Game #30: Toronto Raptors 103 - Dallas Mavericks 99

[tonious35]

We've had one of the easiest schedules in the league.

But yes, the injuries have definitely hurt us.

You tell a guy in November 28th if we had these injuries and they look at the schedule, they would have had us over 0.500 with wins against NYK, Denver and Sacra, then total losses against Dallas, OKC, SAS, and 0-2 to Miami. You show that guy the results and his mind would been blown

Raps have played 16 teams with a winning record and have won 10. They've played 14 teams with a losing record and have won 8.

Definitely a team that plays up and down to their opponent.

Why does every team get so upset when we beat them. Carlise basically saying player will be traded after this effort lol. Love it!

Oh shit!

Rick Carlisle on "embarrassing" first half: "If it's gonna be like that, these guys won't be Mavericks very long. I can promise you that."

so carlisle didnt deploy the 5 man bench unit because he thought it would work. he did it because he was pissed at his starters.

damn, this guy is good

Skiles did the same thing when we played the Magic. They started out terribly in the second half and he benched all 5 of his starters for a while.

Play for 82 games. Lose 1 then go ape shit. Might create a run

Dallas to hold players only meeting tomorrow.

Huh, apparently not anymore. Roughly average schedule at this point. Still, not a tough one.

The schedule seems harder than its been because of that run of away games at the very start and then the injuries and Ross and Patterson playing like D League rejects for a month and a half made every week way more difficult than it needed to be.

I could be wrong but I think we've had a very top/bottom heavy schedule, with fewer games than most against the middle tier. On Sagarin's rankings, we have a middling difficulty, despite the fact only Philadelphia has played more top 10 teams than us.

looking at the box score looks like delon had a good game. no turnovers, a rebound and an assist with +5. good job
