GDT: Mavs @ Nuggets - 8PM Central

[Bryan_Wilson]

Simba with 2 blocks. Surprised RC hasn't used him at 5 yet this season for even smaller small ball.

[yahyes]

Lee should primarily play PF. He isn't much of a center unless you mix him up with Mejri.

[Melonhead]

If the defense can keep playing well in stretches and will Barton stops nailing 3s....I think the mavs could win a game!

[Bryan_Wilson]

Denver sure trying to make it easy for us. Dirk just 2/10 and no Dwill or Parsons... someone or a group of someone's need to step up.

[Melonhead]

Get Zaza goofy ass out of there.
Powell don't shoot ever again.
Insert Mejri

[Bryan_Wilson]

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMBA

[Bryan_Wilson]

Wouldn't be a mavs game without a bullshit 3.

[BPo001]

Can't let them got a clean look like that to end the quarter.

[Melonhead]

Damn Will.

Turnovers; Mavs 1, Denver 18...

I'm nervous, this should already be in the bag.

Our only TO came mere moments after EL brought up us not turning it over.


*knocks on wood*

[Melonhead]

Only dirk will be able to finish this game off

[Melonhead]

Zaza pushes off more than any big. Or at least makes it obvious to the refs every time

And Villanueva. Just wait for it.

By the way Utah are in trouble against the Lakers. Only up by 40.

[ActionJackson]

I'm afraid of G.Harris, Barton and Augustin.

JJ has been pretty good tonight.

Nervous times. Trying to keep myself calm while listening to Eagles-One of these Nights (Live Washington '77). Just brilliant.

[BPo001]

Powell and Simba throwing them down tonight!

[Bryan_Wilson]

Simba and Powell athleticism and energy.

[Skywalker]

Cotdamn Powell.

[BPo001]

If Powell can consistently knock down that midrange J he can be a solid piece going forward.

[Melonhead]

Excuse me

Only Powell will be able to save us

[Mandyahl]

my boy dwight powell! feeling it right now.

Watching it tonight it really seems like a comfort and confidence issue. He has great form they just weren't falling. Guess I need to lighten up on him.

[ActionJackson]

If I'm not mistaken we haven't shot any free throws in the second half?

[Skywalker]

McGeeber with the mojo goods

[Melonhead]

Can already hear Rick post game:

"The stars aligned for the rookies. Got to stay ready. DNP CD next game for both."

*Carlisle actually coached well tonight esp letting Powell play through his misses.

Hahaha I like it.

[ActionJackson]

That's good enough! Powell, Barea and CV with good performances.

Sacramento-Portland; Rondo, Boogie and Gay aren't playing. Disgusting franchise.

The rookie also did quite well. And I see what you did there.

To be fair, they had a really tough game yesterday and need to rest up for the lottery.

And, as most of you are probably aware of, there is also this: Rondo's mission: Keep Mavs out of playoffs too

Yep, that's the CV most of us want to see.

True, Anderson was very solid.

[mavErika]

^credit to Rick for giving the people what they want in this one

[Melonhead]

Added Anderson: “I could easily say things like, ‘I could have been doing this all year,’ but who wants a teammate like that? Who wants to coach anyone like that? That’s just not in my DNA. Coach knows what he’s doing with my development, and I trust him with it.

What a professional.

[Underdog]

@espn_macmahon: Rick Carlisle on Justin Anderson: "If you look at our plus-minus and stuff like that over the last few games, he's one of our most productive players. Forget the fact that he's a rookie. He's delivering. He's delivering with hard, simple play and playing within himself. He's earned the respect of his teammates, and he's earned the respect of the coaching staff, too. You never fully get it as a rookie. It's going to be a learning process, but he's slowed the game down and he's doing some very good things right now."

[Underdog]

@MFollowill: Rick Carlisle moved into top 20 in NBA history in coaching wins last night. He passed Flip Saunders, winning his 655th game

Excellent irony in the bold.

At the 1:15 mark -- is Justin Anderson doing the "JET is on the runway" pose??? I totally missed that during the game!

Totally love the energy both of these guys brought last night.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Mejri, Powell, and Anderson are finally something to look forward to. Nice that they are all different positions as well.

Great catch. Oozes with irony.

[CGM]

I know I might be a LITTLE biased, but what about some love for my kid, JJ, with his 18 point (50% fg) and 11 assist game....
