I think Tim is just on a good run.  We've seen this before.  We know he'll have a slump at some point but he should still get better looks than in the past so hopefully it doesn't last as long.

When he's on the floor with Luka, Kyrie, Grant and DL, he's playing with really good passers and connectors. Best he's ever played with. Even when DJJ is on the floor he makes quick decisions and moves the ball.

They just leave him open

 

i think both of those are true. whatever the reason his numbers are interesting too look at.  while his 3p% has gone up from 38.5% to 40.2% on 1.6 more attempts per game what catches my eye is his 2 point % has gone up a lot.  43.1% last year to 51.7% this year on .6 more attempts.  he's never been more efficient in his career (57.4%).

I’m done.  Family had season tickets for 30 years, starting with the first year.  I was one of the kids who mopped up the sweat with a broom for a year.  Might as well have sold the team to the Saudis, they probably would have paid more. 

The Mecca Mavericks has a nice ring to it…

While I know that Cuban says that he’s maintaining control, I doubt that the adelsons are agreeing to never have control. There must be a time set where  Cuban walks away.

I think this is a power play by Cuban and the Adelsons to use the Mavs as a threat to the Texas legislature to get a real casinos in TX vote oh the books sooner rather than later.  Threatening to move the Mavs to Vegas (they won’t).  Then when Vegas gets an expansion team, the Adelsons will be the owners of that franchise and will sell their rights to the Mavs back to Cuban (with Dirk as minority investor).

This is to move the team to Vegas.

There is going to be a 4 to 5 billion expansion fee. 2 new teams would put 8-10 billion in the current owners pockets. It’s a strange time to sell the team.

Cuban also stepping down from Shark Tank. Now this. Is there an undisclosed health problem? Cuban has never been shy of being on camera.

Prediction markets put his running for President at 25%. I wonder if that is for 2028 though as 2024 its too late one would think….

Cuban sold his majority stake to buy political influence to bring the world's first destination sports betting mega complex to Dallas.  

The Adelson family sold 10% of their stake in LVS to buy into a vision that would catapult the Sands Group into the world's foremost transactor of sports gambling.  

Both parties think they're buying in to 1920s Las Vegas.    

edit:  grammar

The Mavs have mostly been winning against teams without a pulse, but it's always nice to take down the Lakers.  I don't know how they managed it with most of the team injured, but I'll take it.  The West is just brutally evenly matched.  I can see Dallas finishing anywhere from 2 to 12.  Realistically, the 6-seed feels about right, but so much depends on which teams can get healthy and play to their potential.

Beth Mowins and whoever her partner is are terrible. They don't add insight and all they do is call out a player's name as they touch the ball.

How was the foul on booker not a flagrant? He hit Grant on the head.

LOL.  Her broadcasting made me miss the game.  When I turned it on and saw the two announcers, I put it on mute, which led me to immediately fall asleep.  Thanks a lot Mowins.
