Looking back at the game winning shot, both THJ and DFS raised their hands and jumped, while Richardson and Johnson had no real reaction. It probably means nothing, but it's weird that the two new guys didn't look that excited compared to the two guys who were there last year.

6 wins in 7 games. The one loss was only by three points and Luka nearly hit a shot at the end to tie it. This team lost a bunch of key players to COVID earlier this year. This sky isn't falling.

None of the teams we have beaten have been above .500 though. I love the wins however we can get them, but the Mavs do still need help especially on rebounds

This team is in a really weird spot where I feel like they’re objectively better when Porzingis isn’t playing. I have no idea how to fix that. It’s no wonder why they’re shopping him.

They seem better defensively. As much of a foul magnet WCS can be, at least he can move his feet.

Exactly the sky isn't falling

Portland just lost and now 2.5 GB of the 5 seed.

Annnnnd back at. 500

6 wins in last 7.

But of course Carlisle needed firing and the whole roster needed trading and Covid had no impact.

Twice I went to sleep in the half time, 1st game against Denver and this time, I need to work on my sleeping time selection, Doncic has no need to work on his long range shot :)

Don't forget giving away KP for a bag of potato chips as well.

Nice to see some degree of consistency lately even with some people out.

Luka up to about.38% from deep since the start of 2021.

Given the volume and difficulty, he's progressing into the truly elite tier of shooters in the league. He's becoming unstoppable.

Maybe that's becouse we played all those teams in the first 20 games?
We play the Strippers 2x at home, the Lakers 2x at home, the Jazz 1x at home, we played all the Suns games,...
And when you look at the bottom of the west? The Mavs still need to play: 2xagainst Minny,2x against the Rockts, 3x vs OKC and SAC,...
Yeah the Mavs realy had a though schedule.

Holy crap! You can't defend a player better than what Boston did on the go ahead 3.
