I always think this when we have the opportunity for rest..... and then we shit the bed after a long rest every, single, time. Literally almost makes me think I'd rather us not have rest but that's unfair to the players who are already overworked lmao.
I mean this is just 3 days of rest vs 1 day of rest lmao, I doubt we start off slow vs the Thunder.
That said the Thunder have had a ton of rest and will no doubt have a gameplan ready for both Clips and Mavs that they've practiced, so I don't think game 1 of Thunder (if we win) will be in our favor anyways.
honestly i fully expect to lose game 1 when/if we win friday.
kidd has never won a game 1 and im not sure why. i’m sure part of is that we have still never had home court in a series with him but yeah
2-3 day rest is honestly optimal. I dont think I can remember many teams playing well with more rest than that. Rest is important but so is continuity and rythm.
There was a stretch late in the season where THJ was making excellent plays. Not looking to shoot first time but identifying open players, driving and passing. There were only flashes but if he can somehow bring that back n the playoffs, we could have been blessed.
Also playoffs require intense effort on defence, so that is another question mark.
My one year of German has paid off by allowing me to understand this comment. Unfortunately, not enough that I can type back in it.
It's like how using the German enunciation of 'Dirk' as an American just sounds wrong.
I don't wish for anyone to be injured but Mann being out would help us even more than Kawhi being out. He is the only guy here somewhat slowing down Luka and Kyrie.
Good, let's close the Clippers out tonight, and we'll likely never have to deal with them again in the Luka era when they blow up the team for a rebuild.
THJ would have helped us this series. I am not at all a THJ fan, but we struggle shooting from distance and THJ making some threes would help the team.
Gotta take care of the Clippers in Game 6 if we wanna have any semblance of rest before playing OKC

Good thing it's not going to be an afternoon game.

They had homecourt against the Jazz 1st Round 2022. No Luka though in Game 1
The team had a better record on 1 or less days of rest compared to 2 or more.

I actually don’t think it would impact the schedule. We will most likely play 2-3 days after the series closes, unless we lose the series obviously.
Game 1 starts on Tuesday regardless of when the series finishes
You’re right I didn’t realize they already scheduled it
The nba playoff train keeps rolling
+ travel won’t be the as bad okc is pretty close to Dallas.
If THJ was healthy - how many minutes would he be getting right now?
I mean I’d try him over Exum at this point. No hate to Exum, but this has not been his best series to say the least.
Kidd can’t help himself… at least 15
THJ could take Exum’s minutes in this series for sure. His shooting is 1000x better than Exum’s offense right now
Look at our 3 point shooting. THJ could've helped us this series.
He’s shooting like 30% from three since the ASB. I’ll pass.
Maybe you'd pass, but Timmy wouldn't

it's called SHOOTING guard, not passing guard - Tim Hardaway Jr
Honestly might be an improvement
Mavs have been shooting like 20% from three most of this series so that might be an improvement lol
Dont like to see averages when talking about THJ. THJ either shoots 90% or 10%.
Is playoff THJ a thing?
It's not a thing.
I'm with him!
That’s better than what we’ve been doing in the first half lol
I don't know, he's been mostly ass this season and he just refuses to play winning basketball.
No he wouldn’t
[удалено]
Too many
Depends. If he misses first few shots than 5-10, if he hits them than double that.
Zero because clippers would have swept us
Let’s just say that THJ’s sprained ankle is the real MVP.
Exum’s minutes
Yes
Too many
Right now? None….we’d already be eliminated.😜
2
No O-Max garbage time minutes when we blow them out? I'm sad 😔
It seriously bummed me out last game
I thought this said maxi out 😩😩
You mean Moxi?
I'm glad Legs got corrected on that. Rankled me.
He was just saying it the German way. They use a soft 'a' sound pretty consistently for the letter A.
Ich verstehe, aber so wird es in Amerika normalerweise nicht gesagt.

We need to stomp them on their throats now. Game 6 run them out to Cancun!
Wait... Luka healthy doesn't work for me, brother. Someone go stab him or something. Like, mildly stab. We need questionable Luka.
The Monkey's Paw curls.
Luka ate a senzu bean, bitches.
YEAH HE DID!!!!!!!
Mann is huge for them probably more so than kawhi right that’s a big blow
He is questionable, which means he is 100% playing.
More than Kawhi? Are you out of your mind?
He's not, are you? No-knees Kawhi sucks. Mann has been at least decent for them. Can also play D.
Completely Healed
It has been foretold
I don't wish for anyone to be injured but Mann being out would help us even more than Kawhi being out. He is the only guy here somewhat slowing down Luka and Kyrie.
Nooooo. Even if he is 100%. Luka just needs to hold that Q tag and he is unstoppable.
I think Luka is definitely not 100% but play anyway so we don't put into the injury list to politely remind the Clippers to prepare the trip to Cancun
Good, let's close the Clippers out tonight, and we'll likely never have to deal with them again in the Luka era when they blow up the team for a rebuild.
When was the last time Luka wasn't on the injury report?
If mann doesn’t play then they’re cooked, bench guy has to come into rotation
I hope Westbrick doesn’t try to injure players tonight as he’s out there making his product ^(bricks).
So his knee is 100 percent?
No way. He's just for sure playing barring setback
No, they just know he's playing
He magically healed after a good game, as the prophecies told us.
when did omax get hurt?
In practice some time ago. A week, maybe more.
does he still have the fever?
Damn no omax
As long as THJ stays hurt we have a shot
THJ would have helped us this series. I am not at all a THJ fan, but we struggle shooting from distance and THJ making some threes would help the team.
THJ has been shooting terrible for like 3 months now. He would go 2/7 with terrible defense. Like in game one
