    Ouch. That’s a lot worse than it seemed at the time – heal quickly and well, Lively!

    Its fine if he misses the rest of the regular season but I really hope he can be close to 100% by the playoffs.

  3. Man this is really bad. I hope this isn’t a precursor for his career, he’s had a very injured rookie year

    We need a veteran 3rd big for this reason. He don’t even have to be good just be 7 feet

    It’s time for Kidd to actually start thinking outside the box. Po*ell as the back up is hilariously predictable and comically wrong

    We’re going to be ok. One to two weeks recovery and we get him back for round one. We are going to have to find a groove with a small ball lineup though in the meantime cause Powell ain’t it.

  7. Powell is unfortunately not an NBA player anymore. We’re finished. Kidd is trying to win with bad players to give them confidence. Powell from now on will drop 0pts/2rebs and people will start posting Powell appreciation posts to protect him from getting violated.

    Dereck Lively is made of glass. How does a player get injured 7 times in only 55 games? He has never been able to play more than 9 games without getting hurt. It’s not like the Mavs were riding him hard. He averages only 23.5 minutes per game.

    The Dereck Lively Timeline:

    * Rookie season starts. Injured in his 7th game.
    * Returns to play. Injured in his 7th game back.
    * Returns to play. Injured in his 9th game back.
    * Returns to play. Injured in his 6th game back.
    * Returns to play. Injured in his 7th game back.
    * Returns to play. Injured in his 9th game back.
    * Returns to play. Injured in his 10th game back.

    went from day to day, to a little bit worse, to not coming back before the regular season. tomorrow Kidd is gonna let us know he got his fucking leg amputated

    Bruh, its just been getting worse. He was walking ok the day he got injured, last game he was ruled out as just having soreness. This sounds like we’re downplaying this more than it is.

    I looked it up and this is now the 7th time he’s had to miss a game after playing a game. Some of those were only a 1 game absence, but quite a few with multi-game absences. We could benefit from an older vet on a minimum that will stop Kidd from depending on Powell or Kleber.

  12. I’m adamant we’d have won 55 games if not for injuries this year. Thank goodness we have gafford, but such a bummer
