MavsBoard

This is by far the toughest of our last four games. The Grizz are going to be fighting to get into the top half of the playin. 

I would love to see the Mavs gird their loins and administer a big-boy beating to these upstarts as opposed to assuming, "Oh, we'll win the last three games" and putting their playoff positioning/destiny in other teams' hands.

We should be up for this one, since they're a playoff team. Got to stay ahead of the Blazers. Must win.

Huge game. Mavs win and it is more or less rest for the rest of the regular season. Mavs lose and it will be interesting.

I want them to win, and my goodness, it's important that they do. But, if KP is playing, what I REALLY want is some indication that he's going to be able to contribute on the defensive end. I think I care more about that than the result, tbqh.

Ah, I see. Then just win!

What about Kleber? They need length to guard JJJ whose been playing pretty good since his return, not to mention Valencunas. Memphis is on the comeup, but I don't know if they win a game of this magnitude. I guess we'll see tonight.

Excited for this game. My wife and I are going to be in attendance tonight in Memphis.

Assuming the young stars continue to grow and shine, Memphis likely to remain a strong rival for the next few years at least. We’ve already locked up the division title this year, time to show them that’s how it’s gonna stay over those years. Must win game.

That's awesome! We'll get to hold you responsible for the win or loss! :-)

Gonna try my best to bring home a W! 

The Mavs can't count on Utah beating Portland tomorrow night, as Dame is just too good.  Therefore, must win game tonight!

Grayson Allen - LT Abdominal Soreness

Translation: no guts.

Mempis going down tonight.

Valančiūnas can be a handful so that helps. Obv Grayson went nuts last game before he choked at the end so don't mind him being out. JJJ wasn't back yet last game and Mavs still almost lost.

With those key injuries, the stars are aligned for another win. Mavs having nothing but good fortune lately.

So the last B2B starts with a Grizz team without some of their key players and finishes in DAL with a Zion-less NOP team? Followed, in DAL, by a TOR team already eliminated and ending with a MIN team needing to tank a few for better lottery odds?

I like the chances to win out, but I worry that they may go to sleep on one or two of these games.

Like those odds and Mavs really prob only need to win one more game to secure a top 6 seed given that the Lakers are unlikely to win out. I think Mavs will want to play well to end the season. It will be interesting to see what they do with their guys. Luka, DFS in particular seem worn out.
