  1. I don't think it's time to hit the panic button just yet. They're .500 and Curry and Horford have missed games. They lost Looney who was pretty much their only big worth a shit last year and a tremendous glue guy. Quentin Post and Trayce Jackson Davis (who has also missed some games this year) aren't exactly putting any fear into anyone. The big question with them has always been health and size. They haven't had a ton of either this year. Even at full strength, they are one of the smallest teams in the league. That Hartenstein/Chet combo was always going to be a bad matchup for them and now they get French Vanilla tonight. All I know is that I wouldn't want to face a fully healthy Warriors team in a playoff series. There are a ton of dudes on that roster with lots of playoff skins on the wall. They are just going to have to figure out how to bubble gum and band aid themselves into the playoffs. Utah, Memphis, NOLA, Sacramento and Dallas look like they are destined for the bottom. I don't thinking making the play in in the west is going to be as daunting as it originally seemed. But it's still way early....
  2. Uhhh... hate to tell you this, but Cuban absolutely tanked in that exact position so they wouldn't have to give up that pick to New York that turned into Lively. You don't think Cuban was on board for that? Even when the Mavs were at the end of the Dirk era before they got Luka, Cuban was quoted as saying that they were going to suck for a good while until they were able to find another star and build it back up. With regard to the path forward... I would not tear down to the studs. It doesn't make any sense to if you only control your own first round pick for next year. I have some news: this team is going to lose a shit load of games as long as Kyrie is out, just about no matter what else is done. It's a roster construction that was build around Luka, it makes no sense as is. So you can call it a tank, but it's really just a bad team in a tough conference. The Mavs are going to lose, and lose a lot. So, suck this year, hopefully get lucky again in the lottery, move some pieces around if you can get some value, then run it back next year with a healthy Kyrie, more experienced Flagg, maybe a healthy AD (lol), and some retooling around some of the role players. Depending on how Flagg develops, you can put together a pretty decent team going forward out of it. One more thing... I've been watching a few Mavs games (more than actual Mavs fans it seems) and it's annoying as fuck how your announcer constantly refers to Cooper Flagg as "Coop". Call him Cooper, fine. Call him Flagg, fine. But Coop sounds fucking stupid. Is your play by play guy an Aggie?
  3. This has been one of the craziest nights I’ve ever seen in the nba.
  4. Wemby 6/9 from three. Rest of the team? 4/24. Woof. Can’t believe they stole this one.
  5. Rough shooting night from Champagnie. He’s had wide ass open looks too all night.
  6. They need to play some defense this quarter. That was some weak shit in the third.
  7. Kornet back tonight. Almost back to full strength sans Harper. Giddey out. Hopefully they’ve alerted all the local middle schools.
  8. The maddening thing about Georgia is that no matter how ugly the game is or how poorly they play, they damn near always seem to find a way to pull out a win (except against Bama for whatever reason). I don't like those assholes and I fucking hate Kirby, but credit where credit is due. Winners win. And let's give a little credit to this Longhorn team as well. It's looked really, really bad at times against Kentucky and Mississippi State and whatever ref fuckery that happened in the fourth quarter against Vanderbilt, but this team has found a way to grind it out, outlast their opponent, and make enough plays to win. So fuck whatever schemes or matchups you want to talk about, this game is about outfighting and being tougher than these fucksticks for 4 quarters and however many overtimes it takes. That's the game to me.
  9. Yeah he was hurt his first couple of years. If Detroit had better lottery luck they would be on the verge of a dynasty. And gimme Cade ten times out of ten over Sengun.
  10. Cade Cunningham is a beast. I’m not going to do a top 10 players in the league right now list but if I was I would be hard pressed to not have him on it.
  11. The schedule has been mostly ass, but 7-2 is 7-2 and good enough for the second best record in the league. And they’ve been beat up too. They’re really going to be fun to watch at full strength. GSG
  12. Fox… it’s been awhile. Oh I remember why the spurs traded for you now.
  13. Love the physicality tonight. They are taking it to Houston. There would have been 500 fouls if they officiated this game like the Lakers game the other night.
