Ugh...............

THey scaaaared. lol

Ur right line went from Mavs-6 to Mavs -1. It’s still insulting they are favored with both their guys out.

The league needs to crack down on load management for road games. I know there is no way to police it because they can just fake an injury, but it really sucks for the fans.

I have to believe Dallas wants to win every game. They are tied for the 6th spot with OKC and 6 games clear of of a hot Memphis team for the 8th seed. My money is on the Lakers and Clippers finishing 1 and 2. It would probably be in Dallas best interest to finish 6th or better if they want a chance to get out of the 1st round.

How does Bembry have abdominal pain? He has been cleared to play ever since the Cleveland game before the All star break.

Could have gotten injured in practice?.

Truly a fragile season which includes a debilitating suspension against us.

Yep. Vince and Jones have been the only 2 players that haven't missed time from injury.

Hawks -1.5 now. 2.5 point swing makes sense.

Well Luka's out so all of the talk above is now meaningless (listed as right ankle soreness, but probably load management for him and Kristaps because they believe they can beat the Hawks without them).

Honestly that sucks. I was looking forward to seeing how he and Trae did, now I won't get the chance and I'm not sure I'll watch, plus Dallas is so good at sharing the ball without Luka and Kristaps.

He’s missed more than 20% of the games this year.

Cool

Still on the side of it being cockiness of load management (and likely rightness too sadly right now). They think they can rest Luka and completely stomp on the Hawks again.

AND?  That's what we expect, isn't it...

Does anyone know if there was a different pa announcer on Thursday? I only ask because they weren’t saying “ for Threeeeeeeeeee” after every 3 pointer .  

I prefer the way it was announced on thursday.

Definitely was a different PA, but I don't know who he is.  I too prefer his call over the usual.

Hunter returns!

I enjoy how engaged Skal has been on the bench for us. You can tell he is really itching to play basketball. His body language last night compared to someone like Teague for instance, is night and day. Skal loves this game, you see it, and he is hurting not being on the floor. Capela has been great too, but Skal just has a different intensity in his demeanor, he wants to be here and he is ready to compete. 

[Vol4ever]

I still dont understand why Capela isn't playing.  Nobody seems to want to talk about it.
