The Dallas Mavericks (35-28) are on the road for Saturday night's game against the Detroit Pistons (10-52). The game will be broadcast on Bally Sports Southwest and will start at 6:00 PM CST, a rather unusual time for Mavericks fans. This game is a bit of a must-win for the Mavericks, and losing to one of the worst teams in the NBA would be a huge setback, but they still hope to stay out of the race. Dallas has a day off after a convincing win against a very good Miami Heat team and will hope to continue their strong performance against Detroit. Let's look at the important things.

Honestly, it's amazing that I'm even starting a thread for this game. It's easy to forget in the second half of the season, so I forgot what I was supposed to do, and I also forgot that it was an early game. I'm currently dictating this to my phone, like a very old person who uses talk-to-text. I wanted to read this before the game started as I was holding the baby in my other hand.
The Mavericks need to win this game. That's all I want to say. After the game, join Josh in posting summaries and stats. Thank you for joining us here. We always appreciate it when people comment on the Mavs in game threads.
