Now 11-1. I hope they can continue this run against the best team in the league. But Luka played over 40 minutes and it's b2b. I'm not too optimistic about this to be honest.

It's time for people to give Kidd some credit.

Mavs are a +2.5 point underdog.
This will be a tough game since it's the second game of a back to back.

Maybe Kidd is used to Eastern Conference style basketball with coaching stints in Brooklyn and Milwaukee.

This is a big test for us. Our defense has done well in defending the 3 and forcing opposing teams to shoot the mid range shot. Suns thrive on the mid range shot so I'm interested in how we adjust.

Love the TNT guys calling out the media (ESPN) for blaming coach and Russ for all of the Lakers problems. Malo and Lebron aren't doing their parts on defense either. Everybody is just after their own.

LMAO at the ending Luka steals and hits the 3 and Cuban bumping fists with the TNT crew.

Yup just typical for the mainstream sports media honestly. Last year Harrell, KCP and Kuzma (especially him) were complete scrubs according to mainstream media. And here they are this year on the Wizards playing pretty darn well.

Why Kidd is not resting Luka a bit? He's totally exhausted.

After 3rd Q, Luka is already dead. Raptors game tired him out completely. Kidd really played him over 40 mins on a b2b lol...

He has played him 31 minutes in first 34. Nuts.

Great fighting game by Dallas.

KP is alone with a smaller defender, he has the option to go to the basket, but he does a fadeaway jumpshot using the backboard... I mean...

EDIT : Well this time the team completly collapsed. Hard to believe they were leading by 9 with 9min. to go. Ugly basketball to end the game.
