What's up with Luka? Played 6 minutes that quarter 0 points? Went out at 6:20 hasn't come back is he injured again?

He's back in, still a bit strange.

We look like a lottery team.

Someone on dallas-mavs.com forum is saying Lively is on crutches?

He started the game with zero energy and was playing so bad that I can't blame Kidd for sitting him. His energy level looks better since he's gotten back in so maybe it worked.

The energy level has been so bad today.

We deserve to lose to a team who plays harder.

Who's a better player?

Hunter or DFS

Kidd's strategy: let Mathews beat us today

Overall, obviously Hunter. He's a signficantly better offensive player, like light years better. But DFS is tougher, more durable and is a better leader.

I'm stuck watching a stream where Hawk announcers have the game, they're awful.

Good quarter.

Great close to the half. Exactly what we needed.

Gafford is in the locker room getting treatment.

Lively is on crutches.

And just like that, Mavs are back to Powell/Maxi center rotation like 2021/2022.

Glad Gafford's good (GGG)

Lol Hunter steps out of bounds twice in a row.

NO.. Where are the crutches coming from?

Lively — who sprained his knee against the Houston Rockets on Sunday — was still on crutches as of Thursday, according to Kidd.

”We can only hope that age is a factor and that he heals quickly,” Kidd said. “Hopefully he does have the opportunity to play before the season is over.”

Earlier in the week, Kidd said the rookie center could be out for “two weeks” with what was initially listed as right knee soreness. Dallas’ regular season ends April 14 against the Thunder.

Coach Kidd said so. Also said he's not sure he plays the remaining games of the RS.

I can't believe I am chanting for Knicks.
