Combined 95 pts from Klay, Luka, Kyrie and OMax continues playing great as Maxi sub.

Cool to see Klay have such a big game again GSW. Beyond just hit shooting, his floor game was really good. Didn't force shots and made the right plays.

I agree...at least it's good that they're making them otherwise this would be one ugly game...I mean the D is pretty horendous

Btw this game is a perfect example why Gafford isn't untouchable... he's good when he catches it under the basket,Just don't let him dribble...and on D he's Just too slow to Play against small lineups and he's really not that good of a rebounder

No one said Gafford is untouchable. He can be gone if we are getting someone like Giannis. lol

Pretty simple math to figure out.

PJ plays, we win.

Without PJ, Luka is destroyed by Dort.

With PJ, Luka looks like a mvp.

Luka is DPOY confirmed. Watch out NBA.

I'm totally agree with Germanfan, those games are trash. No defense and too much 3s.
Everybody who sit up from GSW made a lot of 3s. OMG. Who is that Waters??? :lol:

Even old ass Green.

Luka-Kyrie-Klay were a juggernaut.
Almost unstoppable.
They can't guard Luka and Klay punished every double team on him.

I'm scared too see that a hot Dinwiddie plays same minutes than an ice cold one.

Klay Thompson’s last 4 games:

19.8 pts (52.8 FG% 51.4 3PT%)
4.0 reb, 1.5 ast, 0.8 stl, 0.3 blk

Probably he is better than THJ, but i'm not sure.

Jokes aside he is somehow 2nd in the league in steals and plays some pretty damn good defense when he is fit and focused - like in that sequence.

You´re actually not wrong there - having PJs hustle and a few clutch shots and being a dog on D really enables everyone else to roam and do other things like Luka playing passing lanes etc.

Since TOR started to falter I wanted OG on the Mavs badly, perfect forward next to Luka, PJ has been everything I wanted from OG TBH, long 6'7" who can attack mismatches, defend multiple positions and rebound, in addition vocal support, heart and fan favourite, a jackpot get...

Where is the guy who said PJ can't be our Aaron Gordon?

It's a strange forum... A lot of great basketball experts disappeared when the reality checked them.

Let's go Mavs.
**** off fake fans.

Yea, it was a very important win, but it's hard to know what to make of it. They won't be this potent most nights, and hopefully, they won't be that bad defensively either. Gaff has been a bit off with TO as well

But glad they got the Win, many guys contributed and Klay had his revenge game

Feels always great to beat GS, one of the most frustrating and stressful team to play against.

Luka played like an MVP, triple-double on 84% TS is insane.

Klay was amazing, last 3 games he seemed to have gained more confidence.

Our starting 5 outscored the Warriors by 20 pts in 21.3 minutes played together.

Mavs starting lineup has +22.5 Netrtg. Funny enough that half of conversation in Mavs board is how Klay shouldn't start or how should we trade him. + 22.5 netrtg is not enough? :lol:

People should understand that you can't trust Grimes and Naji making 3s, when game will be on the line in playoffs. Celtics series would have looked much different with Klay. I doubt very much it would have looked much different with Grimes and Naji.

Gafford's numbers are pretty awful this year, Mavs should think 2x before paying him big money. Him+FRP should bring something a lot better.

I recently did the calculation in the other thread. If PJ plays, Mavs have almost 80% chance of winning based on their record with him.

The reason is pretty simple, there's no one who can play instead of him on Pf with even passable return. We need backup Pf desperately as soon as possible. Naji unfortunately can't play on 4.

Yea PJ is probably my second fave player now. Sometimes #1 when Luka complains to the refs or barks at the other team instead of playing D

I'd say my list of top 5 fave NBA players at the moment are

1. Luka
2. PJ Washington
3. Lively
4. Kyrie
5. Naji
