Need to better lock in these rotations for the last 11 games. No more Poole next to curry. A lineup of curry Poole with jmg at the five has no chance of stopping somebody unless maybe gp2 and Wiggins is in there but we'd still be extremely small, jmg should really only run next to Draymond to cover his defense.
Run dray n looney then kuminga looney 2nd quarter go Draymond and jmg and finish out with kuminga jmg, this ensures we have a backline of defense at all times to cover for the poor perimeter defense.
If kerr wants to throw moody in rotation all of a sudden then have him take Poole's minutes next to curry, Poole only played 23 minutes last game and the hawks still attacked him every possession he was on the floor
It's funny - for most of the season, I've thought they would win 42-44 games. Sometimes they fool me into thinking a run is coming and they will exceed it. Sometimes they look so bad I see no way they'll get there. Looking at the last 11 games, I still see 6 or 7 wins, so...42 or 43 wins. Crossing my fingers that will be enough for the #6 seed.
Oh man... the last game of the season WILL have implications on our seeding. And it's on the road. Against a Blazers team that will be fully eliminated. And will probably be sitting Dame and others. And I'm gonna be depressed if/when we lose it.
Those last 7 seconds may very well keep Lakers out of the play-in games. They lost the season series with Dallas 3-1 so if they ended up tied with Dallas for 10th, they'd be out.
Davis fouls Kleber who was shooting a three -> Kleber makes 3 FTs and Mavs are down 1-> Davis is fouled -> Davis hits 1/2 FTs and Mavs are down 2 -> Kleber hits the game-winning three and the Mavs win by 1.

Well, flup. I didn't realize we were playing the Grizz on a back-to-back today.
Here's hoping Draymond doesn't pick up both techs 17 and 18 tonight and miss the next game, too.
Time to get out my "Brooks is a schnook" T-shirt.

Quo vadis?
These are the 3 worst regular season records from a defending champion in the past 30 years
-'06-'07 Miami (44-38): 4th seed and bounced in the 1st round (Prime DWade and injured/washed up supporting cast)
-'11-'12 Dallas (36-30) - 7th seed and bounced in the 1st round (Very old team with lots of injures)
-'14-'15 Miami (37-45) - 10th seed and missed playoffs (1st season Post-LeBron, Past Prime DWade and injured Bosh)
Gonna be interesting to see where we land with 11 games left
I wonder if the Clippers are still resting Kawhi and PG on a 2nd night of a B2B? They've got three more B2B remaining in their schedule:
3/18, 3/19- vs. Magic, @ Blazers
3/31, 4/1- @ Grizzlies, @ Pelicans
4/8, 4/9- vs. Blazers, @ Suns

Mavericks remaining schedule:
3/20- @ Grizzlies
3/22- vs. Warriors
3/24- vs. Hornets
3/26- @ Hornets
3/27- @ Pacers
3/29- @ 76ers
4/1- @ Heat
4/2- @ Hawks
4/5- vs. Kings
4/7- vs. Bulls
4/9- vs. Spurs

I won't lose any sleep over it though

Davis won the game for the Mavericks.
I rooted for the Lakers and lost Karma points for nothing. That will teach me.
Man, Lakers, you had one job
Mavericks beat the Lakers 111-110 with Kleber's buzzer beater 3. Mavs move to 36-35 while the Lakers fall to 34-37.
Kleber hits a 3 at the buzzer and the choke is complete.
Sigh. of course.
