Playing one of our better games is all I want tonight but it would not shock me if it turns out to be good enough.I hope for the best.
I have watched a long history of teams who got embarrassed shocking the world their next game. An early experience is when Dallas totally blew out Seattle after our best season to date in game one....only to lose game 2 and the series. In other words, last game means absolutely nothing today.
The Clippers lack just enough of something, I hate to try to describe it, that they might be predisposed to come back to the shooting mean this game.
That being said, losing KP is probably a killer blow and our season is soon to be over. At least we got 2 wins....which is what I predicted.
PS. Someone please post if we hear something final on THJ. We need all bodies on deck. We could sure use Jalen Brunson, Dwight Powell or Willie Cauley-Stein right now.
Speaking of ridiculously careless plays that really really hurt us, I am feeling really bad for Jalen Brunson right now.
Could be the last Mavs game for some time. Planning on trying to enjoy it regardless of the outcome.
