Game 53: Houston Rockets (32-19) vs. Dallas Mavericks (27-25)

Are there any whispers that Lively won‘t come back these year? I thought it’s more like a four to six week injury, but I could be wrong.

The only report is that he would be reevaluated in 4 weeks. The 4 week mark is 19 February, the tail end of the All-star break.

I wonder about PJ sprained ankle.

Yes, they have been one of the best in the league.  Even guys who are not there any longer.  Caruso.   Scottie Pippen Jr.,  Jay Huff.   I think there are a few others.    Have I mentioned before how much it bothers me the Mavs never take this part seriously.  At least they haven't most years.

I couldn't agree more. Drafting and developing players is literally like printing assets. The draft picks are free. You just put a little time into developing the bottom of the roster. That would be my first priority as an organization.

Mavs looked good AD is not seriously hurt so nothing to get too worried about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF3j2nDw0cw KARMA coming for Trump. Should never have gotten in bed with the gambling industry seems like his mistakes could cost him billions.

Hope that a new Billionaire will take interest and take over the mavericks soon because as far as I am concerned gambling is a horrible thing to get associated with and the gambling industry should be shut down period.

The harm to our society is astronomical and it is an evil parasitic industry. Only those spiritually bankrupt and those who are borderline evil and willing to explore the demonic realms of thought and all of them are devoid of understanding ethical thought processes. Those who gamble and get involved with that kind of negative activity will drift into drugs as well and more often than not will increase the worlds suffering as they harm the future of everyone that they love and it is extremely wrong and self destructive to engage in gambling.

The universe does not reward the gambler with good Karma. It looks at you and it says you must want to loose everything you love and have to someone else not sure why that is but hey you want it then your wish is my command.

You instruct the great mind that creates all reality the oversoul of all existence to slowly teach you the lessons of the gamblers folly and now you will be taught that painful lesson and pay the ultimate price for choosing to become gambler. Sooner or later Karma has to be paid.

Cuban will be financially ruined and sooner than he knows. His reputation is now in the dumpster. The lawsuit that he faces will probably destroy his empire so he had better plan on selling his remaining 30% interest in the MAVS because that will maybe allow him to survive and pay off his debt to the people that got ripped off following his advice to invest money in crypto scams.

That's a great game. Dang. I'll still go with Christie though. Lakers have been really good the past few years at finding and developing tweener guards.

Reeves is 26 and Christie is 21. I'll take Max all day long. Reeves is still a good young player though.

We could’ve had both truthfully.

I almost edited this post. We really, really don't want politics here. I opted not to nuke this one because there has been some discussion of gambling around here recently, and I do believe that is adjacent to what we're all here to discuss, so I don't want to be overly censoring and quash what might be interesting conversation for basketball fans, but this is borderline enough for me to feel it could tip the wrong way. 

Please keep future posts safely on the basketball side of the fence. If there's a need to stray outside the lines, make the basketball reason more overt in your point.
