Wrong board but Matt Duchene just did something filthy

Mavs too ethical. Why is Middleton out there bombing 8 for 10 from 3-point range?

Let's see how it shakes out, but I predict the Mavs finish in 7th position heading into the lottery. Ahead of New Orleans, but behind Memphis. That is ~32% for a Top 4 pick and ~88% for a Top 8 pick.

The good news is the Mavs easiest game left is against the Bulls, which I think is the last game of the season. We don't play any other tankers. Memphis still has to play Utah once and the Bulls twice. So maybe they win 1 or 2 of those and can't catch us.

Allowing Middleton to run wild last night needs to be looked upon favorably by the basketball gods with what is going on around the league.

Andrew (oops) Nembhard had 23 points at halftime last night as Indy was locked in a close game with the Suns. He played 0 minutes in the second half.

Yeah the Mavs are still going to lose a ton of games lol. That was an ass whipping.

Was really great to see Coop get back to 50% from the field though. The only thing that matters for this team now and moving forward is doing everything they can do insure Coop grows and is surrounded by players that complement him. I say that because he's not a finished product. He's not a point guard or even a point forward. He's not a 3 point shooter. So they MUST find guys who compliment that.

Only guys without a 3 are B Will and Dwight lol. Not a great time for a Poulakidis breakout.

It's genuinely stunning how much better Coop is playing off a PG than not. He's a top 20 player in the league right now at 19 with a competent PG on the floor.

Also he's the 4 in a 5-out lineup where PJ looks competent at the 5. Very interesting.

Literally thought the same thing. "PJ looks great as a post presence playing small" lol

This game is over. Ngl one of the best games they've played, and Cleveland can't hit water if they fell outta boat.

For the game Cleveland is over 40% from 3. Mavs just doing a lot more of everything else.

It's a good reminder that things weren't really as bad as the losing streaks made it seem. The team has good players on it still and is getting 2 good players back next season (hopefully).

I suppose that's what makes it so painful to win, that you could add an awesome player to an already good team going in to next year.

But still a good reminder that we don't suck lol.

I never thought or think we're getting above No. 6 so I'm not losing much sleep over it.1

Utah plays Sac today, so it could have got interesting. But you're probably right that Utah would never allow themselves to win any games.

But now it gets dicey with Memphis for 7/8.
