Grant took 2 dribbles and was already almost on the floor looking at refs. :D

He is smooth attacking.

His 3 point shot has looked iffy. Almost as if he's lacking confidence. (Or maybe it's just his style, but gave vibes that he was overthinking).

OKC getting spanked. Irving doing well. Take him off and let him rest before something bad happens.

Dwight going from starter to garbage minutes. And Lively is not even playing.

The only other team to beat them this bad all season was the Nuggets apparently.

It’s a great day for 41Dirk41.

For all of us really. Dallas having a very strong center rotation is amazing.

Kidd will have really big problems to decide, who is starting C. Gafford looks dominant.

Do you know that your only contribution on this forum in last few weeks is talking about me? I'm kinda flattered but I believe that's unnecessary and not very interesting to others.

Maybe administrator can say something about unnecessary personal comments, especially if someone is not even in the conversation.


Flattered and then cry for mom and dad in the same comment?

You’re doing the same thing you consistently do. You hunt for a number on the internet, decide it’s not good enough, and then claim which players are good or bad based on that number. Pointing that out isn’t an attack.


If you don't like advanced stats and know nothing about them, you don't need to comment. I didn't even have conversation with you, I have with Archx, who understands those stats very well. And you didn't point anything out.

For your information, my dad died few months ago.

Forgot about the 2-way rule, convert AJ, there's your last roster spot, pay him for his efforts.
Man, couldn't have dreamt of a better debut.
Mavs finally have a dog in Gafford.

After Gafford's last and-1 from an offensive board.

Too bad Spencer is not coming back, otherwise we are even deeper.

Serious question...how many times have the Mavs outrebounded their opponents in the last two seasons

The way Kidd defended Giddey was demoralizing, felt bad for him in the end, he looked very bothered.
DJJ was a menace on defense.

Remember that OKC also helped Mavs with that pick to get Gafford :lol:

Yup with Dinwiddie out, I don't really see anyone else that make the rotation anyway. Sign Lawson to 4 year deal like GG Jackson did with MEM. Gives you a cost controlled decent rotation guy for a while. Put 1 or 2 non-guarantee years for versatility.

When I put the poll on this topic, I originally had "3" dunks, but figured Gafford wouldn't play as many minutes and/or Luka wouldn't so deliberately throw him the ball. It was pretty crazy.

He also then looked huge next to these OKC 'bigs'. And his free throws looked silky smooth. Absolutely perfect debut.

PJ Washington looks great attacking the basket.

Hardy had a couple of great shots to stop the bleeding when the Thunder were coming back and a cool pass in garbage time.

Maxi resurgence from the dead continues.

For some reason Luka had a point to prove to start this game.
