Steph breaks out of his shooting slump, Klay goes for 38 in one quarter.
Hope I'm wrong.
After the beatdown the Mavs gave these guys on Dirk night, they're gong to want blood. I don't expect a victory tonight, BUT...if the Mavs do win, somehow, I'm going to start taking them even more seriously than I have been these past couple of weeks.
Luka will hit eight three pointers tonight. Mavs win by 11.
The fact Draymond is out is huge. Hopefully the Mavs take this as serious as a playoff game.

You know, one thing that I have really liked recently is that they seem to take pretty much every game seriously. Even that recent back-to-back loss to PHX wasn't lacking for effort, imo.
They laid an egg in NY not too long ago, but I'm hard pressed to remember any other recent mail-ins. Gotta give Kidd and the team some credit for that.
These late games will be the death of me, but hopefully the life of another winning streak. Must win game.
Each of these games seem to be taking on a familiar feel. Play teams fairly evenly at the beginning. Defense starts to wear the other team down. Mavs pull away, then make enough plays on offense and defense to bring it home.
Let's do it again!
I love that first play to start the game. The cross screen to feed KP out of a Luka post. More of that!
KP what a block!
And then a 3!
WOW Luka what a shot
Curry makes these incredibly hard threes look like layups
Luka heating up!
How the hell was Luka not fouled there
Maybe we should trade Luka for MCW, cause I swear these bums can´t make an open three to save their lives, so might as well not have Luka to get them open all the time.
It’s early, but KP’s defense has been pretty bad tonight, so far.
Wiggins really turned it around. Good defense and efficient 20ppg.
One thing i've noticed is Brunson has been iced out of the offensive so far. Basically been standing in a corner the entire quarter.
But Luka's on fire so...
Luka with some TERRIBLE choices there.
Usually I am complaining about the opposite. I think the Mavs need to slow it down. Cannot run and gun with the Warriors.
Lots of defensive confusion that is uncharacteristic of the Mavericks lately.
Brunson's defense has been HORRIFIC this whole quarter.
It's like he doesn't want to play tonight.
THJ not even defending at all there.
WTF are these guys doing??
