We have won eight straight over Dallas. Don't stop now.

Doncic played yesterday an amazing game against the Raptors. Ridiculous.

I hope Bridges can contain him, but I think he is gonna try to switch into McGee/Biyombo all the time to take advantage of them. Probably will be better to double him before switching defenders.

They don't know what they are doing. Toxic and dumb player to their locker room. Good luck with him.

Oh well, let everyone else deal with ex Suns players but after 10 days are up, he'll be gone from there for good. Better other teams deal with ex Suns players than us hehe.

The funny thing is that I have found that his new contract it's a guaranteed two-year deal. Ohhh yeah!

No way? That's pretty hilarious and sad at same time if indeed true. If Luka is already frustrated with Porzingis imagine his level of frustration when dealing with Criss?

Probably worth giving Stix some run as he's more mobile and more comfortable defending outside the paint than the other two.

Yeah, but too raw and he commits too many fouls. I don't like the idea of Doncic making pump fakes in front of him.

Dallas is definitely a better team this year, but I still think we're too much for them. Especially if Book is as hot as he has been of late.

He can hang with KP around the 3pt line though. Porzingis is not a threat in the post.

I'd almost be tempted to put Mikal on KP and let CamJo handle Luka. All we really need to do is force Luka into long range shots as he isn't the best at them. Shut down the rest of his teammates and turn them into watching Luka chuck all over the place since we all know that's what he is all about anyways.

Looking forward to this game as Dallas is the hottest team in the league currently and we're playing on the road without our best (2nd?) defender. We clear this and we can rattle off a nice win streak imo.

Hopefully this is a good game and not like our games vs Miami and Boston.
