  1. I’ve given up trying to make any sense of this team.
  2. BTW, the Warriors are pretty damn good at home. Tonight will probably be ugly. Just forewarning all of you right now.
  3. I'm trying to not be mad about this anymore. This team takes nights off. It's just who they are. The frustrating part for me is if they would just not take games off, they would easily be the 6th seed and maybe even the 5th. Then they could have been resting guys down the stretch. Now they're going to have to duke it out just to stay out of the play-in games.
  4. 6 players questionable tonight. Yikes.
  5. I didn’t get to watch, but looking at the box score, the Mavs absolutely crushed them on the boards. How did that happen without KP?
  6. Hot damn. Not bad, boys. Not bad at all.
  7. Very frustrating. If we just would have taken care of business against garbage teams the past couple of weeks, they would probably be up on Portland by two games already.
  8. This is weird. This was a good win against a team higher in the standings than us--especially on a back-to-back. But you still get the feeling that team has another gear that we're just missing. Really hope we can steal another one from that Saturday and jump Portland. We still have 4 back-to-backs. Brutal.
  9. Remember a few days ago when people were talking about catching the Lakers? That was funny
  10. They are middle of the road away. They are below average at home as their record now indicates.
  11. The Mavs, who supposedly have the plan for this season figured out, have now lost 10 games to non-playoff teams. Last three of those have just been terrible. Rockets, Spurs, and kings all in the middle of long losing streaks.
  12. Hero ball from luka here. Nobody else on the floor is a threat to touch the ball.
  13. I just think the minute you start taking nights off as an organization that the players feed off that. This is the danger of thinking you’re the smartest FO when you’re really not. It’s been engrained in these guys that the regular season doesn’t matter and that they want to be at their best in the last 10 games. That sounds great except that you’ve buried yourself, again, in the standings and are going to have a tougher opponent than you otherwise would.
  14. Man...I’m getting to the point where this shit is just unacceptable. They should not be losing to teams on massive losing streaks. Glad I’m not watching tonight.
  15. I really hope they do not do this. If you can blow them out and rest everyone in the 4th, that's the best case scenario for me. I'm tired of throwing games.
  16. The Lakers have two days off before that first game with us. Also, the tweet is a little misleading. Even though we only have 2 fewer losses, the Lakers have 4 more wins so we are 3 games back. You would basically have to sweep them to have a shot to catch them. I hope we've learned our lesson and go ahead and take the Detroit win the night before. Do not worry about throwing it all out there against the Lakers and play the scrubs thinking you'll beat Detroit with no problem. Win the games you're supposed to win and steal a few you shouldn't. That's the recipe to move up.
  17. Let's just enjoy the season we have in front of us. Lots to be done on that front this summer. Great, improbable win. Also, I want no part of Memphis in a play-in game. Please, please no.
  18. Who are you referring to with this? I don't think I've ever brought up anything with regard to load management transparency. I'm not even sure why this is a controversial stance that I and many others have. We said Cuban is right, we also said he looks petty bringing it up at this point. Both can be true. The covid stretch absolutely sucked. It also sucks to lose 9 games to non-playoff teams. Both are the reason we find ourselves where we are today.
  19. I don't believe he would be publicly complaining about the compression of the schedule if the Mavs were the 3 seed. Just my opinion.
  20. I agree that the play-in was a mistake, but Cuban bitching about it now looks really petty IMO. The Mavs have nobody to blame but themselves if they stay in the 7th spot. They've let way too many easy games go. Losses to non-playoff teams (only using top 8 seeds): Chicago(2) Toronto Houston(2) OKC NO San Antonio Golden State Those are 9 games where if you just would have only gone 4-5 in, you would be the 6th seed and only 1.5 games behind the 4th seed.
  21. Very frustrating for sure. Sounds like both of your commutes would suck if you came from Plano, though. I'm honestly not sure if it would be worse coming down the tollway/75 every morning or heading into downtown from 183. You thought any about Irving/Los Colinas? Pretty easy commute to downtown and pretty easy commute for you. If you're doing private school , the ISD doesn't matter much. Not sure of your style but something like this popped up on a quick search: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3206-Salinas-Ct-Irving-TX-75062/27115231_zpid/
  22. Not sure where you work, but we ended up going to Tarrant County even though I work in Dallas. Still not going to be cheap, but way more affordable the anything going north. Decent school district with relatively cheap property taxes.
  23. Totally disagree. The public perception damage has already been done with regard to this particular vaccine. And now people like my mom have that much more ammunition to be stubborn about getting vaccinated. 1 death in nearly 7 million doses vs. Covid death rate...
