Beautiful 3 pointer by Klay to end the 3rd as the buzzer sounded.

I wish we could be the contender he expected to be playing for. Team player!

Good L... This was tough without Morant and JJJ.

Now a good stretch of Ls, i hope other tanking teams will win some games.

Just trade Gafford while he still has some value.

IMO, if they were just going to lose this game to the Grizz, they should have tanked the game against the Pelicans last night. For the standings, it works for a high pick. The schedule towards Christmas will get harder and I can see more losses in the record than wins.

Mavs had arguably the easiest schedule strength, combining teams that they play against and far the least away games they played. So I wouldn't be concerned about losing games in the future.

Players don't tank. Pelicans are pretty bad. It's hard to lose against them honestly.

Our schedule was very easy, we will lose a lot of games. Don't worry.

Martin still getting minutes and Klay shooting clutch logo shots with 18 seconds to go. Can't tank better than that.

Cooper had a career game against the Pels. AD, Kyrie, and Lively need to sit out the rest of the year to have whatever injuries they have heal first. But obviously management has to talk to them behind the scenes that they're tanking. You just can't say that out loud in the media. That's like a $200k fine.

We need Terry Rozier in the team so we can do some point shaving. Mavs lose games and his boys in whatever hood he came from get to win the unders or the moneyline. LOL

Nice job by Flagg for not putting up with Santi Aldama tripping him. Flagg seemed ready if Aldama wanted a go at it.

You said the frontcourt ia fine before the season started, right?

Gafford was always meant to be traded, even with Nico there. His value is going to go only down with nobody to make plays for him and he never was very good defender.

Huh? They extended him. With DLive's glass skeletal system, Gaff is seen as necessary in the FO. What indicators do you have otherwise?

Because they have too many Cs and no guards and Gafford was the easiest player to be moved. That was reasoning before Nico was fired. Now with season more or less over Mavs shouldn't be concerned about how healthy their Cs are, losing might be even beneficial. Gafford value is not likely going up with how team or he is playing either. Just look how his Fg% dropped. He has the worst FG% of his career.

Max Christie needs to be the third option on offense.

He's 2nd on the team in 3pt attempts, which is 63% of his attempts. I feel like we're seeing Max at his ceiling.
