This injury report for the Mavs is no joke.

Thanks for posting the injury report! With their forwards out or day-to-day, and Derrick Lively doubtful, I don’t think they can play against our size. Bad time to run into the Wolves. I wouldn’t be surprised if they let Luka (questionable) rest the ankle.

Only 2 players are listed as OUT. Kleber and Exum. Lively being doubtful is probably out too. Notable Wolves killers Dwight Powell and Tim Hardaway are playing. I like our chances, but it is a road game.

I agree with Shrink, this is could easily turn into a rest loss for them if a couple of the questionable players are also out.

it could and if it does I'm not going to let it bother me in the slightest and I won't consider it a tainted win. A win is a win is a win is a win is a win. Take Care of Business Wolves. AROOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this case I agree. So long as we play well and take care of business.

If we win a road game against a 21-15 team we have taken care of business if we play well and lose we haven't. If we play like crap and win I'm perfectly fine with that.

If you click the above link you will see the update injury report. Most of the questionable players are in, and this is not a rest game for the Mavs.

Time to test our defense against Kyrie and Luka!

This is one team I am not sure big lineup works. I expect NAW and TBJ will get a lot of play time to double Kyrie or Luka when they get hot

I don't care what role players are out, if Kyrie and Luka are firing on all cylinders, the Mavs are an extremely tough team to beat especially on the road.

Ant with 3 fouls in the first Quarter is killer. The rest of the team needs to really step up.

Rudy Gobert is absolutely demolishing Dallas on the boards. Rudy Gobert has seven rebounds to Dallas' EIGHT in the quarter.

EDIT: Cool that Michael Grady stole my stat. :lol:

Powell is the most annoying scrub in the league

the second chance points with Luka penetrating are absurd

Karl-Anthony Towns is special in these sort of match-ups, on the block. It is the one area where having Rudy Gobert on the court does limit Karl-Anthony Towns' offensive versatility.

Can someone please explain how KAT gets an away from the ball foul for fingertips on the opponent, but Luka gets a full hand on the hip overturned?
