  4. Ayton non existent for 4 quarters with lively not on the court makes me very happy that we didn’t make any trade

  8. Can’t believe everyone from our starting lineup to the second stringers have been injured except for Luka.

    Headband Daddy is an iron man.

  9. Whole team’s injured and we’re still winning. Luka needs a game off. Man’s exhausted out there

  12. Morris was a savior in this game.

    Also, it was so refreshing to see the 2nd team hold and extend the lead when Luka was on the bench.
    Usually it’s a disaster.

  20. We are deeper than we have ever been with Luka, more athletic, younger, and full of unrecognized potential. 3 big minute players haven’t been in the rotation. He won’t have to carry the load this year.

  21. Exum, THJ, DJJ and Morris helped with scoring. I hope Grant will find his rhythm after that Grizz comeback game.

    I hope all our injured players heal up quickly.

  23. i will maybe get downvoted but let’s take the L against the nugget and rest the good player still alive

  24. This game felt like that game last week, frustrating injury, up double digits for most of the second half, blazers constantly clawing back, and some of the supporting cast making timely 3’s. Just glad this is the last game of the season in Portland because these injuries suck.

  28. I would seriously consider putting Morris in the starting lineup, especially when Lively and Kai comes back. He’s a big 6’9 guy who can shoot and sort of defend. That puts more size on the court.

  30. I forgot about Thybulle almost being a Mav. Doesn’t look like he’s making a huge impact for Blazers wonder what he would’ve been like on Mavs.

  31. For real though wtf is going on with super efficient Exum not getting minutes? Is he hurt or has he been overplayed and they’re resting him?

  32. Luka is avg 39.7 minutes over the Mavs last 10 games. This isn’t sustainable they need Kyrie to get healthy in the worst way possible.

  34. Drove 500 miles to see the mavs today! I’m 17 but I saved for a while and got seats only 4 rows up from the court! Amazing to watch everyone in person after watching on the screen for years.

  38. Our bench is deep if we can just get healthy. Hopefully by mid Jan we can get everyone back and start really rolling.

  39. Poor old Thybulle. He wanted to be a Mav, but now he’s stuck on the post-Dame Blazers, who are on the fast-track to irrelevancy. Hope he manages to end up in Dallas before too much longer.

  40. You can insert those Exum drives to the basket directly into my veins. So good to get some “easy” basket from someone other than Luka.

  41. Nice to get a win.

    – Exum continues to play really well, what a sight

    – Grant looked horrible today, nothing on offense and getting walked by J.Grant

    – Prosper went nuts grabbing 5 important boards in 6 minutes, I thought he really earned more playing time

    – I have a hard time understanding how the Blazers are so bad, they’re really using their talent in the worst possible way

  42. It’s amazing to look at the bottom of our bench and we have Morris providing productive minutes (due to all the injuries). Compared to Theo and that lot last year, it’s quite a step up.

    And honestly no shade to Pinson, but he wasn’t cut out to make the roster.

  43. We are gonna get blown out by the Nuggets, Clippers and Rockets without Kyrie and Lively, aren’t we? 🙁

  44. Luka with the standard “I either shoot well from 3 or from the free throw line” game. xD

  46. Since putting on the headband Luka has lead the Mavs to a 5-1 record with 36.5/8.0/11.2 splits and most incredibly: 92% FT shooting.
