You can tell how bad the inbound was if Mcgee thought it was so bad. :lol:

It almost doesn't feel like the season is on the line.

Mavs by 30.

Next 3 games look very tough. In LA probably without few important players, then Grizzlies with very motivated JA back and after that Warriors. And before the end they have 3 very difficult games in the East. Things are looking pretty rough.

Having those first 3 playing is kind of compulsory especially if LA has AD, I wouldn't mind throwing McGee at him with 5 fouls rather than just watching Powell get abused for 48min.

McGee and Morris played few mins and now they're injured? Lol.... Makes me miss DFS and Dinwiddie suddenly.

The biggest elephant in the room is Kyrie' right foot soreness. The main reason for getting him was having someone capable to do something, when Luka is not playing. And it's difficult to find worse timing for him not playing.

Trade Doncic. He will be obese in 2 years. At least get something for him now.

Yep. If they're seriously not tanking, then they have the absolute worse luck with these injuries.

I know thigh injuries are tricky but hey...

Problem with grade 1 strains is that can become grade 3 very quickly, especially with someone who is pretty heavy. All those muscle injuries are very tricky.

If THJ is available and is still shooting like he's been in 2023, Mavs have a chance.
Kyrie is an injury prune player, that was the biggest risk of the trade, not his off court stuff, and Murphey rule once again came big for the Mavs, this is cosmic justice for everything going right last year.

Yes, not a great chance, but a chance, they beat UTA w/o Kyrie/Luka, and played great, they didn't play well against the Spurs, they can pull a great game once every 6-7 games, and Green/Hardy's inexperience and lack of offensive creation can use THJ quick trigger and ability to shoot on the spot with a defender close.

I miss Dirk. Never missed games. Never a question that he was committed to improving and leading by example.

It's beyond frustrating to watch the rest days, the is he fat, is he not... the "i have to take care of my toes for when i am 40".

Not so important game, probably we are locked in the play in pool anyway... But a W tonight plus a Warriors L could change the situation.

We need at least Kyrie or a breakout game by Hardy.

Let Wood plays. Please.

I would say every single game is insanely important from here on. Think about it, they are 3 games away from 4th spot and 1.5 games away from being completely out of the playoff race

For example, at the end they can't afford to say, man if we just won that game vs our direct standings opponent LAL. Or if we just had one more win we could have been 4th. So many things can go right, but also sooo many things can go wrong.
