Tank, baby. Get healthy for Utah and Portland.

[BoredAssistant]

PJ is playing great! Dwight saw Grimes get hit in the face and shed a tear.

[GATA]

Marshall is a beast. My favorite new Mav in awhile

[SleepingHero]

Once again, I am unable to watch this one live. But I will be able to reconvene tomorrow morning. Let’s go Mavs!

[GATA]

Hell of a first half. Dinwiddie actually playing wel

[Mavs2021]

Did not see that coming. Nice they pushed it back to 20 at HT. Now I will have to listen to ESPN suck off Harden. Can we get an Inside the NBA intervention.

Chuck: It´s the Wizards. Me and Shaq could score 30 against this team.
Shaq: Even Kenny could.

It's gonna happen if it hasn't already -- Naji has to have plays built for him.
He should at least, be the 4th option in offense for the Mavs.

Kyrie-Luka-PJ-Naji-Lively

That's the best Mav 5.

[Jym]

wild seeing Bridges and Marshall on the court at the same time
which would you think cost 5 first rounders?

[Mavs2021]

Poor awareness by Lively. Fell asleep on KAT´s first three and that gave him the confidence for the 2nd.

In this game, at least... But the best part is that we have Naji locked up at reasonable money for a few years.

[Mavs2021]

Last two games everybody been ill, Dinwiddie been sick. Making me eat my words. He just had to play the LA stink out of his system.

[KillerLeft]

I think this team is on a path to good things, and that Nico Harrison is qualified.

hopefully can build up some chemistry and health 
so many winnable games thru the end of the year 

tonight and PHX in a month were the scariest matchups

[Mavs2021]

At this pace another week and PJ/Naji are Tatum and Brown.

[The Jom]

Didn’t get to watch. But that PJ stat line, my goodness.

[myconsumerclub]

Got to get healthier and start to play with more chemistry like this even when the rest of the team comes back. Naji and PJ are a nice pair. Klay may actually be an asset useful for trade purposes. We get healthy we have a hell of a bench with Lively Naji Grimes Din and Hardy or Kleber. Also they can play Naji and Lively with the starters and play Klay and Gafford with our bench crew.

That is a strong 11 and if Omax and Gortman develop and Exum comes back strong the depth of this team is almost the best in the league. Powell even looked decent as a fill in tonight. A game like this just makes you feel good about the team.

Everyone have a great thanksgiving and lots of turkey.

[GATA]

Grimes is a player.

[ThisIStheYear]

The Mavs played a great game tonight. A total team effort. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Tbh I’m not even surprised. Just so many good two way players with size and athleticism on the team it’s seriously impressive. Loosing Luka obviously hurts as he can just bury EVERY single opponent any moment but there’s still 

- Kyrie playing allstar / maybe even all nba level of basketball

- Lively is a highly impactful player

- PJ is a STUDDDD. Like to the point where it’s absurd that he isn’t viewed in the same mold as guys like OG or Mikal. He’s actually been a gigantic reason for why we’ve been to the finals last year and also again helped turn the season around this year after he came back from injury.

- Marshall was an impactful player already early in the season despite being ice cold from three. Now he even makes those, on top of strong defense, a great driving game and unselfish playmaking. I don’t follow other teams much but he should seriously be in the 6MOY conversation.

- Grimes is a genuinely good SG with very strong defense and shooting who is also not incompetent off the bounce or unathletic. Another guy who I expect to impact the game in a positive way whenever he steps on the court

- Klay is a healthy presence for the team so far with good defense and smart plays, just not completely there shooting-wise

- Powell has played a VERY good season so far. Not a ton of minutes but just reliable when you need him

- Dinwiddie with a HUGE performance tonight again. Giving reasonable hope that we might be able to fix the backup guard spot.

- Gafford: I get frustrated a lot but he’s a physical & athletic force and a blessing to have on the roster. If you look at the starting Centers we had since 2011 he’s probably easily in the top 5 despite being often used off the bench.

The next two games are against Utah who might play without Markkanen and Portland. If we can pull those two out we’re right back to a 50 win pace despite the early season struggles and lineup turmoil. 

The results are solid at best right now but this looks like a much better team to me than the record shows right now. Completely different from last year where we had a good record early but te squad was full of holes. I dont think that’s the case now. Backup guard is my biggest worry but Dinwiddie has really shown something now.
