Three of the next four games - the Nets hungry for a win, the Cavs on the SEGABABA, and the Grizz trying to stay in the upper bracket of the playin - will be quite challenging. If the Mavs can win out over the next four games, they can play the last three games for positioning, especially the last game - ensuring they play the wounded Nuggets instead of the rough matchup of the Clipps. A lot to ask. I think the Mavs have it in them; they just have to dig deep and make it happen game-to-game. I would say this game is the most important - if they don't win, they'll likely have to go at least 5-1 in the last six games to avoid the playin.
Don't see how you think Denver will be a walk in the park. Even without Murray. Jokic can beat you damn near by himself with his all around skillset, just as Luka can. The only way I give them a chance is if the Mavs shoot the blood out the ball for damn near all the games, and KP has to be on the court, not the sideline.

Porzingis is getting traded. We get Turner or Holmes in here our whole C rotation with WCS + young big will cost 10M less.

More Melli please. 
Great close out on the 3pt shooter. Such a rookie mistake.

Huge win. On a night when Luka was not looking like himself, everyone stepped up big. Phenomenal performance. Great effort, energy. Powell is getting better and better, his team defense is awesome.

He has saved this team in the last dozen or so games IMO.

Mavs now have to take care of business in both Cleveland games. If they do, they might get a bit of a cushion for a bit less stresful final stretch of games. But huge trap games. Cleveland lost 8 in a row and they have to win at some point.

We are contenders. We are better than LAL DEN POR MEM GSW SAS. Even(especially) without KP. So many teams are hitting a wall right now. We are just now rounding into form

In terms of our chances, I'll take the Murray-less Nuggets 100 times out of 100 over the Clippers.

Um, no. We have one star; all of the contenders have several. One star, and his supporting class isn't you/TC/Trix/DSteve/JKidd/JJB.

That's nearly a no-brainer.

Can't wait to see Playoff P disappoint...
Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...

Last four minutes were pretty rough before the back-to-back lay-ins by JB/Luka. We really need to not play clock ball with that much time remaining.

Was an incredible game, and to win with Luka shooting like a heaping pile of trash nearly the whole second half, actually made me have MORE confidence in our prospects in the playoffs.
We get players to start coming through when Luka is having an off night, and we are in good shape.

He made some shots tonight off the glass that had me speechless. If WCS had as much savvy and confidence in the paint with the ball as Powell, he’d probably be an All NBA player.
When Powell is right he is a difference maker on this team, and I am through listening to people try to tell me otherwise.

Along with THJ, and DFS. Don't forget to give them their flowers.

He's the hero we need; not necessary the one we want.
