  2. And that’s it

    That was a dumb play by maxi , what was he trying to achieve jumping so high especially with these dirty defenders

  4. Damn, Maxi’s size and defense are gonna be huge losses. We can still somewhat make up for that, but someone else gotta start hitting 3s real quick.

  5. Jesus Christ… So next man up? Who? We have no size at his position. Hope Maxi will heal completely without longterm effects.

  7. That sucks. Especially that it was so unnecessery. He is our only real backup power forward.

  11. Next man up. Green/Exum will probably get Maxi’s minutes with DJJ sliding into the backup 4 when PJ sits. I think we can manage the Thunder without him since they don’t have size, but he’ll be missed against the Nuggets or Wolves

  12. Oof and maxi’s body recovers like the elderly…this probably ups THJ(if healthy) and Powells minutes to offset size and shooting 😔

  13. fuck this sucks but we deal.

    everyone’s hobbled in the post season we just gotta make work with what we got

  15. Ppl are going realize just how much flexibility a 6’10” guy who can defend 1-5 brought to our team. Our small ball lineup is going to very small now.

  16. I hate the drawing a charge just outside the restricted area play. The defender is almost never trying to make a play on the ball only trying to get underneath the offensive player. This type of play is responsible for so many injuries. They really need to increase the size of the restricted area or change how those charges are called. Julius Randle out with nearly the same injury for the exact same reason. Just an idiotic way of playing defense.

  17. Tough loss. He’s incredibly important to this team. Get well soon Maxi.

    However, it’s a good thing that they found out now prior to the start of the second round. They can try different things and see what works and what doesn’t.

  20. If you had told Mavs fans a couple of months ago this was going to happen, most would have shrugged it off, including myself. He has made such a turnaround recently, and shown what a value he is to this team. What a huge loss. Get better big guy.

  23. Next man up. If y’all thought we could go an entire playoff run without a single injury that’s delusional. Reminder that the Mavs won in 2011 without their second best scorer in Caron Butler.

  24. The bad ass part of it is he made 1/2 free throws right after that before leaving the game. Not a big fan of his normally but you have got to respect him for that.

  25. We just lost our best shooter from this playoffs so far, what are we gonna do lol we may need THJ this series or we are in trouble

  27. All of you that have been begging for less maxi minutes are about to see just how big his impact on our defense and spacing was. 

  31. All you “supporters” who spent the entire season bitching about Maxi being a Maverick will see just how important he is to the team. Sending healing energy to Maxi.
