    No concussion, no sprain probably just a bad bruise, sit out game 4 and get ready for game 5 if necessary(there won’t be a game 5)

  2. TopStar200

    Pull the Luka questionable with D Live so he goes for 20/20. I see you Mavs.

    In all seriousness I’m glad he’s ok

  3. Professional-Diet807

    We’ll get some juicy Dwight Powell minutes in game 4

  4. Ok Ok…let’s win tomorrow and give the kid 9 days to rest up before the finals

    Absolutely vital for the Mavs if we want a chance of beating Boston. Unless he is miraculously 100% by tomorrow, give him a rest. Mavs seemed to work something out defensively by the end of last nights games… don’t get me wrong, they won’t be as stout defensively without DL2. But they’re not just going to will over without him. And hey, Kai doesn’t lose close out games

    He’s becoming one of my favorite Mavs, so glad to hear he’s okay

    Game 4 will be the hardest game of the series so far. Wolves doing everything to prevent a sweep and the Mavs without Lively lack the rim protection and short roll play.

    ANT, Naz and KAT seemed to get whatever they wanted at the rim once Lively was out. Wouldn’t be surprised if Game 4 is shoot out with the highest score in the series.

    Have to try everything we can to close it out and ensure we get the full 9 days rest and don’t have to fly back to Minnesota.

    Oh thank fuck and maxi should be getting close to returning too

  9. This would be a truly wonderful time to get Maxi back

  10. Hopefully he is able to go tomorrow even if it’s on limited minutes. He’s playing so well. If not Powell will need to step up and extended minutes for Gafford. Hopefully he can avoid foul trouble.

    Need to put the wolves away tomorrow so we get the full 9 days to rest and recover for the finals

  11. I feel like the Mavs are lying about this injury, that man looked concussed.

  12. J_Dabson002

    I feel like “OK” means it’s not ideal but not awful

    Neck injuries usually get worse before they get better too. Let’s hope we can get him a lot of time to rest.

  13. AbandonedOrange

    Does this mean he can play for game 4? There’s no way we can win game 4 without him

  14. Axisofcoolio

    Dodged a massive bullet. He will be fine for whatever games we play next (I’m not going to say the F word yet, no jinxes)

  15. Mindfulmanners

    I really hope the tests are accurate. The hit, the reaction, and his groggy walk don’t give me the most confidence.

  16. PHEW!!!!. Now I can enjoy my day off. Happy Memorial Day guys!!

  17. SketchyFlatulence

    Maybe we can go into game 4 using gaff/dwight and if we NEED lively and if he’s available… use him. Might not even need him for game 4 but something tells me different.

  18. Andrew0409

    Dwight Powell is about to have his bear game. I’m feeling it.

  19. I just have a bad feeling that he’ll be put in concussion protocol (required to be out a week). I hope i’m wrong af

  20. Is there any delayed pain? Like when you’re in an auto wreck? Rest rookie game 4 either way
    Would be the best move being up 3-0. Imo
