Mavs are shooting 36% from the field and yet the game is tied. Sorry Minnesota.

Can’t beat Dallas and refs - and even if they are fouls it doesn’t seem like the fouls being called fairly

He could always get it back. But I have been noticing that more stars are not sticking with Nike anymore indefinitely especially if they’re not the absolute biggest ones like Lebron, KD, Giannis, and now Wemby
No way he gets it back they already replaced him with Ja.
Also Kyrie is not some young guy, he's already in his prime. There isn't much upside left. Kyrie will look back at this and say "damn what was I thinking". No way he's getting Nike money with whoever he signed with now.

14 and 12 fouls each, and 15 and 14 free throws each. Zero rhythm to the game.

The Mavs a special team - remember they beat okc when SGA was out playing everyone by a mile and like was shooting 1-9 from 3 with 7 TOs and Dallas was winning.
The Mavs have that it factor

would love to see a vid where he breaks down what he eats in a day

all he needs is one or 2 weeks where he's not playing regularly and he can put on 15 pounds

This game has been called evenly Imo
Game 3 was bad tho. Ant was getting assaulted near the paint w/ barely any calls. Luka was getting calls for much less contact.

He was 20, coming off an 18-10-2 rookie season, ROY. A big who can rebound, shoot, offer decent rim protection, and has room to grow. If you're picking a player to "start a franchise with" you're going to go with someone young, and there was really no one else that fit the bill. Embiid hadn't played a game yet, Giannis was coming off a 17 and 8 season and no one was predicting an MVP future for him, AD had injury concerns. Everyone was high on KAT at the time.
