but yeah Jerome is doing very well. Feels like everything we got from the WB/CP3 trade is turning into gold. If their pick isn't top 4 we will probably draft a star.

Bazley struggling but at least he's trying. Better attitude than some weeks ago.

I dont know what to think of him. He reminds me of Grant his first year here. Bazley doesn’t fall down as much but he’s pretty bad on his drives.

I think Presti has done about the best job at utilizing the G-league of any team in the league. Probably will have guys shuttling back and forth.

Looks like a team playing their 5th game in 7 nights. Haven't been beaten like this since Houston a month ago.

Cavs on a 3 game winning streak since we played them + Wizards have turned the corner hopefully.

Jerome looks like a nice spark plug off the bench.

I've been waiting on Jerome. Kid has got game. Looking forward to see how he bounces back. Love his defensive IQ, effort, shooting and playmaking. Kind of similar to Maledon, IMO but a bit more scoring focused.

Reminds me of Ryan Arcidiacono. Really good 3rd string PG.

Presti doesn't want the crowd motivating unwanted wins. Also I think we're the first team to make this call for the whole season?

Just got the email today :x :x :x :x

Hopefully next season we can be back in the arena. Boston Garden is now letting some fans in for Celtics/Bruins games.

Luka is questionnable for tonight's game. The NBA really doesn't want us to tank.

Still think he will play though...the Mavs badly need some wins.

We had the worst offense in the league by percentage points going into tonight, that gap just got quite a bit bigger. Were due for an unexpected L too.

Wouldn't complain if SGA underperform this month

Jerome & Maledon doing pretty well.

I would love for them to develop. I’m just having a hard time seeing Dort becoming reliable offensively. I wouldn’t mind moving him for a better piece.

I think Dort is close to his ceiling and could really help a contender. Given his incredible contract, we could really get a nice return for him.

I don't think Presti agrees though :( (and he's a fan favorite so it doesn't help)
