GAME 37: DEN (26-11) @ DAL (23-14) | 106-107 loss

[fifteenth]

We had gotten that defense up above the x axis before KP went down. Come back soon KP!

[omahen]

Live and die by a three. Denver has very good defense so I am affraid its die. One thing to note - Luka had perhaps worse game of the season in the first game against Denver.

[Scott41theMavs]

Mavs favored? Without KP? I'll have what those oddsmakers are smoking, please.

[ballsrchr]

I'm not sure if I'm smoking the right stuff or not...but regardless of what the Vegas odds makers say...I will always vote for the Mavs.  In addition...every schedule I've looked at has the game on Wednesday...jan. 8th.  Are they wrong?

Once again we will have to rely on Luka being special to get a win because our defense has been a layup line with KP out.

Same thing here. When is the game?

My mistake. Fixed in title.

Thank God, known Mavs killer Will the Thrill Barton is out

Thank God, known Mavs killer Will the Thrill Barton is out

Yeah. But this is a game where KP will be extremely missed. Imagine DFS or JJ against Jokic, Millsap or Plumlee. Boby should play and let's hope he will have an excellent game.

Thank God, known Mavs killer Will the Thrill Barton is out

Yeah. But this is a game where KP will be extremely missed. Imagine DFS or JJ against Jokic, Millsap or Plumlee. Boby should play and let's hope he will have an excellent game.

Hopefully Jokic is a little tired after his 47 point game against Atlanta. He's a Mav killer, but his conditioning is his achilles heel.

[dirkfansince1998]

Only having 2 bigs (maybe 3 if Boban gets minutes) against a team that likes to play Plumlee-Jokic or Jokic-Millsap lineups will be a problem.
I would like to see Maxi start vs Jokic. Match their minutes and hope that our best defender can at least contain him. He did a good job in the 1st game against them. Hope that Powell can hold his own on defense or at least punish them on offense.

Yes, the one thing Boban could do to really help us would be to grab defensive rebounds and get the Mavs out on the break, which would force Jokic to run fast and tire out.  This would also limit the Nuggz' second chance point opportunities.

[Flipper]

Glad to see Wright is starting in place of Barea.

[Jym]

Maybe we'll finally get to see 32 minutes of Wright.
Should be happening every night
