Kyrie officially out, per Stein.

This will be an interesting game. The people who hate Dinwiddie might not enjoy watching. I'm so high on this team right now, I'm not even sure they'll lose. Part of me expects a triple double from Marshall or PJW, somehow.

Our last game was 4 days ago and still our two best players are out in an important game today, that really sucks… Let‘s hope they somehow beat the Clippers who are also missing several key players in Leonard, Mann and to somehow also George.

Even Williams is out. Gortman surely gets 25+ minutes tonight.

Gortman surely gets 25+ minutes tonight.

Wow, if you're right, my interest in this game just increased, significantly.

[SleepingHero]

No Luka, no Kyrie, no Exum, and no Hardy.

Basically only Grimes and Dinwiddie our only guards.

Going to be a tough game to be honest.

[Mavs2021]

Took me to minutes to say: Can´t wait till Harden retires and I wanted Dunn so bad, when he went 50/40/90 during his NBA return season in Utah.

[SleepingHero]

Honestly very grit play so far. PJ hitting his 3s is so needed. Dinwiddie trying to do his best Luka impression with some good and some bad.

So far Grimes is playing at 100mph and needs to slow down. Would love if Kidd could get Klay some more open looks, but I love that he's finding Lively in the PnR.

[KillerLeft]

Need a big Dinwiddie game to win this. Gonna be a lot of Naji Marshall point forward with the bench group.

Good to see how much confidence PJW continues to gain.

[KillerLeft]

Interesting that DJJ is back at the “extremely undersized” 4, where he was for his entire career before Dallas, too. I know Kawhi Leonard is out, but I wonder who would go to the bench if he was healthy.

[KillerLeft]

Very smart, the way they just arranged all that screening action to get Zubac onto Dinwiddie.

[SleepingHero]

Crazy they call that Dinwiddie foul in the act of shooting but they didn't give his and-1 the continuation.

[KillerLeft]

Yep, Dinwiddie has a bright green light tonight.

[SleepingHero]

I LOVE that dribble pull up by Grimes.

[SleepingHero]

Insane how many whistles Harden gets. 4 FTA already.

[SleepingHero]

Naji welcome back with that crazy floater!

[SleepingHero]

Man its bad that I didn't even realize Maxi was out there for so long. Like I knew he was in the game, but he's basically been a ghost out there on both ends of the court.

[KillerLeft]

Looks like offense will be tough to come by, so I hope they don’t get beaten back in transition like that again.

Gafford man handling Mo Bamba!

The Gort has hit the court!
