Man the Frank and Kemba stuff stinks.    I just don't know how you can count on Kemba....unfortunately.   

Really would like to see a more detailed update on Green.   This is an important stretch here.   Need to win these games imo.

No what really stinks is that at least the two best players on the Knicks wanted to be Mavs and that arguably their 3rd best player should be a Maverick too --> tank correctly for Luka, keep pick, tank again, top 5: Zion, Ja, Barrett, Hunter, Garland.

I never thought at this point of the season, we would have the same record as the Knicks.

Huge test for Wood here. If Brunson plays and the Mavs win (which will require a strong showing from Wood), how can the Mavs justify not offering the extension?

Brunson is out. That sucks.

[ItsGoTime]

Wasn’t he out for the last game against us too?

[MrGoat]

Nope. He just played like it. 

This one actually feels more dangerous without Brunson considering the way we curb stomped the Knicks last time when he was there, now I'm almost expecting a big letdown

Mavs starting with two bigs. Looks like Wood is playing center, but I’m still not a fan.

I suppose this is about Powell being the best healthy choice to guard Randle, which I can’t argue with.

Absolutely STELLAR close out from Wood to the corner.

Goodness, Wood has great hands.

[KillerLeft]

Mavs switching a lot  when wood gets screened. Working out pretty well.

---

Yikes. Powell hurt, Wood in foul trouble.

[KillerLeft]

POWELL’S FACE FINALLY GOT A WHISTLE!!!!!

---

Considering how little of that quarter went according to plan, I’d say they are lucky to be down only two.

I actually don’t hate the decision to start Powell at the four against Randle, but unfortunately, the current injuries mean you’ll pay dearly to overlap them like that.

[KillerLeft]

This has not been Ntilikina’s best defensive effort, so far

[BoredAssistant]

Did Lebron get a tribute video when he returned to CLE in '10/'11? I forget (no one has to answer this).

[KillerLeft]

NICE side pnr from Wright/Wood

Using Wood as a screener against most teams is just a cheat code. 

I know we say Kleber can roll or pop, and that’s true…but it’s just different with Wood. 

I do agree with @"DanSchwartzgan" that he doesn’t always set great screens, but I feel like he’s starting to learn that he’ll get great shots when he does.
