The Milwaukee Bucks will play a game of basketball against the Dallas Mavericks. At least it’s a reasonable start time! They won the other game this season oh so barely, 116-114, nearly giving our own Jack Trehearne a conniption.
Where We’re At
Bad coach, still here. Badly behaving star, now out. Bad rest of the team, playing less than the sum of their parts. Bad recent stretch of play. Nothing more to say.
The Mavericks—the Mavericks—have won four out of five after dropping a FIGABABA last night to the Lakers. The first
two were against the Jazz, but still. Our colleagues over at Mavs Moneyball recently captured Dallas’ paradox, describing the team as the “hardest playing” in the Association, while also asking questions like, “What is fandom when your team can’t compete?” All the while, they’re keeping tabs on the top of the draft. They might not be the only ones…
Injury Report
Giannis Antetokounmpo is out with a right calf strain because he and Doc needed to make the loss to Denver respectable. There seems to be something goin’ ‘round, because AJ Green is questionable and Gary Trent Jr. is probable due to illness. Kevin Porter Jr. is out with a right oblique muscle strain, and Taurean Prince remains out due to neck surgery.
The Mavs played last night against the Lakers, so we await their injury report with bated breath.
Player To Watch
I’m looking forward to watch Cooper Flagg.
