Time for the Mavs coaches to put the magnets in their rim

"Harden's a guy that averages 26 in the NBA, but if he was on the playground with you he'd only average about 5 because they wouldn't let him get those free throws." --Scott Hastings, April 6, 2013

Weird game by Kyrie. Hopefully he steps up in the 2nd half.

I kinda adressed that. What kind of move do you think they should have made?


Should have just stood pat with their opening day roster

im sure they would have been better off this series with Batum and Morris :lol:

Why follow +/- it's a dumb statistic unless you're saying "they were -8 when [Player X] was off the court" when on the court it's just one of 5 guys.

Yes, take +/- with a lump of salt. Just looking at that for the stating 5, it feels like DAL should be losing.

The only argument for "breaking basketball" is that he took ref baiting to a completely different stratosphere. Fortunately that strategy has never worked in the playoffs.



imagine stanning heliocentric players like caitlin clark and luka but hating the actual pioneer of said style


The only thing he pioneered is that massive beard to cover that ugly mug of his.

Imagine not being a prick. Nah, you can’t, never mind.

Can’t take this Dallas team seriously as title contenders if they always fall to this long stretches where they play bad. Won’t work against the Thunder, Wolves or Nuggets.

Imagine they blow it up and have a lottery team in the new arena lol

A lottery team? With what draft picks? :lol: :lol:


lol I'm not familiar with their draft capital damn so they're depleted. Well if they trade Kawhi they'll get some back.

Clippers will finally get to control their own first round pick in 2030.

Any pick that could be traded was traded. And in the years they keep their first round pick...OKC gets to swap.

Clippers are ****.

That's silly...everyone knows they are already in the rims and just have to be turned on...duh

Maybe because he's the greatest 3 point shooter in NBA history, no one can emulate that.

That makeup is a hell of a filter.

Doris looked like a grandma the last time I saw her. Her makeup artist has her looking in her prime tonight.

Jokic in the Despicable Me 4 commercial is a better actor than any NBA players that I've seen in commercials.
