I read Luka might not play. This would be the third year him not playing in Detroit, I think.

I get that it's a 82 game season, but if it's true that really does suck for the fans that ponied up a significant amount of money to see him play.

It makes sense he sits. He’s had 4 trip dubs of 35 pts in a row? I’d like him to play so I can bet on him, lol. If he does have to worry about him getting tossed tho

Mike Curtis: Spoke to Taj Gibson about his 10-day: “Man, listen. I’ve been a big fan of this organization for a long time. I know countless number of players that played here throughout the years. It just feels good to be in Detroit & just to be able to be a part of something that’s growing.”

This is why he gets endless contracts. He’s a diplomat.

That's why going to an NBA game is a crapshoot, and I have just stopped doing it.

I'll just stay at home and be sad watching the game on my big damn TV and atmos system, while being able to switch games when the team lays an egg.

Unless I’m traveling and I’m only going to be in a city for certain dates, I usually buy tickets the day of the game or a 1 day before.

I definitely agree with the sentiment about the big TV in the comfort of your own home.

Having my own healthy snacks and getting all of the different broadcast angles/ replays along with George & Greg is hard to beat.

Mavs PR: Luka Dončić (right elbow sprain) will be AVAILABLE tonight against the Pistons.

I hope Monty has Ausar on him as much as possible today.

Obviously with switching, Ausar can only do so much but hopefully he can slow him down on some level.

Same.. But Monty has put Ausar on the best players in the last week or so. That last game was the least worst rotation of the year.

With Dereck lively out, hopefully we can get Gafford in foul trouble.

The one part of Doncics game that drives me nuts(I watch every Mavs game)is his constant whining. He wants, as Gregory pointed out, a foul on everything, and is willing to sacrifice points to wear the refs down, to get him to shut up.

I've watched it countless times. Refs are going to start giving him questionable calls, just wait for it.

This Cade guys been pretty sweet. I’m happy we have him

Fournier is just busted. He does nothing out there anymore.

If he can't shoot, what good is he, and why is he playing over TBJ?
