  1. i'm surprised the titan made it to the titanic as many times as it did before imploding.
  2. luka's cavalier attitude towards ball protection drives me nuts. i hate that he insists our role players stand on the perimeter so he knows where his outs are when he's in trouble. we need to be cutting and rolling to the paint. the bolded part is what we need to address this offseason. this series could be a godsend for our chances to resign DJjr.
  3. he came into the season around 225. he's probably around 245 rn but hard to tell with alll the wraps he's got. the weight gain since the break is a function of not being able to work out and resting as much as possible from nagging lower body injuries. his conditioning is paying off in that he's not only able to play through these injuries but also able to play at a high level. he's completely altered his offense to adapt to his injuries but he's still reeling off triple doubles after being hunted on defense.
  4. yeah makes it to the nba finals but he can't win. it's a troll take and you should be ashamed of yourself for quoting it.
  5. for all the talk about how unstoppable boston is on offense, how bad luka has been on defense, and despite the nightmare inducing 3 point barrages that replay through my mind in the small hours of the night we've done decently on defense. if only we could score. regular season avg: 120.6 ppg miami series: avg 107.8 114 101 104 102 118 cleveland series: avg 113.2 120 118 106 109 113 indiana series: avg 119.5 133 126 114 105 our series: avg 106 107 105 106
  6. if you can't tell the difference you haven't been paying attention.
  7. yup his conditioning is fine. he's in the best shape he's ever been in despite playing fiba last offseason. started conditioning the first day of offseason in 2023. hired a nutritionist and changed his eating habits. came into camp 20 pounds lighter. it's why he's been able to play at all in the playoffs despite having this knee injury. he needs to be more consistent. our game plan since the trades has been to funnel everything to the paint where lively and gafford are. it's been working. top 5 defense since may. 23rd before that. in the playoffs up til the finals he's been very good. he finally hit the wall against the celtics from the combination of them hunting him every time down the floor and then having to constantly run out to different players on the 3 pt line.
  8. Along with the lack of defense mentioned above Hardy has only recently (past few months) taken this next step into being a reliable decision maker with the ball. Some of that had to do with Exum being so good up til the playoffs but it looks like the game finally slowed down for Hardy right after the ASB. Josh Green has always been untouchable in trade talks but now I think he and Hardy are both on the same level and definitely trade assets.
  9. i walked out right when they walked in.
  10. beginning of the third quarter gafford posting up tatum worked well twice in a row and then we didn't go back to it. play the two man game with luka and kyrie. run out with kyrie and josh on rebounds. we're going to have to trust josh green. don't let the celtics get set up on defense. break glass in case of emergency - timmy. at least he won't be tired?
  11. At Hurtado's. Worst part of this is it's turned into a working lunch.
  12. durian is banned in our house.
  13. I maybe have one lunch and one dinner in ft Worth tomorrow. Staying at the Hilton on main. Where should I go? Cattleman's? star cafe?
  14. Kyrie's not playing with the same energy on defense as he had been against LAC, OKC, and Minn. I think those series might have taken more out of him than we realize. He's tired. I haven't check but this might be the longest streak of games he's ever played. I think he's missed one game since February.
  15. He started conditioning the first day of offseason. Hired a personal chef and changed his eating habits. Showed up to practice the first day 10 pounds lighter. But ok.
  16. The Mavs defensive plan is to funnel drives I to gafford or lively. That said, Luka should be trying to make brown go left, not right. And he needs to be rotating instead of watching. I think he'll be better tonight. We've been good at making adjustments g2g.
  17. On offense: Be patient on the switch. Exploit them switching on the Luka PnRs and take it to the rim. If horford's in the game, finish in the paint. If KP 's in, pass to the open three. Tonight we didn't look to pass out. We don't ever run plays for Kyrie but we need to. Let Kyrie and Luka run the PnR with each other or play the two man game with them. On defense: I actually thought we did alright on the perimeter. We need to body up everyone but especially d white once the ball goes up. We gave them a few open 3s but we'll never be able to take that away. We have to win inside the paint especially if we get helpside defense from our bigs. We got beat 75% of the time tonight in an area we should control. Yes as much as he says it doesn't bother him those boos affect him.
  18. something called FrontOfficeSports.com is reporting amazon, warner bros (TNT), and comcast (NBC) are negotiating with TNT for nba rights. please make it happen.
  19. i want to know what does kendrick lamar think?
  20. It wasn't an issue because we could afford to leave someone unguarded on the perimeter - namely giddy. Against Boston we can't leave anyone alone. I hope you're right though.
  21. I'm not anti gafford one but, Im a huge fan. I just see he can't defend the perimeter. The issue is more than KP getting hot and hitting a bunch of 3s. Our defense is predicated on the perimeter guys funneling their players to the paint. That's where gafford and lively reside. Go back to any game the last two months and watch us get set up on defense- gaff And lively float there until their man comes to them. But they're not going to be there if they're guarding the three-point line which we have to against Boston.
  22. Thought i'd put this in here. Any Austin or Dallas surlsters have a lightly used 30 inch bbcor or (preferably) usabat they're looking to sell?
  23. is that a real article or is it something AI generated? i can never tell.
