Happy Holidays everyone. Welcome on to another 15 and 16 having had a chance to do a bunch of research on the West in quite a while

It's just the way the weeks happen to work out for us with some of these mailbags and travel

But we got a ton of great stuff for you here in the West before we get started with the Mavs

We're going off medical order want to remind you don't time prime makes an awesome holiday gift

I hope you will consider that particularly if you're a little bit of a late

Gifter like I can be sometimes it has the advantage of becoming available immediately for your recipient

Let's get started though with Dallas Danny. Let's do it the Mavericks are

14 and 15 on the season and

6 and 11 since the last 15 60 affair porn should have that without Luca Donchich which we'll talk about

They are 20th in net rating negative 1.4 per hundred possessions for cleaning the glass

17th in offensive rating 20th in defensive rating remember they were much better earlier in the season and the

538 Raptor model still pretty optimistic on Dallas 40 wins would be fifth and gives them a 76% chance of making the postseason

Elo which is more built on how the team is playing especially right now

That is a 63% chance of making the playoffs and at the outset we can note

Dallas ended up losing that game to Minnesota

101 105 and

Christophe for Zingas left the game due to right foot soreness

He did play 23 minutes and was plus 10 before leaving the game. Yeah, that's actually getting the foul line more

These last couple of games it but has been able to hit a shop at yeah that again with porzinga

It's just whenever it he kind of gets going a little bit or even if he hasn't gotten going there's a sore knee

There's a sore foot. It's just there seem even when it's not an acute injury

It just seems like there's always something going wrong with him and I think he's been much better defensively
