I wonder if KP will sit out since it's a back-to-back 
Would be a good excuse to throw WCS out there for 25 minutes and see what happens

I like the idea, but somehow I don't think that is how RC will roll.

Honestly just sit both and see what happens.

Yeah, it's not like playoff positioning matters or anything. Seriously, Phoenix, as woeful as they are, is a better team if we don't have either of our two stars. That's how big our talent gap between those stars and the rest of the roster is. To choose to sit both is to forfeit the game barring the rest of the roster playing way the hell over their heads.

I'm not so sure this is a loss if both KP and Luka sit.  The game then hangs on how effective a defense the Mavs can exert against the Suns.  And I think the Mavs can mount an equal or perhaps even stouter defense without the stars than with them.  WCS should be used to shut down easy baskets inside, while employing our longer guards and wings to harass the Suns outside.  Delon, in particular, was a terror for the Thunder to deal with, and he should get a lot of minutes.  I'd also give Seth a lot of minutes.

Yep. I hope WCS gets minutes tonight.

Same Starters

LETS GO WCS!!!

[mtrot]

Lol, Quick Draw Rick with the one minute time out!

[bin610]

Quickest timeout ever

[mtrot]

Looks like the Suns are going to try to apply ball pressure to negate the Mavs' number one offense.

Rick is going to bring in maxi to try to do something about Ayton.

[Luka_Magic]

Free Willie

[Hypermav]

Short bus ref

[mtrot]

Good for Rick to pick up the tech!  Booker with a clear reach around hack, but no call.

[bin610]

Just have to eliminate these turnovers and if they keep on getting good shots they will fall.

[Davevoid]

Gotta make these corner threes.

And that little ref needs to get that stick out of his ass...
