That’s your takeaway? Bench players playing with effort after the starters couldn’t be bothered?


My takeaway was , Mavs burned the clock, game was over , yet Pritchard had to pump his stats . LOW

As a Laker fan, I can't ever pic Bos ... I mean much respect to those Bos fans who still pic Lakers In games, but I just can't ... Same with Denver can't pic Denver either lol.

I'm pro-Paolo overall, but man does he ever need to learn to not take the worst shots. He just never hesitates to barf up a heavily contested pull up or turnaround. The shot selection is not good.

how the **** is this dude playing.


What are they going to do, sign Ben Simmons off the buyout heap? Dallas isn't seriously even trying to win as a team anymore, they wouldn't be a defense first team 3 centers deep asking AD to guard the 4, PJ to guard the 3, Klay to guard the 2, and Kyrie to guard the 1 and no pure point guard if they were. Still they circled the Boston game because these players still have pride and made Boston fans eat poo for a night.

Im honestly not down on this Dallas team. Gonna be a fun team regardless but having just a legit PG out there running any type of offense is better than 5 dimwiddie iso's in a row now.

Maybe in the off season if there aren't anyone out there now. Doesn't even have to be anyone all that great.

Seriously if Simmons is on a buyout do that ****. It's better than having Dimwiddie handle the ball.

Mpj has been on one recently. If he can be a legit 2nd/3rd option the Nuggets fortunes are much better. He still doesn't do much other than score but he plays his role well.

If GSW stars teamed up with LAL stars, would they be favored to win the chip?

LBJ
Luka
Steph
Jimmy
5th starter

Is that enough? Or too much overlap?

I believe during their championship run he did play some decent defense.
