Now if the Mavs could just stop getting injured they might have a chance

I’m happy that he’s out West. We don’t need our players getting sonned like that.

Biggest drawback to Giannis is he's not that skilled of a player. He can run real fast and is long as he'll, but a guy like Luka just has the game figured out. Clutch as he'll too.

LOL @ soft Mavs fans who didn't want Doncic to play today.

He'll laugh at you too. He built different.

I'm sure that step back 3s drive some sensible Mavs fans crazy at times. But can't argue with the results.

How is this kid 21yo? Luka has now put every young player in the league on notice. I hope he leads to some young guys really putting the work in to be better now.

This makes me want to see a Luka/Lebron and Porzigis/AD series more than LAL/LAC series tbh.

I have a good amount of respect for Coach RC.

He gets everyone ready and score at high clip. There isn't huge drop off when Poz or even Luka aren't in the game. Can't say the same about most of NBA coaches.. like Ty Lue.

Giannis is talented, you're not finding a handful of 7 foot guys who can do what he can-- he's just a center tho, with limited perimeter skills

Wow PG played 45mins and only had 9pts/8rebs/3ast/21%FG/14%3pt Clippers fans got to be reeling.

Gallinari/Gilgeous-Alexander/5FRPs for this?...

Kawhi has done everything right in the past couple of years, but it's hard not to second guess what could this team have been with Shai Galaxy Alex and Dallio Gallinari, and a bunch of picks. Playoff P was supposed to be no brainer, but really?

He's so crafty around the basket, kinda like Dragic but a lot better. I hope Spo is showing Tyler Luka clips and Dragic is mentoring him.
If Tyler wants to get to allstar level he'll need that Slovenian craftiness since he's not an explosive player. And he'll need to a tight handle.

Like Lebron he made the move. Clippers only got PG13 because he asked for it. So same with Lebron, if neither wins it because of their teammates, it's on them. They built the rosters.

Yeah, I don't think it's a wrong move at all. It depends on how you value Playoff P, who was the best player in the trade (which usually means it's a good trade for Clippers).

IIRC Kawhi's first choice was KD, then JImmy, and then PG13. And we are now looking at WHY. LOL

Tenks Jimmy for choosing us <3
