RS 24/25 - Mavs vs Kings (Mond 8:30PM EST)

[Dirk]

Another tough game.

Kings beat the Rockets yesterday and have won 3 straight.

We're all going to miss Moses!

[Mavrelous]

Sabas pulled his hammy, he's out weeks at least I guess, 9th seed should be within reach.

A lot of muscle injuries lately, it seems it's not only Luka with bad conditioning problems.

No, Sabomis is well conditioned, unlike Luka.
Bad conditioning is a cause for muscle injuries, but not an exclusive cause.

I guess you're an expert to determine what is the cause in Luka's case and what in Sabonis' case? Or can we agree that it's only guessing?

Trade Sabonis for Embiid and 1FRP!

None of us is an expert, and none of us examined them, of course it's only guessing, only one of us keeps bringing it up with every injury mentioned though.

And only 1 of us specifically said that the reason for Luka's calf injury is a bad conditioning. It looks you're an expert. I just understand that muscle injuries are very frequent in professional sports. Professional athletes are in vast majority extremely prepared, but still...

Reality is that injuries happen to everyone, Luka is far from the most injured Nba player, so that kinda negates your logic, that his bad conditioning is the reason for more injuries.

Mavs are 1 of the most injured teams in Nba in last few years. That kinda implicates that they're all bad conditioned. Are they?

No, not only me, Mavs training staff too, that was the trigger for the trade.
Sure injiries happen a lot, but there are risk factors and bad conditioning is a risk factor.

You're talking about training staff, that runs the most injured team in Nba in last 2 years?

Luka has played more games than half on Mavs roster. Maybe they should trade everyone and training staff.

Luka has had 1 long term injury in his entire career, I guess that's the risk worth taking.

You keep moving the goal posts, I'm done discussing this topic, don't derail any other discussion by bringing it up.
This is an official demand, any further spamming of discussion with this again will not be tolerated.

No problem, maybe you should decide, if you're participating in the debate as basketball fan or a moderator? Kinda difficult to be both in the same debate.

I don’t want to be that guy but he’s got a fair point there.

Might as well not play with that roster - and the **** FO is too incompetent to even retain Moses for the interim due to their financial mismanagement

[joesha1698]

I like that Kyrie is not forcing it too much. We need some better coaching. Seriously. Kidd has to stay in guys ears.

Mavs trying to survive the season with 10-day and 2-way contracts is its own parody at this point.

[joesha1698]

Kyrie hurt now? Wow.

[Archx]

Great job Nico and Kidd.... Ran Kyrie into the ground. How his knee buckled didn't look promising at all.
