    he popped up on the radar a while back due to signing with klutch. but that was before the luka trade. i wonder if we're as tied to klutch as we used to be in light of that.

    Aquaman has some Superman Levels of restraint to not just level Donkey boy with one forearm to the cranium.
    I wouldn’t be able to not get thrown out of the game while having to watch what the Donkey does to his opponents. The worst part is the League(via the refs) are still too lenient on him.

    Actually, the joke should be that whoever drafts him will be forced to raise ticket prices on fans to cover the US-imposed tariff tax on Chinese imports.

    They better hope that injection wears off soon and Ja starts feeling that ankle. Cause right now he's destroying them. 20 point game. Didn't expect that at any point in this game

    Dallas does NOT look like a playoff worth team today.

    "But how's the defense look?" -- Nico (probably)

    Sorry bro, that doesn't look good either.

    haven't watched this one (friday night stuff), but i honestly thought it was in dallas's best interest to lose it.

    getting killed on the boards despite playing big isn't the gameplan.

    mavs role players couldn't make shots when they got close. memphis's guys did. ballgame.

    memphis about to get shellacked in round 1, as dallas would have. difference is that dallas will move up four spots in the draft.

    Man if Dallas had a good ball handler like Luka, they'd be onto something here.

    In seriousness, even with Kyrie back they don't have enough shot creation for 48 mins, and they're shooting isn't good enough with PJ and AD getting so much time at the 3 and 4.

    i think kyrie changes a lot on offense without really compromising their defense (this is assuming he can still be kyrie after an acl tear at his age, which is unlikely). you can see that even brandon williams changes their offense noticeably when he plays.

    i'm still a believer in elite defense giving you a shot even if you're not a good shooting team.

    whatever; again i think it was best for them to lose this game. and i don't think it's a referendum on the theory.

    oh, and AD is clearly injured yet again, so i guess it's all moot.

    edit: lol, and max just threw a pass farther into the crowd than i've ever seen.

    AD done as is the game. Knee, calf, groin and back all bothered him tonight.

    Neither of these look like teams who belong in the playoffs. I'm hoping Memphis will at least make OKC break a sweat, but I'm not holding my breath.


    Edit: AD is coming back in. Based on how he's moving, that's a bad idea

    40 points and 9 rebounds for a guy who probably shouldn't even be playing. Man has heart.
