For those of you who want to play the Nuggets in the first round: judging by the current standings do we even want to win this one?

Must lose game
Well, if Rick would play WCS and Boban more, I'd still rather play the Nuggets than the Clippers. But the way the Mavs are so soft, I don't expect it to matter much who we play.
We're not gonna be 8th seed. We are going to end up either 5th,6th, or 7th seed. If i had to bet, it would be on 7th seed vs Clippers, sweep.
And as good as OKC has been this year, It's pretty damn sad that OKC is on top of the Mavs.
Mavs just don't know how to win yet. They know how to beat an opponent; but they don't understand what a knockout punch is, how to close a game; or even how to win. And the part that sucks is that learning only comes through experience; so expect some playoff heartbreak this year and more close losses.
Hopefully next year; they are more prepared on what it means to win games.
The good news about facing the Clippers is that if somehow we beat them 4 out of 7 times, our next opponents on the 2nd round would be an "easier" task and our confidence and morale would be on the roof.
Must win game, as always.

Boban. Coaches Decision-Quarantined.

Not beating the Clipps 4 times in a series, unless they have major, major injuries. Mavs aren't ready yet.
Really hope @"Dahlsim", @"dmavs4life03" and @"bartlettbear" are watching right now. The mighty Boban is getting exposed on defense again. Mavs gave up open 3s on 7/8 possessions so far.
Jackson vs Millsap won´t work.
Nice D by Maxi on Plumlee. Of course, we come down after that and blow a layup, which sends the Nuggets the other way for a layup, which they do NOT blow.
Constantly giving up open layups and threes is really demoralizing. Makes the Mavs hard to watch at times.
Jackson on Mullisap is such a disservice to this team and Jackson. He is not a 4
Amazing they are hanging with Millsap doing whatever he wants.
Looks like Lee is getting KP's misses.
Every ball seems to roll in for the Nuggs, just as they did last night for the Spurs.
WCS probable..probably DNP-CD
