Horrible Take. Hes one of the most efficient guys in the league every year.

I know it doesn't mean much but it's still hillarious to look at.

THJ the only player with negative +/- and Mavs up by 20 lol...

Looking at how good GAFFORD looks there makes me wonder how dominant big men in the 90s will eat those softies alive in today's league.

Talking about basketball has been better and harder lol

Yea Green & THJ should be kept to a minimum. Maxi has value as a PF when needed, but not over Lively or Gafford at the 5

I think Kyrie's issue is his fasting for Ramadan. I recall it happening before and that can't be easy playing without the proper sustenance

Anyone else starting to feel bad for Vucevic? What a defensive embarrassment

Gafford looks this good because they're doubling Luka on every PnR and are just leaving the C every time.

Yep that must be hard for Gafford to collect offensive rebounds against tall guy like DeRozan.

Just shows there's zero rationale why Gafford got so few minutes in those string of losses. Would have beaten Cle among others if Kidd didn't insist on Maxi at the 5
