Real sad to see Luka on the report. Hope hes ok
I'd rather we play it safe with Lively here and not risk aggravating it. There isn't a team worse at feeding their bigs than Portland and they're missing three bigs to start with. If there's a team that can't take advantage of the red carpet Powell would roll out to the layup line it's this one

48 minutes of Powell/Williams at center, baby! I'm in!

Williams questionable too. So basically 48 mins of Powell!

And Holmes out. (There's something going on there behind the scenes with him, I'm just not sure what)
Luka and Lively are out for tonight. Lets hope Kyrie can still lead them to victory. Portland has been really bad last game.

Yikes.
The Memphis game sans Luka where Kyrie crapped the bed has given me PTSD. I REALLY hope the Mavs don't blow one of their few easy wins this season tonight.
I don't feel like we are good enough to rest Luka. Hopefully Kyrie comes through, but he hasn't been back long. This is a must win. They can't lose the gimmes.
Who is even available today
Especially if GW will also be ruled out. DJJ will be the second tallest player on the team, if I don't count Omax. We would only have Kyrie, THJ, Seth, Hardy, Green, DJJ and Powell out of regular rotation guys.

I don't think they are resting Luka
Now GW is also officialy out
So Powell the only center and DJJ the only PF (backed by Omax). This will be difficult to win
I dunno guys. It’s still Portland. My money’s on Kyrie and the kids.

He looks pretty good so far.
They play faster without Luka. It’s fun, and I forgot about that.
Defense is better, too.
Love the start by Green. Not even with the offense…but that is nice. He has been super active. This is the player he needs to be.
Sure hope Powell is OK.
Not sure the Mavs can win without him.
O-Max out there disrupting shots immediately. Second one got called a foul, but I don’t think it should have.
Big shot, green!
