Daigneault is stubborn as ****.

Said Dallas will be in competition for Bronny James in the 2nd rd. Suggested Lebron might go to Dallas.

If you want me to post a link just give me the word and I will deliver per usual.

Why are you taking anything Stephen A says seriously?

I mean he's usually right on these kind of things. He literally said this is what he knows. The man has connections to the Dallas area. He's literally on yacht boats with Jerry Jones. Im pretty sure he talks to people within the Mavs organization.

Also it just popped on my YT feed. Im not subscribed to his channel if that makes you feel better.

Been that way both playoff series, but Gafford has a dislocated finger and Lively's excuse is he's 20 I guess. In the regular season those were automatic.

SloMo at least defends well and is a high IQ connector piece. Big strong body, knows how to play.

Not a promising start for the Thunder.

Derrick Jones Jr must be one of the least convincing drivers in the league.

Discount Abe Lincoln is **** soft for a big man. Getting manhandled by Gafford.

A dude like Giddey can't start on a title in 2024, come on.

Lebron, Kyrie reunion. Hmmm

Luka would make a great 6th man

I do not believe Lebron is going to come to Dallas until I see it happen. I'm more worried about this playoffs because we're trying to get to the WCF.

That 3 was better than that turnover 10 feet pass the 3 pt line Luka shot earlier

That airball by Giddey was painful.

I don’t like they not call but I don’t dislike players who can make the most use of it until they call.

OKC are frauds. They badly need size. Trying to guard Luka with overrated and only 6'3" Dort is a laughable strategy. They're a terrible rebounding team. Giddey should be moved for a 3 and D wing or big.

Kyle has been a mixed bag in these playoffs. His minutes in this Denver series leave a lot to be desired. His lack of footspeed hurts the Wolves defense.

This Melo/Perkins commercial is awful.

Thunder look small and weak. Even if they somehow win this series they’ll get destroyed by the Wolves or Nuggets.

I still don’t get keeping giddey out there when you’re losing his mins by a lot

turnaroundJ · Post #3059 » by **turnaroundJ** » Tue May 14, 2024 1:48 am

I wonder how far this mavs team can go this year. maybe if Luka were healthier. i'm not sure Kyrie reaches this elite level again next year.

They would trade Luka to Lakers for Lebron in a sign and trade, but only if you include Austin Reaves.

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
