Imagine if the Mavs kept Curry and drafted Maxey at 18 in the 2020 Draft. Morley really bent Donnie/Bob/Mark over.

Because of the winter storm here in north Texas does anyone know if Philly was able to get to Dallas yet, after their home game in Philly.  If they have to fly in and play the same day this might help the Mavs.  Seems we need all the help we can get right now.

Don't see how Dallas is going to win without KP.  Even if they come out shooting well, I feel it will eventually dry up and Dallas won't be able to score enough.   

I was listening to Zach Lowe's podcast a few weeks ago and they had some Philly guys on and they hated how slow their team is.    Maybe it is one team that Dallas is quicker than?

They have a chance if they can control the likely MVP, and they shoot lights out.

[cow]

We usually win the games I think we have no chance of winning.

Line has seen a major shift. Dallas -1.5. Korkmaz and Shake Milton are OUT. Curry is questionable. And now there is major smoke about a Simmons+ for Harden trade.

Well I guess we aren’t playing a top of the draft team so hopefully we’ll show up tonight as we work toward a home court 1st round series. Must win game.

What time is this game at and why is it at 9?

Delayed because of the Winter  Olympics.

Starting smaller tonight…interesting.

Inject DFS shooting well into my veins

Powell can't guard without fouling.............


His terrible defense has returned and I'm sobering up from my Powell love.

[KillerLeft]

The dunk wasn’t his fault, but that was a DUMB fool by Powell.

Wasn’t in any way his fault. Huge miscue by either DFS or Bullock on the switch. 

Powell’s mistake was trying to get involved at all.

 Powell did not have to fly in and smack him in the head...? The play was done. If he was smart, after already having picked up a chip foul, he'd just let him have the dunk instead of going for a dunk he had absolutely NO shot at blocking. Low IQ dumb losing play.

Good god, Chriss has to be able to stay in front of Embiid better than that.

I totally agree, hence the last sentence of my post that you quoted.

[KillerLeft]

The fact that their own goal isn’t right is so Mavericks.

[SleepingHero]

This is an incredibly weird situation.

[cow]

All our terrible shooting has come home to roost.

[SleepingHero]

Maybe this explains why the Mavs are so bad at shooting this year?

Or is it cause of all the damn bricks the Mavs shoot caused the crooked rim? Chicken vs. egg situation here.
