Christian Wood on playing the Mavs tomorrow night:

"Knowing it's my former team, I definitely want to go at those guys."

Editors note: Almost a third of the league is his former team.

Given the scheduling, a Mavs victory tonight should be in the bag. If they lose that will be a harbinger of another lottery season.

Wow!

Sounds like a “Must-win” game!

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

Prediction: Wood 22pts, 10rbs, 2blks in a losing effort.

We've kind of gotten the short end of the stick from the refs the last couple of games. So I'm not happy to see the Lakers right now

[SwisherPrice]

How dare Kidd play Holmes over the great Dwight Powell?

[IamDougieFresh]

Dwight Powell’s time is once again OOOOOOVVVVVVERRRERERRRRRR.

(It won’t be)

Glad to see Holmes playing well. I really thought he was going to be the starter early in the year. If not, I thought he would at least be in the rotation. Doesn't look like he's washed to me.

[IamDougieFresh]

Anyone with a pair of eyeballs can see that Holmes contests shots better than Dwight. ITS DONE. ENOUGH.

Hopefully this is the end for Powell.

At least part of your prediction seems to be coming true.

Kidd deserves some flowers for this. Powell's defense was just embarrassing against Sabonis (and in other games, too), but I just assumed they would keep rolling with him because Dwight Powell

(good first half for Green, too)

[SwisherPrice]

Noooo Lively is gonna be done for a while it seems

[IamDougieFresh]

The laws of the universe dictate that Dwight Powell must play. Therefore you sickos who advocate for him after every terrible playoff showing are complicit in Lively’s injury.

Not really. Took him too long to realize DP should be thrid string.

[BigDirk41]

Can we blow a 20 point lead heading into the 4th? We're sure trying to.

[SwisherPrice]

The Powell and Hardy minutes were killer

[BigDirk41]

Powell should be a coach. That's his calling. He's sure not a player.

That looked bad.
