Supposedly Randolph has been bought out and won't report to the team.

Do you guys think the mavs will try and sign someone just recently released like Kanter?

I saw a tweet today (don't remember the source) that said Mavs won't be interested in Kanter or Gortat

That's a bummer.

We need rebounding the rest of this year at least.

I'm ok with it if it means bringing back and developing a guy like Spalding.

I saw the Luka for ROY bumper sticker while I was driving home. I had to give it a double take.
I'm holding out for the Make Mavericks Great Again hats.

Who does Brunson remind you of? Sam Cassell? Can't put my finger on it.

Did Brooks Lopez find the fountain of youth? He's taking people off the dribble and crossed up Powell.

These Bucks are scrappy and athletic.

The Lopez brothers (and identical twins in general) are fascinating. They have identical genetic makeup, were raised by the same parents, and played for the same high school and college, but they couldn't be any more different as players. It goes to show how very tiny forks in the road in your development can have a long-lasting impact on the rest of your life.

This game doesn't faze me.

Guys are still trying to figure out their roles and the player from Sacramento isn't even here yet.

The bucks have been whooping everybody.

Ok I didn't watch. Just assumed.

It took the knicks guys awhile to get started with us.

He only played a couple minutes at the end of game. He probably won't get much playing time even after he's been here a while.

Crazy comeback. Portland collapsed in the 4th quarter.

Great win!

Hurts the tanking plan but a great win.

Hardaway is a chucker and that's going to be frustrating, but he also plays really hard.

There is no tanking plan. This team is playoff bound. Don't @ me.

I hate all of this tank talk.

It made sense to tank and get luka, but now we need to show him (and Porzingis) that we're dedicated to winning.

This team isnt going to tank (on purpose)...if it happens it will be organic. Mavs have a way better chance to make the playoffs than get a top 5 lottery pick

I wish people would quit talking about it.

This team wants to win and compete. They don't want to lose games on purpose like some crappy eastern conference low life squad.

Will Dirk definitely not play at Houston tomorrow? I'd planned on going to see him one last time but rethinking if he's gonna sit.

Check the post count...we have more posts than the Spurs season thread.

We probably had like 80 at this time last year.

Hard to say. Dirk hasn't been playing in back-to-backs all year until the Pistons game a week or so ago, but that was literally right after we traded everyone and Luka was hurt. So I'm not sure he had a choice to sit in that game.

If I had to guess, I'd say he does. Just a gut feeling because he's been playing a littler better and looser lately.

Exactly. Watching yesterday's game was fun.

I don't think the Mavs will make the playoffs. I don't think the Mavs will (or even can) tank. Normally, that is the absolute worst spot to be in as an NBA team. But that was the price to pay in order to acquire Doncic and Porzingas in an 8 month span. It was worth it. In the meantime, people should just enjoy the competition. Next year is going to be even better.

This team is destined to make the 8th seed and then upset the Warriors in Rd 1. Revenge is coming. It is known.

That comeback reminded me of the Mavs I loved so much in the aughts. You almost expected them to do it anytime they were down in the 4th, no matter what

Dirk is going to need to pick it up a little to pass Wilt. Needs about 5 ppg the rest of the way.

Hardaway is going to find himself on the bench if he keeps jacking up contested threes so early in the shot clock.

He's definitely a chucker.
