RS 23/24 - Mavs vs Blazers (Wed., 830PMEST)

We suck again.

Jaden Hardy had 5 straight threes. So in true Mavs 'young player' fashion, he'll follow it up by not hitting any this time around.

On a more serious note: Blazers & Blazers next. A chance to pad the record and hopefully start a good run? Next 7 games are at home.

Just keep Powell off the floor before someone gets injuried again. Please.

We need to build again the Luka-Kyrie chemistry after those 12 games, i hope G-Will improves his 3p% with another great creator like Irving.

Mavs had the most starting lineup changes in the league so far. That's absurd, almost every game different lineup for various reasons.

I've never heard of the starting C on the Blazers. Who in the world is that guy

This game will last 4 hours.. wtf is this?

What a pass by Luka to Powell. And another to THJ.

I like the aggression by Kyrie. Some of the shots are suspect (even if they go in) but I prefer this Kyrie then the one where he's just satisfied with coasting.

This Portland is not a NBA level team, they are completely trash.

But it's a dream scenario for Kidd, he can plays Powell 30minutes :lol:

Kyrie and Luka 52pts at the half Portland 47 ... yikes!

This can't be happening. Lively and entire Mavs team are so unlucky with injuries this year.

So here we are... Dwight Powell starter again. Good.

Love how they have Kyrie moving without the ball. finally. finding him on cuts. back doors. all we need to do is add some quick shots off the curl ala rip Hamilton. it will add another element to our offense. btw, we still need a backup C / veteran. We also need to update that PF spot still... got some options out there.

Grant made himself unplayable in only few games. Now i understand why Celtics fans were laughing at Mavs.

He'll adjust. He's an intangible guy. I like his toughness and shot making ability. He'll come around.

How bad was it? We're absolutely **** if we don't address that backup big situation asap.

Read on Twitter

So probably 15 games if "light" :banghead:

Given that Lively has been injured twice now against the Blazers we should sit him in any future Blazers encounter.

Looked ugly on the screen. Hopefully Kidd is right this time but he needed help to get back to the locker room.
