No it’s not. The Mavs are 3-1 with 78 more games to play. This is about as far away from a “must win” game as you can get.

He was sarcastic.

While I trust the leadership council, I am worried Michael Porter Jr may break out of his slump tonight.

Brunson
Bullock
Luka
Kleber
WCS (length to bother Jokic - unless Kleber is up to the challenge (then we'd go smaller with DFS in the starting lineup))

That's the starting lineup i'd go with. First sub would be THJ for Brunson. Brunson in the starting lineup to cure our miserable slow starts.

Yes, if Murray and Jokic can't play.

But you are the one who is happy with this roster and with those win against bad teams. No news.

1) not a must win
2) quote me where I said this roster is good.

I don't overreact like some when its game 5 or if they fall down 3 min into a game like others.

Correct on the sarcasm.

Hopefully they can come out with some juice tonight and realize Powell isn't a starter

See this everyone I agree Powell is bad and said several times in here we could have had Holmes when he was leaving the Suns for 1/2 the price

"Must win" obviously in a figurative sense, would be a shame lose against Denver without their 2 best players.

Jokic is questionable.

They definitely need to avoid the slow start. If Jokic is out and with KP being out again I’d really like to see more Moses Brown.

Let's look at some early numbers

Offensive rating-22nd
Defense rating-11th

The offense clearly needs ALOT of work

2 things people complained about all last year was the defense and losing to bad teams. So far these things have improved in a very small sample size.

Denver still -2 tonight

Luka starts very slow, offense in RS isn't a problem IMO.

At PO things change obviously, we need another scorer.

Frank, Bullock and healthy Maxi improved a lot our defense. Great.

Were atually quite impressed with frank yesterday. He seems to be all smiles and enjoy life in dallas, could be a steal. And doesnt seem to hesitate shooting that 3. Seems that is the first thing luka hammers into new players, rookies or vets, if u are free u shoot, if u hit it, great, if u miss, so be it. Never see anyone complain at another player for taking shots in mavs.

Would definitely love to see Frank become part of the rotation on a consistent basis.
Brown's absence will give him an opportunity.

Underdog Mavs in this game by two points.

And for those interested in Dragic looks like he will get his 2nd straight DNP-CD

Too bad Nuggets killer aka Boban is not playing.
