Mavericks (21-41) at Celtics (41-21) Game #63 3/6/26

[BringToughnessBack]

Been awhile, hope everyone having good 2026.

This quarter looking very champion worthy! JT being added to this team seems criminal.

It?s a little confusing that Baylor has a fractured thumb and can play while vuc has a fractured ring finger, and will miss a month? Though I guess we don?t know how bad the fractures are. Maybe vuc?s injury Is on his shooting hand

Vucevic will miss a month, should be back for playoffs

Boston's Nikola Vucevic is expected to undergo a procedure on Saturday for his fractured ring finger and miss approximately one month, sources tell ESPN.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN?T HAVE NICE THINGS

Honestly, is Garza that much of a downgrade at this point as a backup big?

at least he'll be back for the playoffs.  We do have Garza who did well before we got Vuc.  We also have what appears to be a healed Tatum shaking off the rust. 

He'll be missed but I think they'll find a way to manage

Personally I think Baylor should just undergo a procedure too and then both of them (Vuc + Baylor) can return in April in time for the playoffs

[Phantom255x]

Also dang, I thought Tatum would be limited to 10-15 minutes tonight. He's on pace for 25-30 easily

Hugo's going to be very special for us in his career.

Klay Thompson is a rotting corpse all season until he plays the Celtics.

[Goldstar88]

Tatum looks like Tatum.

Hugo's going to be very special for us in his career.

He just plays the right way. What a steal by Brad.

[Phantom255x]

Hugo's going to be very special for us in his career.

He feels like the kind of guy that can do some damage in the postseason, even if it's not anything flashy in the box score. The hustle plays, defense, and if he can knock down the open 3s that makes the C's even more lethal

Sucks for Vuc to be out a month but maybe it will allow him to settle in

I think both are on their respective shooting hands.

Boy, this is a really solid two-way 10 man rotation:

PG: White, PP
SG: JB, Baylor
SF: Hauser, Hugo
PF: Tatum, Garza
C: Queta, Vucevic

And that?s with Walsh and Harper able to fill jn

[Neurotic Guy]

DW seems to be himself again. Pritchard?s had a rough stretch. Teams been able to limit his paint scoring. He?ll adjust.
