Mavs have three players with broken noses?
A crazy intense practice?
A very wild party?
A typical Saturday night in Texas?

'The Mavs free agent possibilities have begun to look rather grim, as the players have begun the practice of 'beatin in' new additions to the roster'?...... o0

Very well played first half. Kept the rest of the Mavericks from getting hot giving Irving and Doncic theirs. Only 47% and 42% from 3.

Pacers shot 56% and 35% from 3. Turner getting involved early on. Everyone playing decent. Nice to be up 7 points at the half against a hot team.

Gonna get that win. Pacers played great defense tonight to complement their offense.

Wow,... that was a great game for the Pacers. First game since the deadline deal for Siakam (IMO) where the whole team looked like it was in sync. Pascal not looking to score so much, but man,.. he was chasing rebounds. Mathurin's defense looked much better, even when he was on Luka. I know Luka isn't the fastest initiator in the league, but Myles even looked good when switched out. Shep,.... just wow,... really happy with the ball movement.

Thought it was interesting, that when Dallas started to pick up Hali at near half court, the Pacers moved their picks & motion higher up on the court? Not seen them do it before, or maybe not realized they were doing it, but it caused more open splits, top of the 3 point line to the rim, made the Pacer speed advantage even more of a factor cause the Mavs then had to lengthen their defense way outside the top of the 3 point line? There were even a couple of plays where the offense starting picks took place across the half-court line (and not just picks to give room for the ball handler to advance the ball).

There was a play where the offense started so far up the court that I wasn't sure Myles was going to get to the rim on the roll. Nobody was there,... he just had to really stretch to get there after receiving the ball... LOL =} Do you think they are looking at adjustments for teams blitzing Ty?... potentially for the playoffs?
