Mavs are play-in team if AD stays healthy and doesn't get traded. Looking very competitive as of late. .Actually rooting for them to make it so their last FRP draft pick before 2031 isn't high enough and prevent them from pairing blue chip guy with Flagg..

Farking Cavs shoot 58% and drill some treys vs Spurs.
One night later and its 35% including 25% on treys vs vs the Golden Asshats w/o Curry.
3-28 outside of Donovan Mitchell.

 

[LeBowen]

Wagner just suffered what looked like a serious knee injury.
Magic just can't catch a break.

Murray scored 23 in the 1st quarter against Charlotte..insane quarter

He has the easiest job in the sport. He’s great and he’s not Jokic, so he’s not ever the focus of the defense. Not to diminish, but being an elite #2 to arguably the best offensive player of his generation not named Steph is a cushy gig!

It's a great gig.... Hopefully one of our guys take advantage of the same opportunity

Jokic > Curry tbh.

Jokic > Curry tbh.

That’s probably a fair take. I’m not an authority on either. Jokic definitely stacks up individually.

Seems like Miami new offense has been figured out. They've come down to earth lately (4 straight Ls)

 

[STAT88]

Good to see Franz injury wasn’t too serious. High ankle sprain looks like a 4-weeker.

I rekon Miami and New York are fighting over Giannis behind the scenes sending proposals to the Bucks.

Lively out for the rest of the year foot surgery

Mavs' Lively to have season-ending foot surgery

Mavericks center Dereck Lively II will undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot to address lingering discomfort, the team announced Wednesday.

[JMarkJohns]

Awful for him. Big men and feet surgeries never end ideally.

 

[Neuromancer]

Mavs should really pull their heads out of their asses and trade Davis/Irving and just tank already. Doing the two timelines thing never works

OKC just absolutely throttling PHX in the other cup match.

Hard to see these guys losing 9 games this year, barring injury

Everyone is playing for second. Outside of an injury they are going to cruise to a back-to-back

 

[Valparaiso]

It's so crazy that Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber might still turn out to be pretty good players. Cason Wallace is already rock solid. OKC is casting the Suns aside like they're a G League team.

Where is that dumbass that tried to tell us OKC was overrated

 

[JMarkJohns]

I love Grayson going full Duke now that he’s on my team.

Also, that was not a Flagrant 2.

 

[Fabbs]

Ya Chet flopped just as much as Grayson Allen knocked. The 2 arm extension shove it what sunk him imo.

If the warriors are able to acquire TMIII via Kuminga, I’m going to be pissed. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/68...arriors-mavericks/?source=user_shared_article

127 MN
120 Insufferable State

For those of you who are up late or out West, a most satisfying finish. After the TPups choked off a 12 point lead with 5 min to go.
Trailed by one after a Stefina trey.

Incredibly after an 8 second backcourt violation on MN, a review was done and Curry clearly held Divenco's wrist for obvious foul. But this is the Warriors we're talking about so it was semi stunning to me the refs went to replay and called it correctly. Huge momentum play.. But credit Curry and GS, they came back after that and actually lead by 1 a couple times. Vicenco had a huge trey and Rudy Gobert had a couple impressive dunks. Really, they were as he was contested and fouled both times but powered them in.

 

[STAT88]

Watched with great pleasure.

The Warriors are absolute garbage outside of Steph. Jimmy Free Throw Buckets included.

They really miss Draymonds defense and his moving screens on offense.

That would seriously suck... I definitely don't want him in GS. The Keon Ellis thing was interesting too. I had no idea his minutes had been cut because I don't watch them hardly ever. I think that's an under the radar move to watch too.

Apparently 30 seconds prior Chet pushed Allen to the ground on a box out, Allen got up, and Chet fell to the ground and leg kicked him high on the torso and knocked him down again. So, it adds a lot of context to the “get the fuck off me, bitch” shove Allen gave meeting Chet’s force, which, BTW, should have been an illegal screen and offensive foul as Allen had legal defending position as Chet’s screen ran into him.

Allen didn’t bitch out to draw the foul.
