If our centers could remember how to dunk, we'd have a double digit lead.

It seems this isn't his series. He's been bad.


7 points, 8 rebounds off the bench and plus-13 when he's on the floor. Seems like he's playing just fine.

Kyrie has 18 assists over the last 2 games and it really should be like 25+ if Mavs bigs could finish inside properly.

He hit two difficult shots back to back with like 8m on the clock. Looking at the yahoosports box score I am slow by a minute.

Gafford should have had a 3 point play, instead scored 0.

Twice Hubie has criticized Gaff and Lively for missing easy dunks and they need to make them

That been the game plan. Luka first half. Except for this series, Kyrie second half.
