    Lol. Mavs in must win. Supposedly angry and embarrassed. Lost again!! To a D League Hornets team with 3 starters out. Wow!!!

    Cuban deserves this - for doing his “basketball reasons” trade - going for Kyrie more to block the Lakers than anything else. Karma.

    Big game for both teams..the Bulls are fighting for a playoff spot too. They can't afford to drop the next two games to the Lakers, neither can we to them.

    Anybody ever come up with a way we could have been hardcapped by picking up Derozan, and still resign Tucker and Caruso, and get a starting PG? Seems very unrealistic to me.

    Hornets must have the Mavs number. Beat them twice in the past 48 hours. Now Luka has to sit the Pacers game unless the league reverses the T.

    Luka needs help on that team. Outside of Kyrie, who shot a putrid 5/15, the other three starters combined for 5 points.

    Mavs might not be able to climb back into this race.

    Sucks that Portland couldn't hang on. I didn't expect it, but woulda been nice.


    Yeah, it's pretty weird that Luka goes off for 40, and the Mavs still can't beat the Hornets even when their best players are out and none of them score more than 22.

    Luka+Kyrie are now down to 3-9 when playing together, that's insanely bad, like worst team in the league territory.

    What bad loss, the only consolation is Dallas lost and will be if Minny loses.

    Minnesota is playing well down the stretch, it will be really tough to pass them. Friday at Minnesota is the latest “biggest game of the year”. Our best hope of getting to the 6 or 7 seed might be the Clippers falling off.

    I would expect we may drop a winnable game or two re-integrated any major piece to the puzzle, but not there's not much room for error here.

    Don't expect any of these teams to make a run , they all have a 50 % -ish winning record because this is what they are : average teams

    No team is better than 6-4 in its last 10

    This is coming down to the last day of the regular season

    We dropped too many winnable games. Forgot the 6th seed, I'd be content with the 7th or 8th seed.

    Could be a helpful evening.

    With how the Mavs are playing, I'm not sure they can beat anyone, take Luka out and that belief gets multiplied by 100.

    Ayton is likely coming back tonight. Suns should be about to beat the Jazz.

    Kings are better than the Wolves and are playing at the Golden 1.

    Bulls/Clipps should be a good one. Hopefully Chicago keeps up the good shooting at Crypto.

    Only one that I don't any hope in is the Blazers game. They've shut it and played last night.
