Jason Kidd mentioned the Dallas Mavericks training staff currently has Maxi Kleber written down for a 20-minute restriction.

Kleber played 16 minutes last night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

[Knutsen]

What’s wrong with this team… Naji ill again, everybody else is hurt. Was super hyped about this season but it has been a tough one so far.

LOl what a call against Irving. Please apply the same rules to Dort in the play-offs. He´s out of the game in less than two minutes with six fouls.

Mavs played well in the first. I expect a big run from OKC is coming some time.

The Jalen that always takes charges with 3 threes and a charge. After making two (one off a second chance and the other contested), Gafford was stuck in no mans land for the third three. That was not on ability. Just bad spacial awareness. Needs to be better.

Grimes with his fifth quarter of meh play. We need to get him going.

[Chicagojk]

The Mavs start the second with a turnover fest. This is going to get ugly quick. Pj with at least 3, I think

[Chicagojk]

Omax with a nice three. The offense needs to be better than everyone watching our g league guard dribble

[Chicagojk]

Rough outing for Grimes.

[Chicagojk]

Damn, now Gafford looks hurt

[Chicagojk]

He got kicked in the head.

[Chicagojk]

Nice minutes for Omax and Edwards. Edwards has a place in the league. Just needs to take and make a decent amount of wide open threes. He turns down a lot and without a full squad put the reserves in tough spots.

[Chicagojk]

Omax can play in these games. Just need to speed up his development.

[Chicagojk]

Good half for the Mavs. Still think a OKC run is coming soon.

[LukaMVP]

OKC are castrated without Chet and Stein. they have to use midget lineups that would make even Morris look decent in the paint.

[GATA]

Cannot have Kessler Edwards in the game with a chance to win this. Play the top 5 guys the entire fourth quarter

[BigDirk41]

Huge win for the Mavs!

[Chicagojk]

Wow..did not expect that.

Grimes and maxi with huge plays late. Din and Kyrie were great scoring. And PJ was a freakin monster.

I am glad I didn’t need to take it back.  Mavs made it interesting late.
