😂 so what the Mavs are going home in 5
Kings are in bad shape. Heading nowhere fast.
They have something to build on. They aren't as bad as people think they are. They might have the best group of big men in the league, solid wing play, decent defense, and they are deep. They may not make a serious run this year, but they can beat the Grizzles and they can definitely make strides next year if they can add a piece in the offseason.
Derozen and Lavine combined attempted 47 shots
Rest of the team: 42 shots
Why would the GM of Sacramento acquire Derozan, and then think 'OK now I'm gonna trade for Lavine'. We already know this duo doesn't work, we've seen it for 3 years in Chicago!? The mind boggles on this one
Kings so bad game 😮😮😮. Have to shot more than 50%.
That’s why Demar was traded for Kawhi and Zach and Sabonis wow
Always conuses me when analysts talk about teams as if they were healthy.
Did he not see Ja limping on one knee?
This is why they got rid of ball hog Luka so they could have a dominant big and to speed up pace
i want Mavs OKC, Hawks Cavs
Legs is rad honestly
Why in the world did the Kings trade for DeRozan and Lavine. Everyone could see it wouldn’t work.
I wanted The warriors to lose against Memphis so they could go against Dallas.
Time for the Luka fans (not actual Dallas fans) to hop off the bandwagon already. We real Dallas fans don't want y'all!
They beat the Kings 😂
Tim Legler nailed it – Dallas won with defense, not just star power. But if Luka stays in LA and Kyrie remains out, can AD and Klay alone really carry this team on a deep playoff run?
They are a scary team with a healthy Kyrie
Defense wins championships.
Always good to listen to the Legler analysis. I think he’d be a helluva player in today’s game. Talk about an assassin of a shooter in his day…
A full year of a healthy AD, Klay, Kyrie, Lively, and Gafford with some tweaks to their bench, they can compete for the west next year despite the hatred for Nico Harrison.
The best line from Legler on ESPN was: “ They call Porginis a unicorn because we never see him on the court.” Always enjoy watching his professional takes.
Trade derozan
next year once they plug in back Kyrie, they would be the best Western Conference team
Sorry folks but Nico saw something that you all don’t wanna admit. Luka has serious fitness concerns to the point where you’re seeing close to the end of his prime, maybe 3 more years of it, then him playing in all these leagues for all these years and not taking care of himself will catch up to him, plus he can’t play a lick of defense
I have never understood the shape of SVPs head. quite the anomally.
So he wasn’t able to get to the top for a bellator title shot but now he thinks he walking over ufc champions?
Mavs get kd next yr & win the title
Klay always play bad vs Memphis averaging 9 points the past 3 years
The Mavs will beat the Grizzlies and when the Mavs go up against the Thunder of they play like they did against the kings and Grizzlies the Mavs can push the Thunder to a 7 game series before being knocked out
The SAC Kings is confusing. They never seem to have a direction and it's been the case for over a decade. They have 3 All-Star players but cant even secure a playoff spot.
I think if Kyrie was healthy, I would pick them to win the west and the fact that they have great team chemistry play great defense
lets goooo mavs
I really like Brandon Williams hes a mini kyrie
If the mavs beat the grizzlies, I don’t think it’s crazy to say they can take OKC to 6 games. A lot of that depends on Klay getting hot, and AD putting up 30/10 every game. There a bad matchup for OKC based on there size and shooting.
