Mavs .5 game out of playoffs, chose to tank to maybe keep a fringe top 10 pick

NBA players are starting to treat their fans like some hoes

Mark Cuban needs more help

Thread title is wrong. OKC has the tiebreaker so Dallas isn't 0.5 games out of the play-in. They would need to win their last two games AND have OKC lose in order to make the play-in, and Memphis has nothing to play for so it's pretty much guaranteed that OKC was gonna win their final game if they wanted to.

If Dallas was actually trying to miss the playoffs, they wouldn't have played Kyrie 43 minutes and Luka 38 minutes in a 123-119 win over the Kings in their previous game. But then the Thunder beat the Jazz the next night, and it looks like they saw the writing on the wall at that point.

Dallas was shot, they didn't really have a chance anymore.

Thank you for this post

How are they content with "Let Luka do it" when they're trying to keep a Top 10 draft pick?

No the hell it wasn't, memphis is known for beating teams while resting players. I wonder if you watch games sometimes, because that's like saying it was a guarantee the Mavs would beat the hornets couple weeks back and they lost 2x in a row to a bunch of role players. This is the NBA. You have 2 superstars. You try to make the playoffs, there isn't no "writing on the wall". This is just another attempt for you to defend this p*ssy ass league.

Garbage time game, Patrick Williams might go for a career high

They've had 80 games to make the playoffs. It's over. On to the draft.

It's over when you're mathematically eliminated. I can promise you not a single player or coach in the locker room gives a fukk about securing a draft pick. Cuban fukked this up badly.

Luka done for the season
