Game 59: Bucks at Mavericks - 3/1/25 - 7:30 - FDSWI/WMLW

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 2:11 pm

Back on the road, the Bucks travel to Dallas. The Mavs are 5-0 at home since trading Luka. Tough game but we need to build on the Denver win.

We play them again on Wednesday in MKE.

As usual, please keep all posts on this game. Thx.

Battle of the Mavs and the Mav-nots there I said it

Flukey 5-0 home record since the trade or not, they're a mediocre at best basketball team without Anthony Davis. Would be a big letdown to lose this one after the Denver win. Gotta get back to stacking these W's against teams we should beat.

Their big situation is rough, Giannis should feast in this one.

A fully healthy Mavs team would be a really tough matchup, but this team is FAR from that. They just started and played a guy 31 minutes who might still be on a 10 day contract.

Keep the W train rolling. Davis is out I believe?

They don’t call him “Street Clothes” for nothing.

The Mavs started Moses Brown at C last night. This game should be a breeze.

He was pretty productive, too. 20 and 11 with 3 steals and 2 blocks? Hadn't thought of him in a while now.

Hornets (solid win against a bad team)
Pelicans (solid win against a bad team)
Heat (No Bam, Wiggins)
Warriors (Kyrie went off- Good win)
Feb 10 Versus Kings - BbAll reference has them losing at home?
Rockets (No FVV or Jabari; AD Monster Game)

Is it even right?

But yeah, basically 3 solid wins against bad teams, 1 really good win with the Warriors, and then a game back when they had AD. Don't get me wrong, I would take that 5 game stretch if I was a Bucks fan but I don't think it is like they are on some kind of heater since the trade.

Yeah I had it wrong when I posted 5-0, it's 4-1

All of their centers are out (AD, Gafford, Lively). Giannis should feast, and Brook may or may not play well here, as he could get run off the court against a small ball line-up.

Good thing Doc is gonna have Tauren Prince guard Kyrie Irving!

Need this one and the next 3 all easily winnable games. Knicks have a tough 5 game stretch.

We find ways to lose games on the road so why would this one be any different

We just signed a guy who can't play?

He's no Darrington Hobson. Or Damien Inglis. I can't remember.
