They didn't have Tatum.

Nah. Would have been even worse. Boston would have humiliated Gobert. Our only hope was Denver.

I just hope Mavs manage to win one game before it's too late, just to have a culprit of how it does looks for them to do that.

Because I don't have a clue. The pairing is terrible for them.

Well he disagrees.

No he says he disagrees. Because he doesn’t want folks in his personal business. Which is understandable.

Porzingis Pooping the Mavs, while Tatum is Pooping himself... Somewhere Larry Bird laughs and cries...

Carlisle couldn't figure it out (he basically made him a spot-up shooter) and KP was injured a lot.


Yeah I remember now that you mentioned it. He was the corner shooter right?

KP was hurt and they could’t unleash him in the finals?

KP is also better now. I always hated that trade. Dinwiddie and Bertans plus you give up a 2nd? Talk about selling low.
