Fresh basil on your pizza, and blue cheese to dip your wings in, yummy, my friend :beer:


Swing by later if you're hungry; there's plenty left.

Nico can't publically declare they're tanking because of..obvious reasons but they're tanking

there's no other reasonable reason to start the season with 18 Years old Flagg at PG


Well DLo mains the PG today so less FLagg as a playmaker. It's funny they still look bad. Grizzlies commentators saying Mavs playing selfish and have no one to create for others. Go figure.


yeah, D-Lo is awful obviously and is unplayable in a team without spacing

the Mavs would be horrible either way, especially with all the injuries, even if they didn't play Flagg at PG but at the beginning of the season..no way that's an actual basketball call by Kidd, i don't buy it

Nico should go for more defensive oriented player and trade Flagg for Ayton to pair him with AD

Mavs traded offense for defense and are now dead last on offense and not even that much better on defense lol... Didn't think that was even remotely possible. Funny thing is, they didn't look that much better even with AD playing.
