With the Nuggets' upset loss to the Spurs it's now in our best interest to lose to OKC in the last game.

Just looking at the current starting lineup (and bench), I think what the Mavs should be looking for as the "final piece" is ideally in the mold of someone like a prime Klay Thompson. A strong perimet...

Post: RE: The road to 50: It is done

Mavs actually get to 50 with 2 games to spare. I'll admit I found it doubtful after the string of losses which dropped them to 34-28 but going 16-2 after that sure fixed things.

1 to go. Even though I assume rest will take priority now, you would think they should at least beat Detroit.

Scoring 16 points in the 4th is normally really bad but quite acceptable when you only allow 14.

This is a game where not having Green and Lively kills you. Gafford and Jones were overexposed and Powell is nothing but a mascot now.

After 4 more wins, now a very doable 7-3 is all they need in the last 10 games to reach 50.

Gotta finish 11-3 to get there now. The schedule is in their favor but they can't afford to drop a single game against a bad team.

Seems like the Mavs had a temporary boost from the trades and getting healthy before they remembered they were coached by Jason Kidd

Besides Kidd, it does feel like combining THJ and Green into that one two-way wing player would make the difference.

The Mavs made two trades to solidify their rotation, and they're getting healthy-er. After a nightmare stretch they have one of the easiest schedules remaining. I think 50 wins is a very reasonable go...
