If you were watching that game and you weren't excited when Dirk hit 30k you can't call yourself a basketball fan, period. I am not joking.
This right here. Dirk's final game next year is going to be so god damn emotional to watch.

Well I mean, their guys are actually playing so that always helps. If he can stay healthy though, Embiid is better than anybody the Lakers currently have.

I find it hard to be excited when he hits 30K against my Lakers, though. I like Dirk but I don't have much, if any, emotional attachment to him or when he hits any milestones.
If he is healthy throughout next season, and can still put up 15 points and 6 rebounds, who knows maybe we will get another year out of him. It is hard to think of the Mavs without him.
He's helping your tank. You guys should be desperate to keep that top 3 protected pick.

Just hope that the Suns win.
Why in the world do you want Lakers to win? Their future for for the best decade could depend on keeping this pick.
If lakers were my team I would pray to the basketball gods nightly for them to lose every game.
Every game counts with how close the Lakers and the Suns are.

Eh, I don't want to win honestly. Just wish we wouldn't play like shit in the process.

Fine. TANK!
Suns may win too, which is great for the tank. Maybe we'll get the first pick, as well. Fuck The Celtics.

Lakers just confirmed their GM is who they said it would be due to all this sibling rivalry.
Lol What process?

I've been wanting the Mavs to tank this season, but after seeing Dirk reach 30,000 points:
Isn't that just the Warriors old logo upside, and feeling a little blue?

Sorry, the Suns lost. Though they will be playing against your team (Lakers) on Thursday.
Great game. Our offense flowed pretty well, though that may have just been the Lakers effect. 7 of our players finished in double digits!
The congratulation video after Dirk hit 30k was emotional as hell. Seeing all the former Mavs players give him their praise hit right in the feels. It's difficult to imagine this team without him.
Sorry man. Usually during shirt day I'm able to grab a couple extras since there's always empty seats, but not this time around.

Yeahhhhhh boy. We're getting the 8th and sweeping the Losiers
I never post here, but Dirk 30k, what a huge accomplishment. It's going to be sad when he retires :,(

I dunno, they're 27-36 & they only have 19 regular games left this season.

Remember they started the season at something like 3-15. They have already climbed a long way. I would say It is likely they get the 8th seed, but who knows what could happen.

Hoping pelicans grab that 8th seed. If cousins can get out of depression
Dude has gotta start dominating along with Davis. Hoping they work out and make a legit run

It's too late for the Pelicans, they just have lost way too many to come back. It's going to be Dallas, Portland, or Dallas.

Dirk the 🐐
They can definitely make a run for the 8th spot.

Cavs can still release him? LeBron don't give a shit
Yes. Media on twitter is saying that's currently happening. May also waive DeAndre Liggnis.

Ryan Anderson is out with back tightness. Will miss 1-2 games.
I actually sorta like this. You don't have to split Gordon and Lou for the bench for the scoring load, the starting unit can go more small ball. If this lineup works, than Dekker can get more minutes at the SF back up spot.
Harden gets exposed by guards who go by him. He has a low-center of gravity, has a ton of strength, and honestly watching the past few games, he's better at guarding the PF sometimes. Especially compared to Ryno.
Also, Ryno was out for the 2nd half of the Rockets? He would've helped alot, he stretches the floor for the Rockets really well.

I miss Anderson.
He was key in making sure other bigs didn't dominate us. Would make them go all the way out to the perimeter, keep them far away from the rim

Refs give Harden some super lame foul calls.
And they're down 22 after the first...

Beating the Rockets at their own game.
Worried about a second half barrage.
