10-1 in their last 11.

They're coming on big.


And the one loss was a close one at OKC without Luka.

That turnover was like 60/40 on Fox/Barnes
Don't put the loss on him when there are 2 star players who are more culpable.

He shanked the key end of game three and then turned it over, casually.

Wasn't that serious, man...


If you ever want to feel some deep, deep self loathing, hit a Golden Corral

Why go out somewhere when I can do that at home?

Unless you hit the receiver right in the hands in stride and he drops it, it is always the passers fault. This is basic basketball knowledge.

I really find it so hard to believe how blazers won 19 games this year.

As a Bulls fan, this blows. We're never gonna see that pick. Blazers are the new Wolves/Kings. A decade of high lottery picks with no success to show for it.
Fantasy Hoops/Football/Baseball fans..

For info on a forum that actually talks Fantasy sports and not spammed with soliciting leagues, PM me. The more the merrier !

Mavericks 1-2 against OKC this season, although Mavericks are playing well so I'd much rather play Sacramento or Phoenix. Lakers are the team I want OKC to avoid. They're the only team that won their season series with OKC this season.


OKC hopes to avoid LeBron & AD the Lakers in the first round, that's it. They have a more than decent chance to advance if it's any of the Warriors, Kings or Suns.

I know they are 3-1 over the Nuggets during the regular season series, but oddly the Nuggets were not at their full strength during their 3 wins. Aaron Gordon missed 1, KCP missed 1 and Jokić missed the last one and they barely won. And Jokić and Murray always have another gear in the playoffs. If they can avoid the Nuggets in the 2nd round, I like their chance against anyone maybe except the Wolves. The Clippers look like a fraud and the Pels are as unproven as they are and may not have Ingram at 100%.

Mavs have 2 single digit losses vs okc, one without luka and 1 without kyrie. The 1 time both played they blew okc out by 35 points. Much rather face them then kings suns or clippers. 2nd most i want twolves, they would just call goberts guy to screen for luka/kyrie every posession and it would be the usual that gobert get benched in the po.

Will be an intresting game on sunday vs houston tho

I am rewatching the Mavs-Kings game.
Somethings that stick out early are :
1. Barnes balling out in the 1st half
2. AND THJ being a bum throwing up bricks. Kidd need to trust Hardy more.

Kings may have issues heading into the playoffs. Injuries.
Huerter (Shoulder) out for the season. Monk , been hearing has a sprained MCL (missed most of tonite's game).

Sorry about that, Kings fans.

Speedy recovery!

Dont know who Mark Jones is and neither what Golden Corral are. Must be some inside joke in sacramento, suppose that "humour" keeps kings from signing any FA.

You never heard of Golden Corral??

How long have you lived in Dallas, DFW Metroplex area, or Texas?

Also, Mark Jones does a lot of Kings games and also national NBA games at times on ABC & ESPN .

They're all over Texas and across the country. You have to have seen one before.

I'll be rooting for you guys in that one.

Luka's leg is going to fall off if they don't give him a game off soon and they play Houston next. A loss wouldn't be the end of the world for Dallas there after those 2 wins against the Kings and it would screw over Golden State

Wish a speedy recovery to Monk. Luka fell on his leg, with all the Luka fat jokes I'm seeing in this thread Monk was lucky to be able to walk to the locker room
