Just too little, too late. We are in no-man's land...even if we had 1 more win or 1 more loss, we'd be in a better situation for either the draft pick or the play-in. Now we're just helpless in whatever happens because you have to rely on other teams to do their part

THJ, Kyrie, Kleber, Green, Wood all out tonight vs Bulls. Now they decide to tank. Should have done this weeks ago.

Our best players toight are Doncic (if he plays) & Hardy. Their best players are Vucevic & White. Who you betting on to win tonight?
And if by any chance Luka doesn´t drop 60 on the Skeleton Bulls on Slovenia night (brilliant scheduling by a top class organisation) for a win and then you still have to lose the Spurs game to be 100% sure to be in sole possession of 10th.
Anyone really believe this franchise is capable of that level of out-tanking? Not going to happen. This franchise could be offered "lose the next five games by any means necessary against competitive teams that play to win and you get Wembanyama and Scoot" and they´d still find a way to f*** it up.

I agree with Mavs2021, but hopefully the plan is to sit Luka and Hardy the second half. That's being said, I also have no confidence in them not screwing this up. It's also clear to me Luka told them NO to sitting. He was adamant in his recent interview about the this.

A thought. Did the Mavs think they might win the protest? Maybe not winning that caused the decision to sit 5 guys.
As well if Slovenia night means his country folks are on one of their trips to see Luka, then of course he plays and probably shows out for them. That doesn’t mean he really tries to win.

I know Cuban is dumb and all but there is no way he could have counted on winning the protest.

Tim MacMahon on Twitter: "Sources: Luka Doncic will sit out after the first quarter tonight vs. the Bulls. Five key Mavs, including Kyrie Irving, were ruled out this morning." / Twitter
It's Slovenia night at the AAC.

It’s just some “optics” stuff. Luka will come out, say some stuff to the Slovenians in attendance and give them a short show.

Even if they lose tonight, I fear a master class tankjob performance by Pop the last game of the season.

Ah yes. Dick for Tank is where they embarrass themselves further by finally trying to tank, and then fail by both missing the playoffs and conveying pick 11 to NYK.

If Houston loses today they secure the 2nd spot in the lottery after Detroit, so there’s no more incentive to tank for Pop - other than screwing us, of course.

Why would Kidd run his mouth like that? The whole world knows you are tanking but you don’t come out and just about admit it. The NBA will now be forced to look at this. What an idiot.

Houston did win by three points… Keeping San Antonio in the race for the 2nd spot. When it rains it pours… At least the Rockets play earlier than we do on Sunday, so Pop should know if he needs to lose.
