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

Because that's not considered a travel. You can lift your pivot foot as long as it doesn't return to the ground before you shoot.

The guy literally went 14-14 to close out the Pelicans.

I wouldn’t bet my paycheck but I’m pretty sure it did though. Looked like a full on walk.

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

He is. He just can't play with Doncic being the SG, because Doncic just stands still. Doncic has to play the PF, no other way.
While if Doncic plays PG, Brunson can just play a 3 point shooter, because he can't cut etc., since he's too small and can't get a shot.

The only way to play JB and Doncic against PHX, is if JB is the PG and Doncic is the PF. Hope they won't deviate.

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

U realize usage rating is based on if u finish or assist the finisher right? Not how many sec u hold the ball

7p/7r/5a/+9 after a real bad shooting (3/10) first quarter, Mavs up by 9, can take that. Best possible starting for the Mavs.

Let him have the fun, he's repeating the same BS all the time. Literally has no clue what he's talking about.

Look at our resident Dubs troll. Glad to see you've dried your eyes from all that crying your fanbase has done this week about Draymond and Brooks.

What he usually does and what most player do is to step with the foot that isn't the pivot foot and then jump and shoot. It may look like a travel, but it is not according to the rule.

I would need to see a replay to be sure in this case though. It did look legit to me in real time.

Yikes, Bullock.

Suns look like they missed the plane to dallas. Missing easy 5footers, unforced turnovers, missed defensive rotations

Usage depends on a stat being created by you. The more you hold the ball, the more likely you are to create a stat, whether it be positive or negative.
