Big game for the standings. Rivals have tough matchups.

The Suns at Timberwolves and Jazz at Celtics.

Houston faced Washington last night and was down by 23 points and won. Final score was 115-97

Rocket is a bad team having one of the worst defense in the league with tons of turnover. Hnece, just hope Mavs can take advantage of this, and get more fastbreak points plus scoring in the paints, two areas that Mavs currently, is nearly the worst in the league.

Looks like they are gonna be cute about it as usual. If Luka misses Friday I'll take this back.

This resting of guys like Luka and Spencer will cost us. Really at this point in the season, it shouldnt be done

Yeah in all seriousness, the resting scares me. The team hasn't proven to be able to take care of business with bad teams so even against the Rockets, I'm not confident.

Luka does need the rest though so I see where the coaching staff is coming from. He was laboring and grimacing quite a bit against Minny. We need a healthy Luka in the playoffs or we stand no chance.

Bertans out again... We are in trouble guys.

3rd place is suddenly looking totally in reach. I hope this resting won't have much influence on tomorrow's result.

Oh man take care brotha. Hopefully our team can take care of business without both our MVPs.

Due to career and starting a family, I stopped following NBA closely 15 years ago, I practically stopped watching after 2011, I had COVID more than 2 years ago, and was sleeping all day, I caught few games on TV when I was up all alone at night and was hooked again, nothing matches the excitement of close basketball game, and watching perfectly executed P&R set by a masterful PG is a thing a beauty.
Get well soon brother.

Dinwiddie is on fire.

He has made a home with us. He's one piece that I hope we keep as a building block to our franchise.

Need other players to step up. Powell, Dinwiddie and Brunson alone have accounted for 80% of our points this half.

Post #19 » by **Mavrelous** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 1:35 am

Brunson needs to step up, this team doesn't have any firepower except Dinwiddie, Brunson and Powell under the basket.

Sterling Brown was decent BTW.
