AD expected to make debut on Saturday. Good move to hold him out tonight.

Hold out anybody else who may need to rest/recover from anything. Let Christie/Exum/OMax get tons of playing time tonight.
I will have to see how I feel about watching this team. I almost think I'm going to root against them, with hopes that Nico gets physically assaulted trying to leave AAC after a blowout loss to Houston.
Curious to see if he shows up.

He definitely won't be sitting in his normal seat with the fans.

if he were smart, he'd do everything remotely from here on out

That will only make it worse, in my opinion. Rip the bandaid off.

Take your lumps and then hope AD goes nuclear against the rockets. Easiest/fastest way to get through it, I think.

What free agent would want to come to the Mavericks after this BS? I swear, hope Cuban is happy with who he sold the team to

He's got a few billion reasons to be happy

I'm not a Mavs fan (or any NBA fan as stated on the thread), but who cares if Cuban is happy or not? He sure doesn't. He's a slower, previous generation, poor man's version of Elon. He cares about his own opinions/position in the world order and his business interests.

And the last handful of years he went all in on pharma and soft/feely issues with his business interests. He may still act like he cares about the Mavs team, but he wants to be a silent partner that benefits greatly from sports gambling possibilities while another entity takes any potential heat (Adelsons) and continue to push his feel good stuff.

He absolutely used to care about the Mavs. But now he's at a different point in his life imo.

And my current wishes for a league I don't care about are...

1) Mavs win the title this year just to confuse everything

2) Luka either gets into hulk shape and uses this as a major personal turning point and destroys everyone for years OR he leans 100% into fat beer drinkin' Luka and wrecks the league as a self-aware DGAF player. No in-between 'is he or isn't he.' Be one of the 2 Luka!!

Fat Luka winning 3 championships would be peak.

We'd probably be up by 30 if Kyrie wasn't playing tonight.

When it got to 10, it felt like 4 lol.

Another solid vibes win at a critical point.

First time in franchise history with 3 starters and 3 bench players with 15+ points. Odd stat but a good sign for a depleted roster in a big road win.

32 assists but no one had over 5 is also somewhat odd. Five players have 4+ and every player had 2+

Good ball movement instead of hero ball?

At times it was good. Some good Klay shot making too. 25 points on only three made 3-pointers is pretty crazy. He had the mid range touch.

Helped us get a good lead early then guys played really loose, other than Kyrie. He still wants to take it to the Boston fans lol.

Exum with a +29 tonight is wild

So massive to have him back. As he made some 3s, you could see the trigger getting quicker from the early hesitation. He's going to be a really big part of this thing this year.

Kyrie played 40 minutes and Hardy played 0. Wild that Kidd couldn't find 4-5 minutes throughout the game to help Kyrie out and play Hardy.

I think his leash has run out.

The players are fine. There are only 2 people that need to worry. Nico the Down Low Bro and this mongoloid lookin dude Dumont




Dude looks like Brian Regan

I hope Nico gets his ass kicked, not devastatingly, but a couple black eyes and some ice bags for a few days. FAFO

Yea maybe he has to eat out of a straw for a week or two but then fully recovers. That would be therapeutic.

Only if it's a straw sticking out of Luka's ass

It's about the betrayal. AD couid hit 50 3's on Saturday and nobody would care.

I think out of sight, out of mind is the best here.

Everyone is going to hate his ass no matter what.
