Mavs cannot win chip if Luka continue to play so selfishly

Memphis traded him to Boston before the deadline.

Tatum is probably feeling it and in rhythm, but heat check shots almost never works

Dallas supporting class is an embarrassment lol.

I think Minnesota would kill the Celtics without Porzingis

I think they are quite good. Who would you prefer?

They have the deepest basketball knowledge of all color commentators. Much better than anything TNT can offer. Nobody beats prime Hubie Brown though.


They're a bad pairing, both want to be the same archetype of color commentator. And to top it off, Doris wants to mother all the players and Reddick is too friendly with the guys in the league so they're both hesitant to call any of the higher tier guys out. I'd prefer JVG/Doris myself.

Good defense by Mavs despite the bucket Holiday got.

As bad as about 2/3 of this Dallas roster is, I still think Boston is not that good and Luka and Kyrie going up a level is enough to beat them.

Holiday's multiple jumps on the offensive boards are impressive. He's got a little Worm in him.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna
