    Well, it's possible. Dlo is coming back in a couple of days... Durant just went down, slipping on the floor during warmups (I mean, seriously?!).I'm sure he'll be back relatively soon, but he is getting old and is kinda brittle too. Luka has injury concerns now. Portland just lost, OKC will likely lose tonight. Pelicans just won and will be tied with us, but we just need to continue playing strong, gritty basketball and everything will be fine. Our schedule is relatively easy at the end of the season.

    I never root for players to get injured, but the timing of these couldn’t be better.
    Hopefully DLo can return tomorrow.

    Boy - the Mavs have just NOT been good since the Kyrie trade.

    Ingram went down tonight as well...

    Zion is still out a MINIMUM of 2 weeks which we know means he's out LONGER.

    I think KD is gonna be fine - he was shooting just fine after that slip..they held him out for precautionary reasons.

    OKC, Portland, Utah all losing helped and their schedules aren't getting easier.

    Durant rolled that ankle pretty good. Lateral part literally touched the ground. Will see how that plays out next couple of days.

    The ingram one in that last clip above looked like absolutely nothing. I replayed it 3x and nothing happened at all…

    regardless, we absolutely need to win in NO next tues. Realistically, we’re going to drop 1 of these next 2 at minimum.

    man, at full strength, I imagine we’d be so scary…

    the luka injury is strange. he says he doesn't remember anything happening, it just started hurting a while back. generally not a great sign and means at best, he's dealing with it for the rest of the year.

    the ingram injury is also a bit concerning in that nothing seems to have happened. obviously horrific shaun livingston/paul george injuries aside, i'm generally more comfortable when i can see when and why an injury occurred. my lingering injuries in old age have generally not been from the things that looked/seemed worst at the time, but from these small and mysterious origins.

    lol, for the first time all year, the standings (sacramento excepted) look something like i expected in the preseason. took 65 games. and it could all look different in two days. but this snapshot, with hou/sa/utah/portland/okc on the outside is what i thought would happen.

    Needs to drop 20lbs. What do you think @KareemtheGreat33 and @MagicJohnson? Sooner the better?

    i actually don't think he needs to drop much weight. he size helps him, and i wouldn't call him injury prone so far in his career.
