GDT: game 59 - Mavs (33-25) at Raps (22-36) 6:30pm
If the Mavs blow this game, Kidd should be fired before he reaches the tunnel.

Tonight can be the potential for a turning point in the Luka era.
Now we expect a hangover and a struggle. Normally, this is a ?scheduled? loss after what happened a few hours ago.
They could show tonight how serious they are if they can bounce right back and win.
Not expecting Exum to have much of an impact, Kidd can?t integrate new pieces.

What's the over and under for Gafford minutes?
If Gafford gets 20+ minutes, then Mavs win. Under 15, they lose. If 15-20 minutes then its 50/50.
Kidd has to learn if the opponent goes small, it doesn't mean you have to match them and also go small Maxi ball. I anticipate 20 minutes (give or take) of Olynyk at the 5. Whatcha gonna do JKidd?

Yup. Maxi can contribute if you don't ask him to do too much. He starts to contribute with limited minutes. Kidd plays him more. Maxi production trends downward, Kidd still gives him the same minutes. Then.....Maxi gets injured (or reinjures). Same story year in year out.

Will Maxi being out be an addition by subtraction? Really will be interesting to see how Gafford and Lively respond.

Silver gave those refs a raise. He got them riveting television and highlights to promote his investment.
Just gotta remember that this is sports entertainment and not sports.

This would be a good Load Management game to sit out our head coach.

Work from home is big. If he's just watching, I'm sure he has a 70" TV at home.

Refs were horrendous both ways. Green should definitely have been called for a foul on the play where Garland got the timeout.
We lost the game because of Kidd's idiotic coaching and THJ cheating off Strus 59 times in a row because he has the basketball IQ of a toddler. You can't fix stupid.

I would not have expected Luka would be oh-fer and PJ would be carrying the team offensively.

I was expecting him to have a rough night tbh. 41 minutes and an amazing game wasted last night.

Don't let Luka high five THJ. His bricks have infected Luka.

I'm watching Toronto broadcast. They keep referring to Luka as the MVP. For real. Like it's obvious that he is the MVP.

Show proper stats with Luka in company with Wilt and Jordan as the youngest player with the most 45+ games.

And that's curious because I thought that sort of talk was prohibited around the NBA.

Kyrie does zero playmaking. That's what is missing in this game. He makes plays for himself but he doesn't control the ball and engage others. And he is generally often like that.
