Mavs miss play in but beat the short handed bulls.

Mavs hand their pick to Knicks.

Who thinks all of the above will happen? I do.
Unfortunately I do

I see a more painful scenario. We lose out, secure the 10th best odds only to find out on draft lottery night that a team jumps us and we end up with the 11th pick.

That would suck bigggg time.

Those are still odds I would take over getting in and going home after 1 or 2 games

But let’s get some positive vibes going.

We are either going to pull off the biggest turnaround and win the championship or we are going to win the lottery, which I believe would mark the first time the Mavs have ever moved up in a draft lottery.

I'll be positive when I see an injury report for tomorrow with alot of players on it and they lose. If they don't keep the pick so be it. I just want to see a right decision being made.

If it's a close game and they're tanking, I could almost see Kidd get a tech on purpose so he can give a 1 point lead to the opposing team. LMAO.

I think Luka is going for the scoring title to get something out of this miserable season

He'd need to score at least 60 in both games for that.

Luka saving face so he will most likely play the game and will try to win it. Management most likely told them to sit out. Kyrie scored a ton the other game. Hard to believe he's injured all of a sudden.

No, he needs ~30 above 31 in both games, so 45-46 each will suffice.

Miserable season :lol:

It ain't even finished yet. You guys facing situation where Kyrie is about to walk and 1st round pick will be going to NYK. With the win vs Bulls it's pretty much guaranteed.

If anything, this is a must lose game. This year's seeding most likely will decide how Mavs will be looking for next 3 plus years.

I think he knows scoring title is out of his reach. I think it's more because of the nature who he is and where he's coming from. I mean i understand and appreciate his competitiveness, but if the organization waved the white flag, it would just be better if they do the most obvious thing like other bottom teams are doing.

The Sacramento game was a pride thing IMO. Just to show the NBA they could beat the West's number 2 team despite Kendrick Perkins running his mouth all day. Now that they got to scratch that itch, they go back to tanking.

Are both teams throwing the ball into the wrong hoop tonight?
