Game of the season!

Should the Mavs tank for 6th?

What a picture. Couldn't be more powerful.

Have we secured top 6 officially?

If yes, I am all for the rest mode. (Don't want to use the word tank here)

If no, I'd say still go with full power, it's not like Hornets will play ultra hard anyways, except maybe GW.

Our guys are young, they recover fairly quick. We do need to watch out for guys like Dante though.

We haven't yet but we're close.

This forum needs a L because some posters here write only after a bad game from Luka or Kyrie or someone else and i badly miss them :love:

Since we hold the tie-breaker over PHX and NOP, hence the magic number is 2 (either DAL win or PHX/NOP lose)

Mini poll: Would Grant Williams be a tough guy tomorrow try to irritate Mavs/Luka or a nice guy hugging with everyone?

That tweet with THJ is fake.

Luka posted on Instagram two pictures. The first one where he is exhausted at the end of the game, the second one is him wearing the same street clothes the last time he missed a game. Does that mean he will sit today?

Maxi is listed as questionable

I’m expecting a tough guy to start the game and then a nice guy by the end of it because he’s getting cooked.

No brainer, GW will be a biatch.

He will be an irritant. Its no secret that he was not well loved in the locker room pre-trade, so I doubt we will see a lot of love shared between parties.

Seth on the other hand...

We going to send our mod-Dirk to investigate what happened behind closed doors.

Luka's our starting pitcher, Kyrie is the closer.
