The official 2015-2016 Dallas Mavericks season watch thread

I just realized the Mavs and Jazz play eachother on April 11th. That game could potentially be huge. 538 has them both projected to win 40 games, and that would be the 3rd time and last time the teams meet, and thus potentially the tiebreaker for the playoffs.

Last time I supported Jazz was in the 1998 Finals. I think I still have a cap somewhere in the house.

[dang] it, LeBron is sitting out tonight against the Mavs.

Cleveland by 6 at the half.

This is a big game for the C's pick.  What looked like a pretty sure thing on the schedule is very much in doubt with LBJ on the sidelines.   Frustrating.   A Dallas loss and they are 1 game in the loss column ahead of 9th place Utah.   Can just about taste it.

I don't like watching the Cs lose but, other than that, tonight is a very good night for our draft picks. Minnesota killing Memphis, Cleveland killing Dallas. Hopefully, Detroit can hold on against Atlanta.

It looks like the Mavs just don't have it tonight. Hopefully the warriors take care of business and the trailblazers at least split the other 2 games.

That seems like a likely scenario. Which would put that Mavs at 2-9 in the past 11 games. With confidence nearing rock bottom, with only 10 games left on their schedule.

I think we might have a 2nd lottery pick on our hands.

Side note: The Jazz face the T-Wolves and Suns 2 times each in the next month.

Yeah and if they drop out of the playoffs, they're probably going to be behind the Pistons and maybe even the Wizards.   They could honestly get us the 13th pick and I don't think it will be any worse than 16th, with 13th overall being more likely.

And...it's a 2 point game.

Big 1-point loss for the Mavs (scary though).  Utah suddenly within striking distance.

And the Mavs lost to a LeBronless Cavs team.  Here is what the Wiz looked like vs a LeBronless Cavs team a couple weeks ago: http://www.nba.com/games/20160228/CLEWAS/gameinfo.html?ls=eref:google:1b:post

David Lee did have a decent game, but they're 4-7 since acquiring him and he's been garbage most of the time.

As far as I'm concerned, David Lee can score 100 points per game, as long as it end with an L in Dallas's column.

Scary moment: Watching the game on the computer on ESPN's live feed. They had the wrong score showing and, for a second, it looked like the 3-pointer at the end tied the game.

Pretty awesome.  Assuming the Mavs lose the next one to Golden State, we could be looking at the #12 projected pick. 

[LarBrd33]

Tomorrow Suns vs Jazz is basically a win/win.  We need the Jazz to win games and we need the Suns to win games.
