In a must lose game the Mavs went for revenge instead of future. Winning may cost them 2 draft positions at a time they needed to tank and build around Flagg. Horrible win for the Mavs fans.

And LAL needed to win to try and fend off dropping from 3 to 4 seed. They are now tied with Denver but I think hold tiebreaker.

These last 4 games will be interesting.

LAL: OKC/GSW/Suns/Jazz

DEN: Port/Grizz/OKC/Spurs

Denver needs to win 1 more than Lakers to get 3 seed.

Lebron played well

30/9/15 with 4 turnovers

Ended up 12-22 from the field but had a very efficient game until later in the 4th

Flagg went 46/8/9 (was 16/18 FT’s).

I know Mavs staff wanted to showcase Flagg and put LA in their place but this was not the time. They will now have a coin flip with 2 teams to determine draft picks. When prior to tonight they were picking ahead of those 2 teams. Bad management.

Flagg played 38 minutes, they could have reduced that to 30 easily.

Would LA get Houston if/when they fall to the 4?

Yes. At 3 they would get TWolves.

Here’s the catch. Right now LA/Den are tied with 28 losses. But Rox only have 29 losses. Its possible LA could fall to 5 and go on road to Rox first round. Lots of possibilities left.

Still some potential jockeying to go.

Lakers will fall to the 5 seed.

They are finished for this year. This shows how little impact Lebron has on winning at 41. He should have been 6th man this year.

I am looking forward to the offseason.

Team will be built around Luka and AR. Need to find 3 and D wings and a rim protector.

There are 5 teams worse than them.

Then you have 3 teams tied and if that stays the same its a coin flip for 6/7/8. No way they get 1 again. But 6 vs 8 is huge too. They must get another quality player next to Flagg

Just like they had little chance to get Flagg right?

Coincidence like Cleveland those years when LeBron left

I agree last year was rigged. Flagg was the payback. It will be a different team this year
