Ayton has really good defensive instincts but I think Javale McGee has better offensive instincts.

It is easy to do those moves when you walk. He switched feet.... but no one calls traveling anymore. They should just eliminate dribbling....

I think with THJ this would be a more competitive series, guy competes hard on both ends.

Pretty funny. They just keep talking like they didn’t see it.

If Mavs want Doncic to play defense, JB has to be the primary playmaker, while Doncic works in the post...

Mavs are going to have to play like this all game.

Up big with Luka 1-7. Love to see it. They'll need a 15 point lead going into the 4th.

Is JB a legit playmaker? He should be more of a scoring threat than playmaking.

When Doncic quits playing like Harden, then the Mavs will be better in the playoffs. Doncic has the ball literally 80% of the time for Dallas. That kind of usage and offense is not winning basketball.

But it's great for Luka's stats.....

CP knows it's a big game so predictably choking.
