MavsBoard

Every remaining game is a must win at this point.

If Mavs win, they are within one game with Lakers

Detroit will be playing basically without all veterans

Detroit got the message: If you're a tanking team you need to tank VERY hard or the Mavs might find a way to screw you ...

Lol, not sure that Detroit playing a bunch of young, athletic dudes bodes any better for the Mavs than Detroit playing their veterans.  Either way, must win game, get it done.

Also, will D-man Burke get the start?

This. Not playing Plumlee is a win now move.

Tonight we have the NFL draft 1st round in addition to the Mavs. Who knows how the draft will go, but hopefully our boys do their part to make sure that dual-fans can be happy about at least one outcome. Must win game.

They probably want to rub Bey and Stewart in our faces.

There won't be a better game to rest him. And it probably makes more sense to rest him than completely exhaust him before playoffs. A huge back to back this weekend.

DSJ turns heel on the Pistons and re-joins Mavs before the tip-off.

No Luka

At least it is an early start.

Starting lineup will be: Brunson, J Rich, THJ, Powell, KP I imagine. With Pistons resting their guys (most notably Jerami Grant) this seems like a must win.

Interesting.  J-Rich is available to play but is not starting.  Redick takes his place.  I wonder if Rick and the coaching staff will make that a permanent move and have J-Rich come off the bench moving forward.

Apparently it was a mistake, JRich is starting.
What is the definition of insanity again???

This should be KPs game.
