Re: 3/16 Sunday NBA Game Thread
These refs are trash today man. I understand they don't want the Magic getting pummeled by 40 points on national TV again but this is such a blatant one sided whistle.

76ers vs mavs was the game scheduled. They flexed this in.

Philly/Dallas was originally scheduled and flexed out.

Dallas might have to forfeit games to get Phoenix into 10th.
At this point, they may just do that. I think they still have their 1st round pick so may as well press your luck on the Cooper Flagg Sweepstakes.

Re: 3/16 Sunday NBA Game Thread
This is easily one of our worst performances of the season. So many wide open missed shots. So many missed free throws. Mitchell having a terrible game. No Mobley.
And still winning which is crazy.

Re: 3/16 Sunday NBA Game Thread
Mavericks situation is one of the most fascinating stories in the NBA in years. Never seen a team go from a contender to irrelevant so fast. I feel so bad for their fans.
They are literally losing to a group of G-Leaguers and 10 day contract guys.

Haven’t seen it since the 2011 mavs after they won the title and Cuban wanted to rebuild.

The other way every ticky tack touch foul being called.
Adam Silver wasn't going to allow another 40 point blowout on ABC.

These Cavs/Magic televised games are the NBA's/Nike's way of revenge for 2009.
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

the audio feed is in front of the video stream. The behind-the-scenes guys have it improperly mixed.

Anthony Black could be another Dyson Daniels if he became more aggressive. His defensive instincts are great.

I don’t mind physical defenses but it’s annoying when they don’t allow it both ways.
