Game 38: Dallas Mavericks (14-23) @ Utah Jazz (12-24)

Im sorry, but I think AD is quite undervalued on this board. The longer he stays healthy, the more in game shape and game rhythm he gets, and the more impressive his play is. He has seemed pretty dominant, recently, and I think players of his caliber are difficult to find at any age.

[KillerLeft]

Also, Flagg has taken another step forward. He’s reading the court much better than he was to start the season. Maybe even better than he was last week.

[KillerLeft]

Flagg hitting a fallaway with .05 on the inbound is Luka stuff.

[cow]

That Flagg three will probably be reversed but that's a hell of a shot.

[BoredAssistant]

I was gonna say that shot reminded me of Luka's shot against Portland.

[cow]

Utah surging and AD hurt.

[KillerLeft]

See, replace Marshall with an actual shooter, and Utah is regretting that double team. Flagg made an exceptional pass over the top of the defense. Brick city.

[KillerLeft]

Another fun loss.

[RBB]

Well...another shitty loss.

[cow]

Wonder how bad AD's wrist/hand is...

[Chicagojk]

A loss. Doesn’t really matter. Still though this team is better than it has shown. Way too many times they make bad teams look better than they are. Strange. Regardless, I think they are trying to win too. No ethical tank. I just feel like the coach hasn’t done great this year with this team if odd fitting parts. They should be better.

[KillerLeft]

Well...another shitty loss.

Nah, this was a great loss. Flagg, AD, Thompson and Christie all looked awesome. Lottery odds go up.

[cow]

Klay with his predictable attempt at hero ball.

[KillerLeft]

I agree they aren’t taking yet, but we can still enjoy the loss. We all know where this is headed.

AD gonna be out for a while?

[RBB]

So...just to ask since I didn't see the game...how did AD get hurt?

[KillerLeft]

AD gonna be out for a while?

I doubt it. It was just his finger. I don’t know if it was broken or just sprained, but it feels like the kind of thing they can just tape up and send them back out. Just bad luck that it happened with two minutes left in the game.

[KillerLeft]

So...just to ask since I didn't see the game...how did AD get hurt?

Non-shooting hand pinky finger got caught in markannen’s jersey. I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s gonna be bad.

[Chicagojk]

Didn’t look bad when he did it, but his reaction looked bad. May not be good. May be worse though if it wasn’t bad for how he acted.
