The Mavericks and Celtics are a pair of throughly modern teams, but in distinctly contrasting ways, which should make for an entertaining series and also a referendum on two models of team construction.

Luka Doncic Is The NBA's Truest Gamer

by John Wilmes

It's time for some Gamer Theory: Luka Doncic plays Overwatch, and is in the 99th percentile of performance. He's in the 100th percentile of NBA players, but it's important to understand he's also elite pretending to be a futuristic gladiator and talking trash to teenagers.

no D in Hibachi wrote:I agree Ellis is better than Westbrook, but PLAYING longer than you are doesn't make sense. It's not the least bit coherent. What does it mean to play longer than you? Well, I guess if you mean in the bedroom I understand, but I'm sure that's not what you're trying to say.

Size in the bedroom LOL !!!

He is a SG, who can play PG (but not a full-time PG).

Think Monta Ellis/Corey Maggette on the offensive end. He loves to slash and create for himself.

And yet he's even a better defender.

The guy will be a good pro. It may take him time to adjust to the NBA, but if a Run-N-Gun team can pick him up in the draft whether it be this or next season, they are going to have a real player.
