Gawd, is he what we needed. When all is healthy, Klay needs to move to 6th man.

#Blazers forwards Jerami Grant (face contusion) and Matisse Thybulle (right ankle sprain) are out for tonight's game against the #Mavs.

Robert Williams III (rest) is questionable.

Seriously makes me so happy he is a Mav. Never seriously thought the Pistons would give us to him for THJ of all players.

Freezing rain outside. No Luka or Kyrie. Playing the Blazers. They gotta be giving away tickets to tonight's game.

Me neither. I would have kept Grimes, but they saw that THJ is an expiring deal, so maybe they can move him at the TDL, less than a month away and continue to makeover the team. THJ had 26 pts in one of their wins. Detroit has played really well. 5 straight wins, and they're 18-17 and are not the pushover's they were last year.

We can’t catch a break

Dallas Mavericks big man Markieff Morris (illness) has been downgraded to out for tonight's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Gafford is available to play tonight

[JamesConway912]

I don’t know how to post gifs nowadays but everyone please try to envision the spongebob meme where that one fish is grabbing his eyes in pain. I think they’re on fire, too.

==> What a brutal first 6 minutes.

[KillerLeft]

Excellent defense from O-Max at the end of the quarter.

[Mavs2021]

I went on a riverboat tour tonight and the flow of the rivers was very lacking. Any of you fellas know rivers with a stable flowrate it would grealy be appreciated.

[KillerLeft]

Hardy balling.

The combo of Lively and O-Max on defense and on the glass looks great!

[Mavs2021]

Also why is Maxi playing PF again. At least let Maxi play C and Lively be the PF. He has a better chance to contest outside shots.

[JamesConway912]

Seeing Hardy and Omax perform well is such a blessing. I think they may have found something with Hardy playing a lot less on ball and Omax just needs to learn on the job. If they can help the team weather the storm over the next weeks that would be a great thing. Both playing well right now.

[KillerLeft]

Kidd trying Kleber against Clingan… gonna try to pull him out of the paint, I guess. Definitely worth a try, because Gafford couldn’t keep him off the glass at all.

Didn’t last very long. Lively back in.

[Mavs2021]

I can only take so much of the Dinwiddie experience.

[Mavs2021]

This is a real tough game due to the stretch fives on the Blazers. NO IT`S NOT. Park your a**** in the paint. Yikes.

[GATA]

Need more Maxi less Gafford
