GAME 33: DAL (21-12) @ OKC (18-15) | 101-106 loss

[Kammrath]

[ThunderMav]

Last game OKC was without Dennis, Gallo and Diallo (plus Robes which is now 2 years).  Not sure if these players will play or not.  I don’t see us winning this game if they are out and maybe not if they are in.  Workload has been high on others, and will catch up.

This is a great listen.  Adams is such a funny guy and separate from BB is why I hope we can keep him.  Its 40 minutes long but worth it.

On the game I will go:

Mavs 112
Thunder 108

This person is not a OKC beat writer either.  Pretty lofty praise.

Its possible if the redraft was done Doncic goes 1 (actually thats a no brainer) and SGA goes 2.  Everything I heard at/after PG trade was Clippers did not want to give up SGA but Presti played hardball and held firm.

We too might be without players so will be an interesting game if so many miss game

Must win game y'all.

Luka cannot catch a freaking break. He's the only superstar I've seen get routinely thrashed without a single whistle.


Can you imagine the shit storm if that was Lebron? Harden? It'd never happen. Sucks that Luka is questionable once again. I hope he's okay.

I'm afraid we are due for a losing streak.

[mtrot]

Well, I was so wrong about the Lakers game that I'm not even going to hazard a guess about this one.  But I won't again have a good feeling about the Mavs' chances until I seem them come out a lot stronger than they did yesterday.

I hope so, I'm leaving to go to the game at 12 today. Meeting up with one of my nephews (who is a Thunder first fan, but a Mavs fan too...when they're not playing the Thunder) to watch it with him. Would love to see Luka play there!

[DrMav]

Well, I’m on a streak of games I’m unable to watch live and it continues again tonight. I gotta work overnight again, and I’d really like to see a win to watch tomorrow morning. 

As such, this is for sure a must win game.

Have fun!  If you haven’t been up here in a while you will find some changes.  The Streetcar is running.  Just across arena new Omni and Convention Center are topped out and both open next year.  Scizzortail Park is open and will be packed for NYE tonight (also right by arena/Omni/CC).  Have fun and enjoy the game.

Thanks, we will! We didn't make it up last year cause I was just out of the hospital, but were there the 2 years before. It's a yearly tradition with this nephew and his wife.

This was Omni/CC 10 days ago. Arena is just to left across road.  Park is to the right.  Streetcar rides are free all day/night and run til 2am.

They were both out vs Toronto.  Plus Diallo has been out past month.

Diallo is getting close I wonder if he plays?

I want Luka to play he is great for the sport and fans

[jesusshuttlesworth82]

I was close to driving up for the game but didnt want to risk it if Luka didnt play.  FFFFUUUUUUUUU

[Aussiebballer]

Brunson in for THJ.
Could help if they try and double team Luka to get the ball out of his hands.
Dallas seem to have lacked another play maker in the starting lineup.

OKC Twitter is a bit more vague but it looks like Gallo and Schroder are playing.
