Are we going to hear what Edwards said to the Mavs’ locker room attendants now?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

justifying that is shameful


As a neutral observer, the only thing that's shameful is the Mavericks handling of this young man's life and career. He was obviously concussed last time, and likely got another one today. Two concussions so close together very no bueno. An NFL team would even be ripped for this. Dis cuss ting.


Let me guess, you're a Minny fan / Dallas hater who is crying over having to face again one of Minny's main tormentors in the first 3 games...

He's a killer.
Not even afraid of taking stupid shots.

If that went it would have been backbreaking gameover. Wolves would have surrendered at the half.

You have no idea what you're talking about, just stop. You're basically accusing doctors of a conspiracy to hide a concussion. It's beyond stupid.

Have to feel bad for the Timberwolves. Such a likeable team.

And how great for the NBA would it have been if a differently built team would have actually won something and changed the meta.

Pretty disappointing performance by Timberwolves. So we wait for June 6. NHL until then. Bye NBA!

Maybe if they were playing Denver. But Dallas is the best team in the world.
