Probably the best offensive game from the young core. Clarkson, Randle, Russell, Nance, Ingram. Outside of Nance and Clarkson, probably one of the worst defensive games from that group as well.

Those 2 played just "bad" defense.

The late 4th offense was against tackling dummy defense by Dallas. Not sure that should count.

Yeah...I had a long last couple days. Sorta nodded off late-3rd. Missed most of the 4th. I see we cut it down to 11-12 points. Sounds like they had their deep-bench in. Couldn't say for sure, though. =0)

Grats to Dirk on the 30k
Grats to Randle on the tripple-dub.

I also think Corey Brewer will have a significant role off the bench next season. If Deng wants to play at all next season, he better bring it.

Just need Phoenix to win it. It'll be a great night

We are so trash

fixed

There's just not enough words to describe how pathetic and unwatchable this team is. These losers literally make basketball look like rocket science lol.

3 years, 11 months, 6 days. That's how long it has been since the last time this crap franchise last beat the Mavs. That's 14 straight losses. **** impressive

Most importantly though is that the Laker tank continues to improve the chances of their consolation prize of a lottery pick in June. Well played loss tonight.

Basing on this game, I really don't think Russell and Clarkson can coexist as long as Russ is PG and JC is the designated scorer. I like any combo of JC-Nwaba/Ennis and DLo-Nwaba/Ennis.

I like Nwaba-DLo starting and Ennis-JC.

If we do end up keeping our pick, and get a new PG.....I would not be surprised if Russell get's moved. I think he's the guy you can get the most value for. I think he's decent, but he's prob never going to be a top-8 pg in the league. If half this new class lives up to expectations, he may never crack top 10. So what do you have, realistically?

Especially if he thinks he's worth more, and want's some fat contract. You really gonna dump $18-22 mil on some middle-pack PG? Still a chance to grow...but if we do get that pick, I wouldn't be surprised to hear D'angelo is being shopped around.

The Mavs have done a better job than us at piecing together young talent and they haven't even missed the playoffs.

Too bad we couldnt land Barnes instead of Deng. That would have been a huge upgrade and he is only 24. He could have been a key member of the building program...

Dallas has had a good year signing Barnes, Curry, then trading for Noel. Barnes and Noel will be the cornerstone after Dirk retires. They will not miss a beat. Damn it Jim!!
