These should be OKC’s full time jerseys. They actually look like a NBA uniform unlike that bland ass regular jerseys the rock.

Plus it would just signify completely new era.

Interesting that they've already ran two plays where Kyrie runs point and Luka is standing in the corner.

Looks like the refs are swallowing their whistles so far. Gafford got all arm on that "block".

I wish teams stuck to their standard uniforms for the playoffs.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Even me and many other Luka/Mavs fans are getting tired of it. Just shut up and play.

SGA wasted opportunity, got the defender way up in the air but spun away instead of drawing the easy shooting foul

Jones is a stud and a sleeper. Huge upgrade over Finneysmith and Bullock

He's only on a 1 year deal, hope he doesn't leave. But he said he wants to be in Dallas but will talk to other teams. If they offer him like 10-12 million+ per year Dallas probably can't match it.

On that first one off the opening tip it looked like when Luka tried to get the ball to bring it up, PJ waved him off and banished him to the corner.
