Sure, SGA handily outplaying a hobbled Luka who can't even run properly. That's shocking. :lol:


He’s not 100% for sure, but it’s funny how last game he was great and Mavs won and nobody hammered home the injury thing. Then in games 1 and 3 all they talk about is Luka being hurt lol.

judge for yourself.. quite evident to me, it is at least 3 levels below usual

I wouldn't say totally free, they gave up a future first round pick for each. But it changed the team. I believe other than Boston they had the best record in the NBA since the trade.

Nobody thought anything of it at the time, ESPN gave their trade deadline a D.
