Most depressing Dirkie for Team Tank!

Kyrie's 4th quarter was impressive. THJ was pretty hot most of the game. Wood trying and failing to post up Fox was hilarious.

There was a time I would never have accepted a tank. In competition I never gave up. This led to many wins, or high places I wouldn't have accomplished otherwise. But...the Mavs were in position to "win" by tanking. I could be wrong. Maybe to win was the right decision. They damn sure worked for it. So did Sacramento.
So now, with mixed feelings, I will choose who has earned my Dirkie for this win "win".
THJ must have been inspired by his father's words about the Mavs. He played pretty good--the old iron pyrite flashed brightly tonight.
Kyrie played loose and free. No matter what...he will win in the off season.
Luka is running on fumes, but he does not give up. That's a good thing--most of the time. He still has a lot to learn, and his best years are still in front of him.
As I look at the rest of the bench I can count at least 9 players we need to use as trade bait. Yeah, I know, this is a hell of a thought process getting down to who earned the Dirkie for a win.
I thought about giving it to THJ--but no--he's still fool's gold. My Dirkie goes to Kyrie. I guess the world really is flat...like a basketball court.

All they did was just starved off elimination for another game. Even though they're tied with OKC, OKC owns the tie-breaker. So Dallas has to run the table, and OKC has to lose out for them to get in. If they both split their last two games, OKC still gets in. OKC has Utah and Memphis, and Dallas has Chicago and SA. I believe that's correct, correct me if I'm wrong.

OKC needs to lose only one, if Mavs win both

My vote is for Powell. 2 points and 4 fouls in 12 minutes. He tried hard to save the Mavs future.

I need to vote for the Knicks. Can't find them listed.

There was no game thread but I have to mention that Luka's defense was pretty good yesterday and also late in the game against Atlanta. He is still a 6'7" body with a long wingspan, if he's giving effort and can contest shots, he can be a decent defender. Now it's just about his conditioning and not being relied on offense as much so he can have some energy for the defensive side.
