Luka, welcome back to mvp race. It’s SGA or yours to lose
You got a cold huh slightly
Love the Kitty Slightly💓!
that game looks like scrimmage tbh, let’s hope Luka is now ready to explode in Goberts face…
DP hit a 3PT shot! 👍
Not surprised that Luka’s bruised heel was suddenly healthy and ready to go after those Clippers games
Now all we need is for Lively to become a semi serviceable stretch 5 and we got a dynastically structured team
Can the landlord carry the offense on a nightly bases 🤔
Definitely Gafford's game in this one. He had to remind Mavs fans that he can easily start. He doesn't because he is the more consistent center who can uplift the bench without Luka and Kyrie needing to be out there. Lively's offensive game relies on those two but not Gafford. Lively will develop but I'm stating this because too many Mavs fans underappreciate Gafford while gassing up Lively who still needs to develop.
Glad to see Luka out there attacking the midrange and him continuing his chemistry with Klay. That's important to develop for the big games. Also props to Klay bringing it on both ends of the court. Looking more comfortable out there. Props to Kyrie for also having a good shooting game and bringing pressure on defense. PJ also played well. Good team win in this one.
Sorry but the let it ride music don’t hit the same .. bring it back
Lukas defence was solid again!! But, normies ignore.
Powell gets no love for that 3pt shot?? 😐
Nick, that was pause at the beginning
Should they start having Lively work on 3PT shooting from the top? It’s been often lately that he finds himself stuck at the top trying to hand the ball off and his defender has dropped down. If he could pull a three there successfully it could be huge.
3:16 that shi was CRAZY!! 🔥🔥😅
You guys are great together, no pause.
Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄. Happy Holidays to Nick, Slightly and all the Raccoon squad. Mavs are ready to climb into the top 3.
Anything
Nothing has had a more significant impact on the Mavs becoming a contender than adding Gafford. When Kidd bites his lip and plays him enough, he always produces on both ends. He's an All Star caliber center and also a great person
Daniel Gafford is called the Landlord for a reason. Just put him there and watch him collect his due rent.
TBH I think the Lively 3pt talks are full of hopium imo. How many bigs who entered the NBA without a decent Jump Shot eventually developed one? There is a reason we used to call tall guys who can shoot "unicorns"
It's sad Dwight Powell took his first and only 3pt shot this season with more confidence than Maxi showed so far
slightly blurred
The Jason Terry disrespect has got to stop. That dude was a bucket!!!
The old intro music is way better.
Bro look so lame 😂
Gafford need to more muscle to be baby Dwight… He need to dominate other big in playoffs….
LeBron being top 10 or eventually top 5 in 3pm is just longevity since he's by far the worst shooter in the top 10 at 34%
Daniel "AaaAaaandwAaaaaaNnnn" Gafford
Scored was a BEAST last night. Had like three extremely tough and1s back to back to back. His energy is insane too one of the BIGGEST blessings that have acquired 🎉🎉🎉
I hope they didnt play Gafford a bunch so he can be traded.
When was the last time Maxi AND Powell made a 3 in the same game??😂
Dwight hit a 3 in garbage time, I’ve seen enough, put him in a 5-out offense against Boston immediately
Daniel Antetokounmpo 💪
Rent is DUE!!! Pay the landlord (not optional)…
