If Pelicans lose to the Suns, Mavs magic number to clinch a top 6 seed is 1. I say get top 6 and then rest Luka. He's beat up and 6 is probably better than 5 because Denver will likely get 1.

Mad I missed the Mavs game, can't wait to watch later. Seems like Kyrie went nuclear.

Dillon seeing the difference between the Rockets and Grizz the hard way lol. Good game by him though but they are a real low IQ group.

Unreal play by Kyrie recently in the clutch, running lefty hook buzzer beater vs Nuggets and now Kyrie once again going bananas in the 4th. Only a pandemic can stop this man

Dunno how Luka kept his dribble alive on that pass out to PJ.
It's time for 5 refs.

Kyrie is really incredible


is that hard to admit?
Mavs have been one of the better teams in the league since Kyrie came back and the trades offcourse

the league is taking notice, this team may have some flaws but they can beat anyone in a 7 games series
Kyrie and Luka are unguardable and the "others" can play off them effectively

As I was saying before the end of 4th quarter, if they won that one, that would be a real statement win as Houston really came to play.

The game was lost on missed free throws. Where does the low IQ come into play?

Jokic and Luka always find those "WTF" passes. It's incredible to see.

Except Brunson is way younger that's about it. I think Kyrie has some good years left though.

Josh Giddey needs to be traded. He’s being held back ny SGA. They just don’t work good with each other

No team giving Kyrie a chance outside the Mavs is still one of the stupidest things I’ve witnessed in professional sports.
