RS 23/24 - Mavs @ Thunder (Thursd., 10PMEST)
Terrible scheduling strikes again.
Will Luka play?
Will Wilt's record be broken?

So disappointing that the schedule worked out like this, but it is what it is... At least its only a short drive north.
Hopefully Luka plays if for nothing else, to keep Tim off the floor and prevent him from shooting us out of the game.
My prediction is that he plays, Gaff breaks the record in 2Q, but the Mavs lose. I just think Daigneault will coach circles around Kidd

We had a better chance of losing with everyone healthy than winning, now that Luka isn't right just chalk it up to an L.

If we can continue our dominance inside the paint, with Exum start with Irving in the backcourt, we still have some chances to defeat OKC

IMavs arent going anywhere in the playoffs if some Mavs fans think they'll lose every game without Luka.
I think Kyrie ,Dante ,DJJ, PJ,Gaff will scramble all over the court AND you'll see good passing .Passing the ball does win games in the NBA. 6th,7th,8th guys will be Lively,Green,ThJ with Maxi at the 9th because OKC plays small. If Kidd uses a 10th man maybe Hardy gets a few minutes.
The key will be to keep the big men going without Luka . Lively will be up for Holmgren and Gaff will look to manhandle him.
Dante and DJJ and Green have big challenges going against Shai and JDub.
Mavs can win this game because OKC usually has troubles against bigger teams ,they can get bullied

If they were a play-in team you'd be correct. This is the #2 seed in the West in their house.

Without luka they probably lose. But if he plays im not that worried. However, tight harmstring, then on a plane right away. I doubt he plays

OK with Luka out is it Kyrie and Dante starting in the backcourt , Dante will be PG and Kyrie SG and keep the defensive wings (DJJ & PJ) paired with Gaff starting.
Tonight sets the tone and if Lively and Gafford can get 8 blocks plus . Will Shai test out Lively and Gafford tonight.

Powell is well rested. He is going for 30 points and 15 rebounds tonight.

Keep feeding our big guys, we win this game easy.

OKC isnt some juggernaut. The Mavs have won this year without Luka versus some decent teams. We have more than enough talent, we just have to execute on both sides of the ball. I expect a competitive game.

Maxi is terrible getting to defensive rebounds.
