Luka roasted the Rockets. Man is so good. Total changes the conversation for Dallas. They went from hopeless scrubs to super bright future. Crazy how he's so young but has this much impact. Kid makes Donovan Mitchell's crazy rookie ascension look like a joke lol. Mark Cuban has to be on cloud 9, kid could surpass Dirk his trajectory is off the charts.

Porzingis needs to get it together ASAP. Their team has a chance to do damage. 11-5. Wow. Number 1 offense in the NBA.

Yeah, I was watching this game live. In this particular game Mavs and Hou were two completely different teams/visions:

- Mavs is well coached team, with excellent chemistry around Luka and Porzingis. These two fit extremely well
- Hou is pure and raw star power, Westbrook and Harden just force things on the floor by using elite athleticism and talent

Interesting enough that Luka is not perfect, he was missing bunnies at rim, made questionable passes and shots. But his IQ is off the charts. One thing that stood out to me is Luka ability to generate FTs. I am little bit concerned about Wiggins not getting, not earning those FTs. I hope Ryan and coaching staff will address this during this season and next offseason.

Saying this I hope that we are heading more in DAL direction than HOU.It is really up to Rosas to make make next big move. Either trade or draft.

Just for info:

Bogdan Bogdanović averages 15.4ppg, 43% 3pt shooting on 7 attempts per game, 4.7(!!!)apg, 1.5spg. All this coming from the bench. At 6'6" with a 6'11" wingspan, high IQ he has all tools to be a decent defender.

I wish can get him from SAC without overpaying much. But I would expect SAC to decline team option for Bjelica and Ariza and keep Bogdan.

It's imperative that we get a couple of players like that. Guys who can do damage.

He's getting ridiculed. This is another reason why I don't mind his trolling it's also entertaining to see what happens when it blows up in his face lol.

The Spurs are unreal right now. So bad. I hope we don't give them any miracle tonic when we play them next. The old wolves would spark their comeback for the rest of the season.

Well coming up on the quarter mark of the season it looks like the Wolves, Suns, Kings are all competing for those last three spots.

Blazers and Spurs both have a shot to come storming back. Maybe the Pelicans if Zion lights a huge fire.

The Kings after heir horrendous start have been very good. They started 0-5 and they have almost caught up to us in the span of a few weeks.

Dallas has really shot off a like a rocket and will be hard to catch, if Luka gets hurt though they are in big trouble.

The Suns and the Kings have been playing better ball than us but we have been missing key guys frequently. Maybe we can raise our level of play when everyone gets back healthy.

Miami is next.such a toxic teammate. Who would want that as a coworker...

Interesting fact, Goga "who-is-this-guy-next-to-Zion" averages more points, rebounds and blocks than Zion.

I hope it is smart plan by Riley to make Dion Waiters and James Johnson look like tradeble. Oh, wait...

Miami's Dion Waiters has 'panic attack' after eating weed gummies

Russell Westbrook flirting with the quad double tonight. Needs 3 boards, 4 assists, and 5 TOs.

KGdaBom · Post #215 » by **KGdaBom** » Thu Nov 28, 2019 2:53 am

Russ might do it. Entering the 4th he needs 1 board, 3 assists, and 3 TOs. I haven't seen a quad in a long time.

I know our team can frustrate us with terrible games like today, but how about this one. The Jazz are losing at halftime 37-77 to the raptors.

Hilarious. Boob press.

Of course! Tyus can't shoot today and Brooks misses a bunch of threes. Grizzlies get beat by double digits and the Pacers are have won 6/7 games.

GSW is tanking perfectly.
