On Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Nash, KD, Steph and Malcolm Brogdon did it at least once.
Only Bird, Nash and KD did it multiple times.

Amazing feat if Kyrie can pull it off and do it again. Everyone always talks about how amazing he is as a ball handler but they very rarely talk about how amazing he is as a shooter. He's one of the best shooters of all time. The percentages don't lie.

I just like these close crazy games because these are buidling confidence and team chemistry
On the other side Clippers themselves had a couple of crazy comebacks and close wins. Now they have Russell Westbrook back.
It is getting interesting. I am not scared but I have a lot of respect.

But really no team in the world wants to play the mavs right now and the media is giving them a lot of credit and praise lately.


With Lively we can upset them.... Without Lively and Kawhi we still can upset them :lol:

Luka needs revenge. Badly.

PJ was so impressive today too. Shot wasn’t falling early but still had a huge impact on the game. What a huge upgrade over Grant Williams.



They have the 2nd best record since the trade, behind only the Celtics. Keep in mind, Mavs also had that losing streak when Kidd was doing his experiments with lineups. This is a totally different team now. The only thing that staid the same are injuries, still too many :banghead:

What an incredible game. Love for them to get an OT win late in the year.

Last night was amazing!
This team is evolving and their mental strength and focus appears to be strong. Answers regarding the paring of Kyrie and Luka are being given that they can be successful. Just wait until the frontcourt evolves and we become champions.

Last nights Exum shot was the most natural shot i seen him take all year . Even though he's shooting over 50 percent from 3 ,they looked measured ....last night he let it fly in rythem BUT quickly . Playoffs better be on notice ,Dallas has 3 guards that can hurt you.

Good thing that we signed Exum to a two year deal. At $3 million per year, he is a steal. Derrick Jones Jr. will probably be gone after this season since we only signed him for 1 season.

If DJJ keep up what he has been showing right now, he will get some teams offering him the MLE money, in which IMO DAL should match and keep him.

Yep...and if PJ continues to be a solid 3rd option on offense, DJJ will have a good shot at being our primary 5th starter next year.
Not sure there will be a better option in FA or via trade.

I like the way this team is currently constructed for the short term and long term.

Khalil had a good suggestion of seeing if a team was willing to absorb THJ into space and use that money to split between DJJ and Naji Marshall. WOuld love that plan, whether it was THJ or Green, wherever we dont have to give up assets to unload.

I'm very sceptical that teams will be prepared to overpay him. He's valuable in Mavs system, his value is a lot lower without Luka and many contenders can't offer him much anyway. He's not really interesting for others.
