uh oh

[cow]

Aren't we due for one of these types of THJ games?

[HoosierDaddyKid]

The Raptors gave Pop his worse home loss ever, 143-100.  Mavs need to protect the ball, because the Raptors thrive off turnovers so they can run.

[SleepingHero]

This is probably going to be one of the toughest games yet this season. TOR is on a roll, and they are filled with long wings that can defend well. Luka is in for a tough night.

Need THJ/DIN/Wood to all at least score 20.

If THJ scores 20, it will mean that he took at least 25 shots, which means that Din and Wood likely didn't get the ball enough to score 20.

Toronto is full of wings with only 4 players listed under 6’6. My experience with wings and the Mavs has been well documented. If I am to ever eat at Buffalo Wild Wings again I expect there will need to be many rituals involved, but I believe the Mavs overcoming these wings would be required. Must win game.

Powell's been on a winning team.

There is only the champion and 29 losers.

#1 on our roster, #1 in our hearts, #1 in our minds.

FIFY

BREAKING: Dwight Powell will be inserted in the starting lineup. JaVale McGee will stay on the bench.

I’m really interested to see if they will use McGee in some way or simply sit him.  Then, if they use him, I’m interested to see who he plays with and when.  The Toronto bench has some size.

Better than DFS I’ll give you that

Hey man…I mean, there are jokes, sure, but some lines just shouldn’t be crossed.

[cow]

Better than DFS I’ll give you that

I know you are just lashing out at me because of your new found love for Dwight.  It's going to be okay.

This is good news. Turns out Kidd is not a moron.

[KillerLeft]

My prediction: Luka doesn’t argue a single call and instead focuses on transition D above all else. Without early offense, Toronto will be forced into a half court game and struggle to score. 

Mavs win, 156-27

[Smitty]

It’s concerning that Kidd reflected on the past 7 games and came away convinced that Powell is better than Wood.

As long as we’ve seen the last of McGee in a Mavs uniform I can stomach some Powell token starts. Regardless, Wood needs to get 32 minutes plus…. Starting tonight!!
