This might be one of the hardest edits I've seen this year for a Mavs highlight.


RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Luka Qualifies for SuperMax - Jason Terry - 04-01-2024

We cracked the code it seems. We have an identity: control the paint on both ends of the court in every way. Everything else suddenly becomes easy.

We’re title contenders this year. Jordan and the greats always make the finals before anyone expects. It sneaks up. Good time to be a mavs fan


RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Luka Qualifies for SuperMax - MFFL - 04-01-2024

Per DMN

Dallas and New Orleans split their season series, 2-2, but the next tie-breaker for teams that are in the same division is division record. The Mavericks are 10-5 in division play; the Pelicans are 9-6. Both teams have one division game remaining.

The Mavericks would clinch the tie-breaker over New Orleans with a Pelicans loss to the Spurs on Friday; or a Dallas win over Houston in American Airlines Center next Sunday. If the teams finish with the same division record, the next tie-breaker would be conference record. Dallas is 29-19 against the West; the Pelicans are 26-19.

I don't see that as a possibility. The Clippers are 2 games up on us in the standings AND they own the tiebreaker.

I would be happy with finishing ahead of New Orleans and the 5th seed.

5th seed puts DAL playing LACs for first round. Playoff Luka and the new, bigger rotation give DAL a chance to revenge past eliminations.

But Playoff Kawahi worries me. Although, after the initial run post-Hardin acqusition, they have played so-so basketball. But the motivation goes up once the playoffs begin.

Mavericks are probably not the team to beat in the West. That title still belongs to Denver. BUT we are undoubtedly the team no one wants to see in the playoffs.

Get ready for Kwahi to mysteriously and conveniently not miss any mid-range shots...especially in 4th or when it matters.

Its predictable.

The two series they eliminated us...Leonard couldnt miss.   Watched him next series after us...missing same shots he couldnt miss against us.   Seems weird to me.

Now this I can agree with. The Mavs are a scary team to play if they continue to play well. But we all know, things can change in the blink of an eye. Denver is still the favorite IMO.


RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Luka Qualifies for SuperMax - omahen - 04-01-2024

West playoffs will be crazy good. All eight teams will be very good and no series will be easy. We will very likely see a couple of surprises the first round already and I would not think it as impossible if one of the play-in teams go very far. Lets hope Mavs will be one of those surprises.

MFFL reporting Mavs will waive Dwight Powell.

But I'm not sure why. Must be a reason. I mean beyond the expected jokes that is.

Are they opening up a spot to take on a playoff addition? Personally, I thought Morris would be more of a waiver candidate.

Abrupt end to a guy who has been the consumate team player.

EDIT...Finally snapped as to the date about 2 hours later.

It’s got to be an April Fools’ prank!!!


RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Luka Qualifies for SuperMax - Ghost of Podkolzin - 04-01-2024

WTF? This makes no sense, other than Morris can play all 3 frontcourt positions.


RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Luka Qualifies for SuperMax - omahen - 04-01-2024

Of course it is an April fools prank. Zero chance it would be anything else

I got a relative with a good one today. The look on her face when she realized... priceless.


RE: MAVS NEWS: Luka's MVP Case | Luka Qualifies for SuperMax - Ghost of Podkolzin - 04-01-2024

LAC has the tiebreaker and is 2 games up, meaning we have to gain 3 games in 8.

LAC Sched:
04/02 SAC (L)
04/04 DEN (L)
04/05 UTH (W)
04/07 CLE (W)
04/09 PHX (L)
04/10 PHX (L)
04/12 UTA (W)
04/14 HOU (L)
3-5

DAL:
04/02 GS (W)
04/04 ATL (W)
04/05 GS (W)
04/07 HOU (L)
04/09 CLT (W)
04/10 MIA (W)
04/12 DET (W)
04/14 OKC (L)
6-2

Quite possible...

I can't imagine beating GS twice especially since that would be a season sweep of them (4-0) AND they are fighting to make the final playoff spot.

I'd love to be wrong but...

Ghost of Podkolzin is pretty ambitious. At Miami is going to be tough, They are fighting to stay out of the play-in. Atlanta beat Boston twice in 3 days. There are winnable games, but it won't be the cakewalk some think..
