Safe to say Dallas won the trade deadline ehh?
Gaf and PJ totally changed their outlook as a team.

Our guys aren't ready to f'ing shoot the ball once again
Stop hunting the perfect shot and BE A THREAT.

If the Thunder aren't going to make any threes and get dominated on the glass, they are losing this game. It won't matter how much they are in the bonus.

Luka has more boards than OKC's starters combined.

I'm loving Kyrie's play despite not having scored a bucket, he is taking what the game gives him, not forcing anything.
My Mavs MVP of those POs so far, definitely.
And he is also playing great defense

SGA biggest weakness is that he isn’t a high level passer/playmaker

Kyrie turning into a true PG has been incredible to watch.

Hard to get rebounds when 2/3 plays are a turnover or made shot

Check the crowd my man.
Mostly farmers and cowboys in the crowd. Dallas a football town.

Well, Mavs's defense have been pretty good since the trade of Gafford and PJ.

The bad thing about this is OKC is the frontrunner for any star that becomes available.
They still need another vet.

His shoot selection is abysmal again, and already started to lose it to his obsession with refs (in one possession, he didn't even run back while complaining to a ref), but he is clearly on a mission tonight. That's the first time I see him very active at both ends of the floor.
