EXUM MASTERCLASS
I just hope Kyrie is okay. Otherwise the win feels like a loss.
That’s certainly not what I expected
Dante gonna drop an F bomb in the post game interview?
IM BUYING ALL THE REAL ESTATE ON EXUM ISLAND
A win is a win, but damn that was ugly. Prayers for Kyrie 🙏
Dante Exum. 💪
Plays smart. Plays great defense. Plays fast.
👏👏👏
Exum Island stock 📈
Get better Kyrie.
Launch Dwight Powell into the sun. WTF.
EXUM MASTERCLASS TONIGHT BOYS!
Luka’s shooting was awful this game.
I’ve never heard Exum speak. I didn’t really expect anything , but not that lol
He went off today!!
Lively so good in the 4th. 4 fouls in the first 3 quarters. zero fouls in the 4th while grabbing boards and playing solid D
I hope that Dante can keep this up while Kyrie is out. He was a revelation tonight.
Exum is a high IQ player
Oh he’s really Australian
This was a masterpiece of dogshit by Dwight. 2 rebounds, 4 points, injured Kyrie and couldn’t stop fouling while Lively was in foul trouble forcing Markieff Morris into the game.
Just wanna point out that duop reath who spent last year in Lebanon and china is a better nba center than bumass Dwight Powell
Thj and Exum have been good this year. Thj for sixth man of the year honestly. Basketball gods please let Kai be okay.
Dwight Powell biggest fleecer in the nba how this dude make 83m and actively ruin a team.
seth curry is my goat never doubted him
Dwight Powell is a curse to the mavs. Always has been
*Dwight Powell has been traded for a new right ankle for Kyrie*
Weirdest Mavs win. Defense better than usual. Offense worse than usual. 70pts in paint. Shot fewer threes.
Is exum on a 2 year team option?? If so that’s a steal.
Some losses feel like a win and some wins feel like a loss. Team stepped up and grinded out a win in the road against a young Portland group. Hope it is nothing serious with Kai.
The Dante Exum game!
Also Luka needs to cool it with the 3s. Good things happen when he touches the paint.
Sadly, I think Hardy is out the door and being dangled for a trade.
There’s no real reason for him to not get any tick.
– Really hard to feel anything other than anxiousness about Kyrie’s injury. Really hope he’s okay.
– Exum is really good. Connects a lot of play on defense and offense. Solid POA defender. Excellent by Nico. Same goes with DJJ.
– Lively rim deterrence is real.
– THJ is more valuable than we think to this team. The spark offense, shot clock bail out 3s, charges taken, chemistry with Luka. I know many of us, including me, thought he would be gone this off-season, but man I really think if he’s moved at this point it’s gotta be for something pretty damn good.
– Future outlook for this team is the same. Great rebounding big body backup center, and a 6’7″+ wing. I know many won’t like this but Josh Green should be shopped extensively. Green/Hardy/Holmes/Kleber should be shopped. If a guy like PJ Washington was available for Josh and some filler I’d definitely make that trade.
– Hope Kyrie is good.
At least the floor stopped his foot from turning into the opposite direction. Don’t think that’s a sprain
We would be unstoppable the moment the refs gave their respect to Lively, for now they still fucking him up obviously lol.
Having Lively out there really changes a lot. Feels like we have a chance of winning every game with him out there. I’m glad they at least let him play his game on that 4th qtr.
From6/7 mpg…..to 10/11 mpg to 16/17 mpg …. now 33 minutes and 23 pts / 7 assists/ 6 rebounds and only 1 TO ….Exum has really had to wait to show what he could do
Everything else I was about to say has been said so I’ll say something that hasn’t.
Morris is a great box out and generally he knows where his defensive assignment is at all times and adjusts himself to be in a good position throughout the play. Not sure on him having big minutes, but it’s refreshing to see someone out there never looking lost or never having to rely on others to scramble because of their poor defence/losing their assignment.
