Last year we completed the Texas Sweep, time to go for round 2. Must win game.
Josh getting a big, fat L for his birthday. Thanks, Luka!
Anything less than 40 points for Wood I will consider a disappointment

That can only make playing with Luka better, imo, and it's almost worth losing to try to accomplish. I feel that strongly.
I’m not referring to wining or losing. I’m referring to Hardy’s individual progression and growth. If he’s not ready to play minutes against NBA players then don’t rush it.
I’ll trust the coaches on this one.

Tim Hardaway Jr will paralyze any 2nd or 3rd stringers offensive growth tonight by chucking non-stop at any and every chance like he is supposed to be some Hero savior.
I bet Tim has been one of the happiest guys alive since learning Luka is out tonight. Selfish ass dude.
I predict Timmy comes up big, his shot gets on track, the Mavs win, and the Ukranian war ends.

Yeah, if you can trust the Mavs on one thing it´s the development of young players.
How are they supposed to adjust to the NBA level, when they never get to experience it. Playing in G-League is fine, but certain games like this one (B2B vs. worst team in league) should be marked for some developmental minutes. It´s amazing how this franchise seems completely unable to learn.
I don't know why but I hate Ryan Hollins so much.

You should interview for a coaching position. (;
I don’t mean to be rude. I just think there are legit reasons to gripe about the coaching decisions this year and Hardy playing or not playing isn’t one of them.
He may never play a meaningful minute in the NBA. Who knows.
Josh needs to look to score more.
Brutal start from both teams. And sadly the Mavs aren´t bringing the kind of energy I hoped for. Rockets cannot make a shot but at least they are fighting for rebounds and lose balls.
Would forcing Green to drive and shoot violate some state employment law?
So far this game feels like an endorsement for Luka-ball. And it is pretty obvious that Kidd has no backup plan. Just throwing guys on the floor and hoping that someone can create on offense.
What the hell was that set we were running when Camp chucked that brick? lol
Liked the stint but Facu. Has the ball moving and upping the pace. Nice.
Just Don’t have him shoot.
Liked Josh took a tad more time shooting his free throw too
Facu hustles his ass off.
Facu should get fined every time he takes a three. And for as athletic as Josh is, he sure isn't smooth when he attacks the cup.
Can we trade McGee for Boban...Luka would be a lot happier. And it´s not like it makes a difference on the court.
What's Campazzo's nickname again? Brick oven? He's fun to watch. I wonder how much longer Boban decides to play.
