Bounce back game. Mavs have to have everything cleared before the Minny game.

[dirkfansince1998]

James Johnson revenge game incoming. Wouldn´t be suprised if he has a once in a life time shooting performance. Randomly going 4/7 or 5/8 from 3.

[DrMav]

Mavs have a chance to eliminate the Pelicans from a play-in berth tonight, time to be cold hearted and get it done. Must win game.

[Chicagojk]

Can we get the Mavs to believe New Orleans is really 38-31 for the year??

I used to be happy reading reports like this, but Mavs often failed to materialize the advantage. But they owe themselves big time for yesterday

KP is supposed to be in, wonder if they sit Luka after seeing all of their starters out.

Just asking to play the play in at this point. 

Luka will have an entire week and a half off if we can avoid the play in. Play him now so we dont have to play later.

Yes and there's a good chance he doesn't play the 2nd half or at least the 4th quarter if things go right.

I just got a text from New Orleans asking if I could play today.  

It looks like Ty Terry is off the injury report, so he may be making an appearance on the sidelines.  Good if true.  He won't help this year.  But one it means he is ok.  And second it certainly wouldn't hurt to have him part of the team again.

I don't disagree with this at all. Just wondering if it is in the thought process seeing him hobble around the court last game.

Did they try to get that team photo before he came back on purpose?

I would say that the entire season hinges on this game. I think they end up in the playin no matter what if they lose this, and they aren't winning a single competitive game for all the marbles against any of those other three teams. 

Hope they nut up and win.

They had all those guys out and nearly beat the Grizzlies. If you don't take care of business, you can lose to anybody.

Yeah, I don't like this "lesser team" notion that you sometimes hear on this board about teams with poor records.  Their records might be poor, but doesn't mean that they are not more athletic and harder playing than the Mavs.

Luka repping the 1st half score.

These no stress games are nice.
