Too huge a risk. Wtf were they doing?


Looks like an easy conf finals appearance on whoever wins against the knicks and sixers. Though the pacers can be a scrappy opponent that can get hot on offense.

If not for Spo, the other side of the bracket is much tougher than ours.

Spo won't be so scary once the Cs go back to Boston leading 3-1.

Luka is just fun to watch. Ability to take over games much like Jokic. I hope they beat the clips.

As a basketball fan in general, are you ok if Luka never wins a chip as long as he's fun to watch?

I don’t dislike you, I don’t dislike anyone here, well besides one. Some people can be obnoxious and don’t know much, but I’m not going to dislike someone because of that.

I mean guys like Pat Ewing, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, and others were fun to watch during the 90s, but they never won a chip.

So if you're a Mavs fan, is that okay?

I mean Luka entertaining you for a decade or so but never getting a ring?

Yes exactly. Spo is **** scary lol. I don’t know what he tells his players to elevate their games, but they looked human against the Nuggets last year, so its just probably us lol.

That's a tough one. Since the season is on the line you would expect your star player to try to fight through and do what he can. If he were to sit people with yell that he was soft and doesnt care..

Now you're finally getting.

Spo never won a championship without Lebron.

Both times Spo went to the finals without Lebron was in 2020 and 2023.

That's after beating the Celtics in the east finals.

So yeah, it's not Miami, it's Boston!

The Celtics are their own worst enemy.

If i were a mavs fan, i would be fine with it. You adjust your expectations depending on the team you have. Also you can’t fault all those guys not having a ring, when we all know they played against the GOAT Mj. That’s just bad luck.

Not just us. They've done it against the Bucks too. Teams with really smart, high IQ players + talent give them trouble. Lakers w/ Lebron and Rondo. Nuggets w/ Jokic.

Easier said than done.

There's a lot we don't know about his injury/injuries.

The guy has been injured a lot since 2019.

I just hope JT gets tired of the Heat trolling our team, and finally do something about it. The disrespect Butler’s giving them is just too annoying already. Its like he’s bullying them upfront, and literally telling them they can’t do anything about it. Butler won’t say anything like that against Lebron or Jokic. He’s clowing the Jays everytime we face them.
