They have 4 players who could legit drop 30 on any given night.


When KP plays, they feel unbeatable on occasions. Just makes me laugh that Washington basically gave him away. Such a bad organization.


Lol don't you mean Dallas gave him away for a player no longer on the team.

Wiz got alot more in return.

Kyrie says their gameplan is experience. He seems to forget he's the only guy on his team with Finals experience.

Luka better be ready to average a 40pt triple double if he even wants a chance and that still probably requires Irving doing around 30ppg

Don't love the Mavericks wearing BLACK jerseys for the Finals. It's weird to add black to their uniforms to begin with.

See!!! Tatum settling for 3 instead of trying to beat Luka 1v1. He can EASILY dribble past Lukia.

No. Because Washington won 15 games. Dallas is in the Finals.
