I'll never understand why the wolves won't just guard the rim and the corner 3 and give up the top of the key 3s that's how you beat the mavs

Mavs gonna win the championship this year

When Kidd , Nets legend was traded to the Mavs I was rooting for him and the Mavs and they did it

Then Bruce Brown and uncle Jeff I was rooting for Denver hard and they did it

Now Kyrie ex Net and I’m rooting for the Mavs …….go figure what’s happen next :lol: :lol: :lol:

Brooklyn Nets it’s like Chinese restaurant who gives away fortune cookies for other teams to go and win it all :lol:

Edit : who wants Ben Simmons next , it might happen for your team next , I promise :lol: :lol: :lol:

You couldn’t get a better fit for Lively. Such a great pick and roll guy. He needs to stay paired with Luka his whole career

Why blitz with your two best defenders? I’d rather blitz with two weaker defenders and keep Gobert to roam.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Really feels like the Mavs can get a good shot every time. Just a question of whether they miss it or not

Missing the playoffs could be the best thing to happen to Luka’s career since getting drafted.

Mavs hit the jackpot with Gafford/Lively.

I swear they better not trade either one anytime soon.
