    And man that Mavs bench is next level stinky, that bench is about as deep as a puddle.
    He's their best centre. Wood is SOFT!

                        Don't the Mavs need to win tonight to have a shot at making the playoffs?

                          I don't understand. If anything, I would expect him to play as much as possible.

                            They lose their pick if they're not in the bottom 10. They would rather be bottom 10 than compete lol

                            Why play him at all?

                                They have to win tonight and Sunday, and need the Thunder to lose Sunday to make the playoffs.

                                Are they really going to give up on the season when they can still make it into the playoffs?

                                  I don’t see how they are still favored I don’t care if bulls are suiting up middle schoolers it’s obvious mavs don’t want to win but it’s the nba and the irrational often hapoens

                                    Ok, I see that Kidd said that Doncic will only play the 1st quarter.

                                    "And the guys that are playing are gonna go out and try to play to win. You gotta be pros. You can't cheat the game."
                                    All-Star guard Luka Doncic, who was listed as probable due to left thigh injury recovery, will only play the first quarter, Kidd said.
                                    On Tuesday, Doncic publicly rejected the idea of sitting out down the stretch as a tanking measure to protect the Mavs' lottery position.

                                      Perhaps, but it appears they care more about having a top 10 pick next season.

                                        So what happens if the Mavs accidentally make the post season?

                                            I think they'd be alright with that. They just don't want to lose their pick AND miss the playoffs lol. One of the other and they're happy.

                                              Can;t cheat the game he says... but he's not playing the rookie Hardy in crunch time. He's literally cheating the game.

                                                      They actually have another game to play yet Kidd hastily stating pre-game that Doncic would only play 1 more quarter on the season. So if they won and the Thunder lost? Don't matter, they weren't interested. You play 80 games for that. Talk about a black mark for the league.

                                                          I just don't understand this at all. Why in the Hell would you tank the end of your season like this when you have a chance to make it into the playoffs?

                                                                Thunder was going to win anyway on Sunday so moot point in trying to win with Kyrie. Throw in the towel and start early on back room politicking with Silver for #1 pick.
