"He was right there waiting at the door for us when we came in" - Tim Hardaway Jr. on Kyrie Irving. Saying he was in great spirits too.

I wouldnt be surprised if Kyrie skips this game to be better for the Lakers and Minnesota games.
So I think the lineup will be Luka Dante,DJJ,GWms ,Lively for this Memphis game but I think Exum has changed the Mavs going forward into a 3 guard lineup when Kyrie plays again.

Put Exum on Bane and see what happens... I think he can limit him, i'm just tired of seeing him score 30 points every game over us.

Great news about Kyrie, that was probably the best case scenario and that scenario happened. Thank you basketball Gods.

Kyrie is an iron man now.

Grant is out for the B2B, really short rotation, Prosper and Hardy should get double digit in minutes.

Prosper or Lawson have to figure out... We need help.

Let's extend the win streak to 3 games.

Mavs are a 2.5 point favorite

Looks like it's going to be a Luka, Seth, Exum, DJJ, Lively starting 5.

Timmy first off the bench of course, Holmes/Powell backing up Lively. Jaden didn't get a second of playtime even after Kyrie went down against the Blazers, so it will be interesting to see what happens there. You would think O-Max will get a little burn just for a bit of size and defence, and then does Kidd have Keif and AJ ahead of Jaden.

I will be having a keen eye on that development, whether Jaden gets any minutes at all, this will show us exactly just how much Jaden is in the doghouse.

THis was always the worry with Kyrie unfortunately, some guys just cant fight combat the injury bug. But really sucks Grant is out today, Memphis is not a team the Mavs should lost to twice, so hopefully they can secure a W

AGreed, have to change it up. Bane has a chip on his shoulder when he plays Dallas and for good reason seeing they drafted a vastly inferior player over him, maybe Exum can slow him down a little

Here he goes again - the man who is so insecure Josh Green has built an entire Texas sized Ranch in his head. I doubt Bane has a particular chip on his shoulder against Dallas seeing how 28 other teams also passed him up :lol:

Except Bane actually mentioned it in interviews, so there is that. All the best in your realgm pursuits, you and another poster seem to take so much issue with my posts the easy solution is what I am going to with you after I hit submit, put on ignore and then we can just be.

Despite all the injuries, Grizz are just as decimated, so it would be a shame if Mavs couldnt win this one. Have to take every W you can, especially against the west and with Ja coming back soon.

Wouldn’t rule out Kidd starting Prosper tonight. Needs to find some balance in mins with the Lakers up tomorrow.

But otherwise, I would expect plenty of 3 guard lineups with Luka, Curry, Exum, and THJ.

Unfortunate we have the injuries and then have the Lakers tomorrow.

Any idea how much longer some of these guys will be out?

If Omax could hit open 3's he would probably be in a serious rotation by now. He never gets tired and plays actually good defense. Unfortunately he's not there yet.

Did this unnecessary in season tourney result in more back 2 backs? Im not a SIlver fan at all

Our opponents need more Powell for sure, if there is a man in this **** world who could take Luka out of the game it's him with another useless volleyball jump.

We have faith in Dwight "the Irving stopper" Powell.

Hopefully he can, DFS did so there's hope. Unfortunatley that was with Carlisle who's a far better offensive coach than Kidd
