around and Cuban fuck on a high draft pick
I have absolutely no faith in this FO turning that pick into a top rank player. In fact I see them drafting a guy that will either turn into a bust or take 3 years just to contribute
By that time Luka might already have 1 foot out the door
Having said I hope Luka fucks up their plans tonight and go for 60 points in a win
I thought them days of missing the playoffs again were over after luka's rookie season and they would enjoy a long streak similar to Dirks teams that went like 10+ years of making the playoffs
I mean who wants to sir around and watch the fucking nba playoffs if your favorite team is sitting the fuck at home

I appreciate the desire a few of you have to see this shit show tossing up prayers on a national stage in a play in game. But I must ask you, WHEN has this team, coach, FO just did shit that makes sense this season? Everyone sits and Luka plays only 1st QRTR if true? NOW?! NOW?! When Slovenians drove from slovenia all the way here to worship him? Everyone's "hurt" all the sudden. Lol. Fvck off Mavs. They deserves exactly what you are saying Dall41. To sit around and watch the rest of the league play, to sit and stew all summer just like we all have to .

I don?t understand the logic. If they have a chance, keep playing till its mathematically impossible. Not the ?no give up? team. Not the attitude I want on the Mave.

Cuban should at least give all Slovenians their gas money back.

It seems quite dumb to have scheduled Slovenian night on one of the last two games of the season. Whether your team is good or not, these games are often likely to be non games for your starters.

They just don't know what they are doing.

I'm starting to think that maybe Cuban does dictate lineups.

He should be forced to stand on the court in a dress and clown make up and apologize to the entire arena then have all Slovenians line up to get cash for gas.

Because if okc wins vs grizzlies they?ve 100% lost the play in and the pick. This way, they give themselves a chance at retaining the pick.
Unfortunately they waited until after they beat the Kings. I?m just glad that the dumbass cuban can?t hide behind Dallas media anymore. Having Kyrie and Luka puts a spotlight on the team coach and the gm.

I really do believe now that Cuban told Kidd not to start Wood because they didn't want to pay him. That makes almost too much sense.

Who cares about the pick?? It won?t be a franchise changer anyway. It is the message that is being sent

Not many people cared about the pick until we kept deepthroating Losses. Then it became painfully obvious that we needed to just keep losing. Meanwhile we are try hards until we reach the point of no return. Then shut it down. Lol.

Memphis is losing to Milwaukee
Theoretically if the kings win tonight and Memphis lose tonight the game on Sunday by Memphis and OKC would still have bearing on the 2nd seed for Memphis
This is why the decision to sit everyone was just dumb ass fuck

Mavs eliminated from play in
One more loss will guarantee sole 10
A win and we may be tied for 10/11/12
Fate is in our hands

You know what be carma
Since they tanked the guy they draft turns out to be a straight bust.
I can actually see that happening with this organization
Get everyone happy and excited to claim the 10th pick in the draft and then they fuck up on the draft pick

Either way the pick has value. We could jump up in the top 4 (though very unlikely) Also, some team may LOVE a guy at 10 and offer us two first round picks for 10. Or we could package the pick with 2027 for a pseudo-star. Or we can keep the pick and draft a good player. This is a good draft. If we keep the pick it?s hard to fuck up.

Tanking makes me sick to my stomach but I get it especially this year. They are going to look like fools if they get the 11th pick. This is a deep draft though you get a good pick in it like a top 10? It makes sense for the Mavs. I just don?t get why they didn?t commit to tanking sooner.

Odds are the pick will be a bust. Most years a lot of top 10 picks are busts?.but they will get a good prospect regardless.
