Will street clothes play more than 3 quarters this time?

No need to hate on the player, my friend.

Hate on Nico, not the Mavs players.

Nico and Patrick are just unable to put things in the right perspective. It's all about them instead of what is the best for Mavs. Or maybe they believe they can win 2 play-in games and OKC in round 1? :lol:

With luck they have I wouldn't be too surprised, if AD is long term injured in the process.

It's just a question... If you take it as "hating" then you admit the problem and you hate the player :lol:

Then it was my mistake. I apologize and let's carry on.

I wonder what motivated bringing AD back. AD and Dwight Powell is still a play in exit. AD without Lively doesn't make sense though.

Those teams are very weak... If AD can't win a couple of play in series is not as good honestly.

It could work both ways. The Suns with 3 all stars are 11th in the West. Dallas will have AD and a couple of above average role players.

That being said, with AD at full health, I expect him to score 30+ every game without Kyrie.

My guess for the play in lineup is AD will just have to play center now by default. That is if Lively cant come back in time.

AD
PJ
Naji
Klay
Dinwiddie

That's enough to get past Sacramento?

Beating Kings is not enough for playoffs.

Strange that they wouldn't tank. It worked out well 2 seasons ago and they got Lively.

Suns being so bad makes it impossible to tank.

When Nico said this trade was for win now, we didn't know he was talking about GLeague championship. Joke's on us, my bad Nico

2 years ago it was 10th pick or nothing, and they were already eliminated when they tanked, just not matematically.

2years ago Nico Harrison didn't make the worst trade in sport history, he has to save his face in some way.

Tanking is just an failure admission , he can't.

I'm honestly pissed about PJ statements, probably he is afraid for a trade this summer or for his next contract (he will and expires next year) but he could have avoided taking a stand this time.

This is not the time to criticize the fans... Mostly after a home L against those 76ers. Pathetic.

Does that mean that the Texas Legends will be a stronger team than the Dallas Mavericks?
