Im sorry man, that’s gotta be heartbreaking to any Mavs fan trading away Luka. Like franchise star took you guys to the finals last year, def top 5 players in the league and only 25. I don’t get that trade, espically since wasn’t shopped to any other team and, trade for 32yr old AD(obvs great player) max christie and only one other pick with him? Biggiest trade ever and kept super DL. I’m sure you’ve heard about some of the conspiracy’s, feel like the nba/adam silver def had something to do with this to make the NBA ratings higher. Lakers draw a lot of causal fans to watch and something def fishy with that trade. -
Side note think everyone knows all star weekend in SF this year at Chase. I knew it would be way to pricey but looked at ticketmaster yesterday jus for shits and giggles. The cheapest ticket for just Sunday game is 1600 each, for the upper section. Not even weekend pass, every event cost around the same. Hella Sucks that most Bay Area working class fans won’t be able afford to go, would be really cool experience in person. But be watching on TV still chill too. I wonder if new mini tournament set up this year makes people play defense. Def makes it little more interesting

I gotta watch highlights later, just got home from work and checked score. OT lose tough, feel like Celtics will take this series . Locked into okc/nuggets game. Side note going to game 3 of dubs/twolves series Saturday, we’re hella stoked. We were at game 4 of rockets series and Chase was rocking! Such a good time, game. There’s Only so many years left of curry, draymond and now butler. So worth being little broke going to another play off game lol. Plus uppers aren’t super bad, Like 650 for me and my wife to go Saturday. -
@meatmarketdenim1 watching the Nugs myself. OKC has such intense energy and defense we can’t even move the ball without a turnover. Lil nervous here.

@Mizmazzle
Damn man, okc is clamping down. Swarming Jokic, plus home game from them. Okc is a great team, my buddy is big okc fan. So I’ll check games here and there, text with him etc. nuts see where they were at few years ago till now kinda impressive. Great drafts and trades. A solid team and SGA is nuts. That being said, they had last week off. And Denver just had battle 7 games vs clippers, think Denver will rally and get some wins. Going be really Hard beat Denver 4 times -
@meatmarketdenim1 3rd quarter was a battle!!
-
@Mizmazzle
Dude what a great game! Down to the wire, jokic killed it and Gordon big game winning 3 -
@meatmarketdenim1 GORDAN is a legend!!!
-
AG is amazing. He works his ass off and it shows. Keeps the glass clean and hits clutch shots and free throws. He absolutely posterized Holmgren on a dunk, hit clutch free throws, and then added another amazing game winner with that 3.
None of it happens without Jokic going nuclear either.
I just love this team. If MPJ’s shoulder and head get right they have a chance against anyone even with their lack of depth. For them to play the way they did on 48 hours rest from a 7 game series against a team with 8 days rest is nothing short of inspirational.

@mclaincausey said in NBA (Basketball):
He absolutely posterized Holmgren on a dunk,
That was arguably the highlight of the game! I mean, game winning 3 was freaking badass too!! haha
-
@Mizmazzle agreed.
The more I think about the game the more impressed I am with the Nuggets. Here they are only 48 hours past a brutal 7 game slugfest against a younger and deeper team who’s been resting for 8 days, they keep getting close and then OKC immediately stretches the deficit to double digits, and they end up winning with, of all things after how tired they must have been, hustle.
One of the grittiest team efforts I have ever seen.
-
Dubs just got nice road win over twolves. So hyped!!! Hopefully curry back for game 3 or 4. 3 would be extra nice since going lol. Sucks see him injuried but have faith in rest of the team. Crazy think few months ago we were so mid, and got jimmy butler and making nice run. Also nuts all the road teams won 1st game so far. And pacers got 2 over Cavs, wild ending to that game
-
I think Steph won’t be back until game 5. Hamstring strain is a bit of a recovery if it’s mild and they shot themselves in the foot with the Houston series. Now they have a game every other day
-
@marco23d
Yeah think your right prob 5 or even game 6. Week long injury at minimum. was some copioum on my part, hoping he’ll be back game 3 or 4. Jimmy, dray, and buddy rest of the squad should be able get couple wins while he’s out. And yeah not handling biz last series in game 6 was a heart breaker, extra strain on curry but Bright side is it unlocked buddy for legendary game 7 and rolled over tonight, the buddy cycle -
@meatmarketdenim1 if the Nugs can find a way to move past The Thunder it would be so fun to go up against them Warriors. We sure as hell don’t want anything to do with the wolves. I’m pulling for your boys…for now
-
@Nick I mean at least the Pacers won two on the road against the top seed. Has to take some of the sting out of the gentleman’s sweep
-
@Mizmazzle that game was so ugly. That score looks like the end of 3 quarters. I’ll be watching Curry’s recovery closely. I’m sure Draymond will stomp someone out to even the field
