Yeah Okay they have done nothing in the playoffs with them taking the draft serious. 2-4 in the playoffs since 2021.

Spencer Dinwiddie might have made the wrong decision to join the Lakers over us. However, I understand why he didn't choose us, since we moved on from him once before.

Everyone won today, Kings and Suns have an easy schedule the coming week, Warriros and Lakers have an easy remaining schedule all in all, must stay focused to preserve the standings.

Thought it was mainly about playing time. And to be fair we moved on from him because we were able to get a generational player in Kyrie as an upgrade and not specifically to move on from Dinwiddie.

I like Luka's choice of clothing, formal, classy, and nothing over the top, kinda rare in today's pop culture, THJ also dresses well.
PJ, listed at 6'7" looks bigger than OMax listed at 6'8", and much bigger than Kidd, who was a big 6'4" PG.
Magic dropped the ball, I was counting on them, Mavs have to at least split the 2 games with the Kings.

Mavs are in pretty good place, everything is in their hands. If they don't qualify for playoffs, they don't deserve it and consequently FO should take some necessary and obvious steps. And because of that I really don't think our focus should be on what our opponents do.

I'd much rather secure the PO as early as possible and rest Luka and Kyrie.

If they win, what they should, they will have 1 week to rest.

When are you guys planning on resting anyone? There is not a single game left where some can rest

There's 1 week rest, if they finish in top6.

Agree.

Plus some 4/4 in blowout games are enough...

Man, I did not foresee this collapse, they have schedule from hell coming up, all opponents are projected 50 wins teams, and they are spiraling out of control...

I think they have one of the thinnest and imbalanced rosters I've seen from a wanna-be contender in recent history, they have no big men besides Nurk to speak of (and he is not a good defender and injury prone) and their 3 stars are all injury prone and Beal has been on a downwards spiral in recent years. I would've been shocked if this had worked out.
