Is it hot in here? Mavs take a tour to Florida to visit the Heat

[EricaLubarsky]

Heat are favorites by a lot

THJ - foot - out
Chriss - knee - out
Pinson - out
Burke - shoulder - questionable
New guys - playing
KP - out (but for Wizards)

Morris - out
Herro - out
Oladipo - out
Martin - out
Butler - questionable

[Melonhead]

Bummer no Chriss

Could be rough when they decide to pack the paint

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs
5th defense
16th offense

Heat
6th defense
7th offense

Looking forward to Dinwiddie. Hope he plays well and doesn't force the issue.

[tap2390]

Looking forward to Bertans. Hit open threes and you’ll be a fan fav.

[BPo001]

Looking forward to watching the new guys and see what they bring to the table. I haven’t been following super close to the standings, but surprised to see Miami is the #1 seed in the East.

Reggie doubtful with a hip injury

So hopefully Dinwiddie works with Luka because apparently him and Beal had beef with each other and then that also begs the question if the Mavs had a chance to trade for Beal would he even work with Luka?


According to thelawdictionary.org, a distressed asset is any asset that is put on sale at well below its expected value because the asset owner is forced to sell. In Spencer Dinwiddie’s case, his relationship with Bradley Beal had reached a boiling point and the locker room was not big enough for the two of them to coexist. We can debate whether the dysfunction in the Washington locker room was due to Dinwiddie’s arrival or whether he was simply the match that set a combustible environment on fire. Either way, it didn’t work and ownership was determined to move on from Dinwiddie with great haste.

ive read its Beal that is the shitty teammate over the years. internet rumors but this wasnt Mavs/Dinwiddie related just in general

[EricaLubarsky]

First start for Green?

[EricaLubarsky]

How is it a foul?

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Right? Bam falls on top of Doncic.

[EricaLubarsky]

Man Heat are defenders

Mavs just have no size and that’s the difference in the game

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs can’t hang against the physical triple doubles on Luka

[EricaLubarsky]

Heat have way too many good players

[EricaLubarsky]

Man’s it’s been a while since we move had a shooter like Bertans

4.5 fingers of fire

[EricaLubarsky]

What a weak ass foul

[BPo001]

Lol Bam. Don’t see that everyday

[EricaLubarsky]

Mags just don’t have the talent

Heat just have superb defense and so many weapons

Doesn’t hurt that they let Bam get away with murder either

[EricaLubarsky]

-13

Don’t see a way to win.

[BPo001]

Nice shot, Maxi. All the time in the world, and you rush the shot. Airballllllll

[EricaLubarsky]

17-32 on the boards

Holy shit we need size

[Melonhead]

No size just the way Cuban likes it.

Taking away Luka and daring someone else to beat them. Doesn’t appear that is going to happen tonight.

[EricaLubarsky]

Pretty lucky to be down only 8

[Melonhead]

God damn 32-8 points in the paint.

Expecting a blowout second half

Not surprising

This is where many felt the Mavs would miss KP the most for rim protection as opposed to his offense.

Powell and Kleber is a waist of combined $20 mill IMO and then the next big up is freaking Bertans

and guess what Nico said the roster is set LOL

[EricaLubarsky]

18-33 on the boards

[Melonhead]

This is a great game to showcase how Dallas would look in playoffs against great defenses.

Lost and undersized. But they do fight and their defense is good too. It’s just not enough.

[BPo001]

Miss the travel call, and then call that BS on JB

yeah those two games vs the clippers was a great example to and if Luka doesn't score 35-40 points per game the Mavs are screwed vs good defensive teams

[BPo001]

No call?!

[Dallas41]

man if you listen to Harper you would think the Mavs are the deepest team in the NBA

[Melonhead]

Gotta love the grit of this team.

[Melonhead]

Fuck these refs on JB

[BPo001]

Offensive foul? What the fuck??.

[BPo001]

What a f’n move on Tucker

[Melonhead]

40-12 paint points lol

[Melonhead]

Berrrrrrrr
