This is a big home stand. Need 2 of 3 to be in good position going forward
After this 3 game stretch the schedule eases up considerably. Especially compared to our peers We currently have the 23rd rest of season strength of schedule. It will drop after these 3. 19 games would be left. Of those 19…. DET x2 HOU x2 UTA x2 CHI SAS CHA ATL ^ These 10 are as easy as it gets The other 9: GSW x3 - Who knows how much gas they will have left down the stretch with their extra makeup games? SAC x2 - split them and they don’t matter OKC x2 - the 1st of these is a back to back after GSW and probably our toughest remaining game. Either way the season series won’t be decided until the last game of the year. That last game could be a big deal or might not even matter The other games are Denver at home and @MIA Not bad compared to the brutal schedules for some of the other teams. Mavs the lowest ranked west top 10 team at 23 1. Phoenix 5. Lakers 6. Clippers 10. Wolves 11. New Orleans 15. OKC 16. Sac 20. Denver 22. GSW 23. Mavs

These games with Sac and GSW will be huge. We can´t afford to drop into a 9/10 vs. Lakers. NBA won´t let them lose in the 1st play-in.

I watched the 2nd half of the Rockets win over Phoenix last night. Young teams like the Rockets who are not tanking can be dangerous and they were last night doing us a favor. They won with defense and VERY timely 3 point shooting. They play with athleticism sprinkled with stupidity.
Devin Booker left the floor and went directly to the locker room with a nasty looking ankle sprain after stepping right on top of his teammates foot. We need to keep jelling together as a team and somehow avoid the injury bug. As for the Lakers we already know how much fun it is to beat an aging Kobe we might as well enjoy beating an aging Lebron. They played well last night as well but lost to Denver anyway.

Smart start. I think this should be more of an emphasis. Run the early offense for Lively, Green and Washington to get them involved and build confidence in their shots, cause they´ll need it later.

Now too much loose uptempo play. Not a fan of this style. I think Kidd wants to push the pace to cover for coaching deficiencies. Mavs will win today though. A loss would be catastrophic. It’s must win time.

DJJ came to play
03-03-2024, 01:33 PM
Maxey is a blur.
03-03-2024, 01:34 PM
Let me just say I never wanted Daniel "Grant on speed decline" Gafford.
03-03-2024, 01:34 PM
Luka got clobbered by Oubre on that drive.

Perimeter defense will be this teams downfall. No ball movement
03-03-2024, 01:39 PM
Up by 11, down 10.
03-03-2024, 01:39 PM
Hardaway -12

Kyrie has been forcing things too much the last few games. Not in rhythm.
03-03-2024, 01:41 PM
Can Midd adjust at all when someone is going off? Had his best perimeter defenders on the bench during that run. Maxi is a worthless player for the most part unless the Mavs play a team like Utah. THJ is deliberately playing bad to tank the Mavs. It’s the only explanation.

Luka starting to cook
03-03-2024, 01:46 PM
Bench minutes were not good. Gafford struggled and Kyrie and Luka had a rough first quarter. Picking it up now in the second.
Hardaway may be an energy vampire
03-03-2024, 01:51 PM
Lively has to stay away from that foul

I don’t understand how Gafford can be such a great offensive rebounder and such a bad defensive rebounder at the same time.
Luka’s defense has been particularly bad today, so far. I wonder if he’s actually hurting. The reaction movement on defense does not seem to be there in some very basic ways. |
