Daniel Gafford tonight: 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 26 minutes played.
Daniel Gafford has demolished the most consecutive field goals made record of 28 since Wilt. He is almost at Wilt’s record of 35. He has been an absolute game changer of interior presence for the Mavericks since the trade deadline.

Mavs with two competent centers, I could cry
I am naming my 1st born Daniel Gafford
Just let him take all the shots. Easy win.
[For those unaware that Gafford is actually built different](https://youtu.be/hL3xxnTvMYM?si=K4gCAprALkI11TWT&t=23)
he’s actually going to break a wilt record. that’s so nutty.
Seeing how good Gafford and a rookie Lively have been makes me wonder just how insane Luka with someone like Bam or AD would be
Kidd better play him consistently. In landlord we trust!
god i hope he gets it. never thought i’d see a wilt record broken. it’s fucking wilt
Haven’t been watching, are these almost all layups and dunks?
there is no way he is gonna do anything other than dunk now just to get the record
Go from winning 7 in a row , then Kidd starts cutting into his minutes by going small ball with Maxi at the 5 and we go 1-5. Now back to Gafford playing more minutes and Maxi solely playing his minutes at the 4 and win 4 in a row. Jason Kidd man! lol At least he fixed it before it got worse.
He should start shooting 3s non-stop going forward now that he has unlocked the cannot miss perk.
Luka gets a legit center lineup and in a month they’re breaking Wilt records. Makes you wonder just how much potential we wasted throwing out Powell, Cauley-Stein, Boban. I feel like if we had a guy like Gafford in 21’ that wcf against GS becomes real interesting
Bill Simmons was right, Sam Presti and OKC are morons for not getting this guy before the trade deadline.
Why doesn’t he just take ALL of the shots for the mavs? Are they stupid?
Edit: /S obviously
Daniel Gafford breaking Wilt’s record should be a boost to Luka’s MVP candidacy tbh 😭
Why did my Bulls trade this man😑
Shouldn’t they just have him take every shot? This seems like an amazing advantage that they are not utilizing
Nikola who?
I need him to break it by hitting a 3
He’s gonna chuck a 3 to start next game
How many shots vs dunks?
Just refuse to shoot unless it is an open dunk.
What I really want to see it the record tying shot about to roll in and then there is offensive goaltending.
Man, I’d be embarrassed to be the team that drafted him, then did absolutely nothing with him.
Gafford is the type of guy that maximises his own talent. I have no doubt he will keep improving in the future.
I’m sick to my stomach. Glad he’s on a good team, he deserves it. But I have no idea why we couldn’t make use of such a talented player. Relegation in the NBA has never been more of a better idea.
