Very important game. Warriors are not that far behind and a win against them would count as double. Lets hope Luka will be able to play. Also, it looks like Irving is closing towards playing again, finally.

Plus, the Warriors are kind of in a bad way and vulnerable. The Mavs will either capitalize on that or help GS get out of their funk.

Me too!
I also hate 1- and 2-game losing streaks.

Can't allow what happened vs Cleveland again. Quit blowing leads!

Also, January schedule will be again very tough. It starts with Utah and two games against Portland, but then we only play good teams till end of the month (Atlanta is perhaps the weakest). Minny twice, Boston, a bunch of West playoff competitors and a couple of playoff teams in the East (Orlando, NY).

I hope this one is true and Luka really is playing

Also, looks like Looney will be available for GSW

That is because there are 20ish very close playoff contenders in the league. Every team this year and last has a tough schedule.

I support the decision to move Hardaway back to the bench. I do not support the decision to put Hardy in his place.

Good Mavs shooting and bad GSW shooting made the difference. But if that changes, Mavs will have a hard time winning this one.

One of the most impressive things about Lively is that he’s SO clearly ahead of his years, defensively, he even kind of gets a good whistle from the refs. I defy someone to say they saw that coming.

Friends, when Luka, Kyrie, Exum, Green, Hardaway, DJJ, Williams and Lively are all healthy and locked in, this is a good team. If they can get Kleber back into form they might be the best team of the Luka era.

That fast break between Hardaway and Green was breathtakingly beautiful on both of their parts.

Most confident green game in quite a while.
Nobody ever hangs out in the game thread anymore. KillerLeft feels sad.

Whenever I watch, they play like shit and I get angry AF.
I’ll probably watch the DVR of this one later if they hang on.

GSW did improve their shooting, but Mavs stayed hot and secured an important win. Everyone played good game on offense. Didn't like THJ defense

I so love Exum on this team. What a find.
