The Pacers had such a brutal run before the All Star... but now they look better... so anything is possible. Hell, Mavs lost to the Wolves, nothing is for granted.

They beat the Jazz, Clippers and Kings playing great and then have looked shaky since then.

Pretty hillarious that rc can't even get into the play-in zone with such a talented squad... Yet he's considered a top5 coach by many ))

Kidd needs to start our best players instead of trying to do his balance bs. You can't balance anything when you only have 4 NBA-level players. Put out the best starting lineup talent-wise and play them heavy minutes, don't play scrap pile players extended minutes dude...

Bounce back win I hope. I still can't believe we lost a 27 point lead to the Lakers and no showed during the second half.

Mavs are a 7.5 point favorite.

Hey, it's the supposed basketball savant and the 24 year old basketball genius who doesnt know how to play with another star who's on the court right now. If he's getting 40 point triple doubles, he's a basketball savant. But if he doesnt know how to play with Kyrie, suddenly the rest of the team is the main problem, not that he stands 38 feet away from the basket in possessions that Kyrie has the ball. He's not exactly Peja Stojakovic when catching and shooting from 35 feet out.

And how do you know what they are discussing in the locker room? How closely are you even watching these games? What exactly has Kidd done differently since Kyrie is here? It's the same BS offense and the same idiotic rotations that make no sense at all, it's just that Kyrie is 2 levels above Dinwiddie. He's still only spreading the offense for them to play 4v4, or you really think Kidd went to Luka and told him to cut to the rim more and Luka said "Hell no, i'm going to fire you if you force me to do that"?

Rick was abusing Powell with Turner, he knew who Powell is. And Bullock+Holiday in the starting unit doesn't make sense, Green was so much better as a starter.
