Oh that’s right. We just need to lose one game and we’re locked into 9.

I get the feeling that Luka is the type that would totally go for 50 if they let him play. He would try to win to piss off the people telling him to call it a season.
The Mavs are in a bad spot. Even if they lose this one they might still win the last on accident. This will be especially catastrophic when the pick we own from the Woles lands top 4 and they lose the pick anyway.

I was thinking we were already locked into 9th and could maybe just play some of our guys these last two games and not worry about tanking...but it looks like we need one more loss.
Yeah, technically if went 2-0 and Dallas went 0-2 we’d be tied for 9th. Coin flip would decide position and we would split ping pong balls evenly. Not an ideal position. Rather have the 20.3% chance of moving up into the top-4 all to ourselves.
Heat are sitting all their main guys vs the Wizards tonight and Wizards play Houston for their last game.
A shot they go 2-0 here and we can coin flip them for position.

Pacers play Detroit tonight and New York for the last game of the season. Knicks are locked into their seeding at 5. They will probably rest their guys. Shot that Indiana also finishes 2-0 and we can coin flip.
Orlando plays Brooklyn tonight, who are probably motivated to win to secure the last non-play in playoff spot. SO probably not much of a shot there.

There is a shot one of those two you mentioned goes 2-0. That would be sweet.
'A step back'? Mavs choose to sit 5, miss playoffs
All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and four key Dallas Mavericks role players sat out Friday night's 115-112 home loss to the Chicago Bulls, while Luka Doncic played only 13 minutes.
Did someone post this?
This is wild. Basically the Mavs cant make Luka sit, but they can make everyone else sit. Wonder what happens this off-season. They are either going to try and swing another desperate trade or maybe get off Luka early and start a new era for cheapo Cuban?
They cant even make up injuries for Green/Wood, just "rest" during a must win to not be eliminated game. This has to be fineable.
*… at minimum…
Lakers need that win this weekend. Jazz need that loss. Things should work out.
We need to lose both to have any shot at tying someone at 8th.
