Time to bust out my newly purchased, and deeply discounted, Luka Mavs jersey.

AD back tonight. Let’s see if he looks any better from his first few games.

This team will lose plenty…especially during this stretch. Although I think we need to get ready for this team to be not as bad as they looked. AD in the li rip, and improving Flagg and hopefully better Pg play will make this team a tad below average and not awful imo.

We certainly have a knack for keeping games close.

Curious to see if AD has heart or if he will play like last time ha faced Luka.

[Reunion Mav]

Is this game available on local TV or just Prime?

[Smitty]

Anthony Davis will be on a minutes restriction of 24 to 27 minutes, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd announces.


Mavericks rookie guard Ryan Nembhard is expected to make his first NBA start against the Lakers tonight, @TheSteinLine has learned.

Nembhard, on a two-way contract, put himself in line for the promotion in Anthony Davis' return game with a huge fourth quarter Monday in Miami.

Looks like Prime exclusively.

I'm not sure if the NBA is trying to perpetuate the torture of Mavs fans or if they are trying to protect us from the agony of watching our team get slaughtered.

[cow]

It's just too painful to watch.

[RBB]

Didn't the announcers say that the Lakers have had like 3 close games (I forget the exact term he used) and the Mavs have had 15 of them.

[RBB]

Hey...Davis has played 12+ minutes already and isn't hurt yet. Do we consider that a win? LOL.

[BoredAssistant]

I think it's close because AD didn't shoot any dumb ass three pointers.

[RBB]

Mavs should have demanded Reeves as part of the Luka trade...or not done it.

[Mavs2021]

Think I just learned: No need to go to the default rivers, since this game is on Prime. Also learned that this is not the Lakers local broadcast, cause sure sounded like it from Candace Parker.

[Mavs2021]

Small chance AD gets hurt as long as he allows literally everybody from age 19 to 41 drive by him in slow motion.

[SwisherPrice]

Nembhard dominating...looks like he may take the starting PG spot and never look back now

[Mavs2021]

To watch Reaves only adds to the dumbf*ckery.

[RBB]

Nembhard's having a nice game.

[Mavs2021]

Scheduled win tomorrow. Clippers lost 2nd half to Grizz by 20. They just have no legs. Tomorrow they´ll be even worse. Thunder getting a high lottery pick. Unreal.

[SwisherPrice]

Not much defense being played by either team. I wonder what Nico is thinking right now
