ATL - Embiid Out for the Season

I didn't realize Dallas drafted Luka and Brunson in the same draft.

If Giannis played in the 60s, he'd probably have been 1st team All-NBA six times in a row by now.

It's a bad look now, but it is going to be a really bad look for the Mavs in July when they're still doing mental gymnastic to try and convince everyone that it was a legitimate transaction.

I keep coming back to how Cuban was convinced he was still going to be in charge of basketball operations but then his opinion isn't even valued enough to have an opportunity to weigh in on this despite owning 27% of the team.

That and if the secret wasn't kept he would have moved heaven and earth to blow the deal up.

Like he said in this latest interview: Dallas obviously could have gotten dramatically more for Luka than they did.

Cavs escaped, even shooting 51 FT

Some interesting national games this weekend. Lakers/Celtics Saturday night. Thunder/Nuggets Sunday noon. Bucks Cavs are national Sunday night.

Mavs are again on the national Sunday afternoon game. :roll:

Nuggets 37 points in the first quarter, no FT.

Not saying he wouldn’t be an asset for us still, but ryan dunn’s minutes have really cratered over the last month

Thunder/Nuggets actually have a B2B Sunday and Monday. Both games in OKC

Jokic 31/21/22 still a minute to play

Sheeeeesh.

First 30/20/20 game in league history.

Damn, seems like I missed a good one.
By the way, who do the Suns even have at center now?

Edit: Never mind, just checked. They are starting Bol Bol at center with Plumlee at backup...
No wonder Jokic ate against them, lol.

Nick Richards is their starting center

With Dallas missing so many players Suns will probably sneak in the play-in

30/20/20 is ridiculous.

Yes it is, and it makes you kind of reassess the Jokic greatness. I think a lot of people (myself included) get put off because he looks like just a guy at the YMCA and dismiss him as more Tom Boerwinkle than Wilt Chamberlain.

A lot of people (myself included) are wrong.
