GDT: game 23 - Kings (8-13) at Mavs (16-6) 6:00pm FSSW

[EricaLubarsky]

Kings are another physical, athletic team who is struggling. They should give us problems, though. Mavs on B2B after blowing out the Pelicans in the second half yesterday in a matinee.

Injury report
Delon Wright - groin strain - out
Kristaps Porzingis - rest - will play in both of B2B

Cory Joseph - back - questionable
MArvin Bagley - thumb - questionable
De'Aaron Fox - ankle - out
Bogdon Bogdonovic - knee - probabl

A mod over on their forum has already posted a warning message in their game thread banishing even praise of Luka or else be locked out of the thread lol. I mean I'd be salty af if we passed on Luka but being so butt hurt u cant allow praise at all in the game thread? That's when you know you got it bad. <insert charmin ultra soft gifs aplenty here>

This is it...

"MOD NOTE: This is a preemptive warning. This is the Kings-Mavs thread ON a Kings board. If you want to sing the praises of a player on the other team, this ISN'T the thread in which to do it. I'm gonna be here all game, regardless of what's happening. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be locked out of the thread.

Name-calling, snark, etc. will not be tolerated. A couple of you who primarily post in the Luka Doncica thread might just want to go there to talk about the game."

The really funny part: 30min later the first post after that the user "kingster" wrote "Donkey Doncic".

Now the Donkey is gone but lets see if Kingster got locked out

[j0Shi]

Let's keep rolling against a team that passed on Luka!

[OldWhiteGuy]

Hope Boban gets another double-double. And with Wright hurt, we might see some more Barea than usual.

[OldWhiteGuy]

Guys on the Kings board were talking about how to defend Luka. Luka just showed them why double teams don't work.

[sefant77]

terrible d so far

[Skywalker]

Gotta make those 3s

[OldWhiteGuy]

If the Kings don't miss a shot, Mavs might be in trouble.

[Skywalker]

Timmy heard me

DFS not so much

[OldWhiteGuy]

I know Luka get fouled a lot, but I wish he'd quit complaining to the refs. The fouls will come.

[sefant77]

Luka stop it....one game a douche ref is going to eject you

[ozmavs123]

I don't mind the tech.... he's getting hacked across the arms every time, need to make the point

[Skywalker]

That was an easy call, wtf

[sefant77]

terrible quarter....Kings are scoring waaay to easy inside the paint

[Skywalker]

Lets hope the bench can do their magic and bring us back

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Maxi sound asleep on that help defense.

[Skywalker]

lol what the fuck

[sefant77]

what a weird defensive effort tonight

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Tirrrred legs.

[sefant77]

yeah they are laying an egg tonight

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Jackson the mop up guy yet again.

[sefant77]

JJ "break glass in case of emergency" Barea

[fluid.forty.one]

Porzingis making the case for his defensive impact.

[sefant77]

i forgot how freaking predictable Barnes game is...

[Skywalker]

Catch and shoot with a hot hand, thats THJ at his best

[fluid.forty.one]

Luka has just been standing in the corner for four offensive possessions in a row...

Just because Barea is running the offense doesn't mean he doesn't need to be active. Not sure what he's doing.

To add to my earlier point... Luka looked like he was pouting as he went off the court as well. Was gonna get the inbound pass, and waved it off so that it went to THJ (I think).

My only concern with Luka, and I know he's young, is that he can be pretty moody.

His moodiness doesn’t really bother me as the refs still seem to hold back the whistle when he gets fouled. And at least it shows he cares.

[Zaknaf3in]

Ugh. That'll need some soul-searching during the break to turn it around.

[sefant77]

Holmes eating Powell

[j0Shi]

Going to bed. Not worth staying up. 4th in six nights kind of game. Happens.

And the good thing is, Mavs have played so great that this one alone won't hurt much in the standings.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Worst half of the year.

[sefant77]

good job, good effort

[NeedlesKane]

We suck against teams starting with a "K" that won't be going to the playoffs for some reason. Knicks and now the Kings.
