Out:
Luka Doncic (R ankle sprain)
Kyrie Irving (R thumb sprain)
Dereck Lively (broken nose)
Doubtful:
Dante Exum (R knee bursitis)
Derrick Jones Jr (L wrist sprain)
Wow, Lively does have a broken nose. And looks like we are punting the T Wolves game.

Seems like we've punted many games this year. This team just can't get healthy.shack009 said:For Mavs at Timberwolves tomorrow night.

Still in the thing at half.
Bench showing they want to play.
Disappointed in all the faux injuries to the rest of the starters. Kyrie has just been chilling for a while now it feels like.

Which of the injuries to the starters do you think are fake? The team is really injured and has the most games missed due to injury in the league.JTA1029 said:

I love Luka but he spends more time trying to sell injuries and fouls than any player I've ever watched. And Kyrie seems like he's been injured with various minor ailments all year. He seems to be happy watching the team play from the stands.

The Kyrie stuff you said is baseless speculation. He legitimately has a sprained thumb right now.
You can be upset with Luka for selling foul calls but he also rolls his ankle a lot because he plays in to contact rather than just going by guys. He's also played 40+ minutes in all of these games without Kyrie because he has to. He needs a night off every now and then.JTA1029 said:

43-39
7 Seed and a play-in match up against the Jazz. Win that and then a first round surprise win over the Thunder when Luka powers Dallas over SGA, et al.

Nah, that won't happen even if Luka/Kyrie rest once in a while. They'll tread water well enough, and incorporate some rest/injury nights here and there. I'd like them to at least finish 6th and avoid the play-in, but I think 7th is likely.awinlonghorn said:

Disastrous close to the half and absolute abysmal missed call by the refs. How is kicking someone in the gut not a fkn foul.
8:53p, 2/3/24
So dumb by the refs to allow that 3 but the mavs completely lost focus for the last few minutes of the half.
9:07p, 2/3/24
Omg Luka just clearly dribbled the ball off his foot and then acted like his ear drum burst. I can't ****ing do this anymore. He makes cheering for him impossible.
9:07p, 2/3/24
It really seems like the Mavs take lots of bumps on 50/50 balls that don't get called that would get called for everybody else. Just happened a couple times on Maxi and Grant rebounds on the baseline where they are falling out of bounds because they are getting knocked out.
Hard to say why it is but it certainly seems like we get hosed a lot in that area.

Dude he and Middleton knocked heads. He took a head to the side of his head.
Edit: it wasn't a foul, but they clearly knocked heads on accident.

Jason Kidd needs to go. There zero frickin leadership on this team. Seen this show too many damn times.
9:27p, 2/3/24
This team is so poorly coached.. allowing Giannis to go the length of the court in 3 seconds for an easy layup at the end of the quarter…

Just like how the cowboys could never get a holding call on the other teams offense.shack009 said:

Not sure I would want the 2024 version of Wiggins.
