Rematch.

Let's see what kind of adjustments the Blazers make and how many guys they injure this time.

Pray for Dereck Lively IIIII

Maxi still being out probably means he's not in a playing shape yet. He's working out before games and is moving perfectly fine. So there's something going on we don't know about.

Lively being only questionable is a great sign.

I wouldn't play him if he was healthy either. They've injured him twice in two games now :lol:

Yeah, I wouldn't either, but Mavs have a crucial stretch to gain some ground in the PO race, they have Grizzlies and NOP twice (they main competition for the 6th spot right now), they need every win they can get.

Will be interesting to see how Kyrie does without Luka and Lively. Also no Exum means if Kidd follows his own pattern, Kyrie should play more than 40 mins lol.

Can't believe how trash Blazers are but it's fun to whatch high tempo Mavs.

Please come out of this game with no more injuries. This is sloppy and guys are falling all over the place

love the way mavs are playing sans luka ball. if we can play like this when luka comes back and only commit to luka ball late in the quarters (last 5 minutes) or last 5 of 4th quarter that would be great. ball movement/ player movement / transition scoring/ higher pace of offense. totally different team when were not playing luka ball. even get to see josh green scoring in transition. i like it.

Luckily Blazers are pure trash, won't be this easy in playoffs or even against above 0.500 teams.

Of course. We need Luka. I just want less Luka ball until last 5 minutes of quarters.
