Gonna work all day then make it home just as the game starts. After that very annoying loss, expecting the focus/energy to be on display by type time I get the TV on. Must win game.

The Kings are young and athletic, right?  Just the kind of team that gives the Mavs fits.  I just hope the Mavs can shoot 35% or better on threes, or there's not much chance of a win.

Mavs are just 13-13 at home, 17-12 on the road. Would feel better if this was a road game actually. But the key is for them to make their 3's, and keep Fox, Barnes, Hield and Haliburton under control.

In Slovenia we say even a blind chicken finds a grain eventually.

This team is FLAT.

Still no clue why Rick won't send Josh Green out there to disrupt and bring some energy. 

Either Green is that bad or Rick just does not like him. 

Most coaches will bring in their effort guys to help bring the team out of a funk. 

Rick keeps running the same shit out there.

Mavs look like shit. Body language is horrible. Sac is punking them. A team that's on a 9 game losing streak.

Cmon bro, that makes too much sense for Rick to do.

Mavs season looks like it's about to over.  There's gotta be something going on behind the scenes.  Expect big changes this offseason unless there's a quick turnaround.

Can we rest Porzingis for the next two Kings games before the Mavs try to offer Whiteside another max contract.

Cause he´s just as lazy as Cuban and Donnie. People will make endless excuses for him, but if he doesn´t like the franchise direction, the GM performance and the annual rosters provided, he could just leave. But he´s not doing that either.

Since he´s a superstar coach, he´d have no problem at all to find a new job like Doc Rivers for example. But these other owners might still have ambitions and goals, unlike Cuban/Donnie, who´ll just allow him to bury our three draft picks, because the rest of the veteran roster is doing so well.

Also people need to put some respect on Dorian´s name. Poor guy has to defend the best opposing player from 1-4 each game, and still contribute offensively, for $4M. He´s basically getting paid as much as Burke.

HB revenge tour.

On a positive Luka is competing hard on defense.  It is just that the team overall looks so disjointed defensively.  Kp is the easy whipping boy , but defense is always a team concept. 

When Mavs decided to go 3D this year they were trading some offense for defense. Defense has to carry the team on days like these.

Walton calls timeout, walks to Mavs bench and subs Porzingis back in.

[FunkBoreland]

I like this lineup, very responsive.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Blazers lost to Hornets. They need this one.

Bad challenge
