Gobert threw a weak rear end punch because his back hurt

Gobert hurt his back in a victory over Spurs on Saturday, and nearly didn’t play today. He was sore, believed he was fighting through the discomfort and referred to those limitations with his back when arguing with Anderson, sources told ESPN’s

That's true but and I was a big fan of Dampier's screens. However, that due had stone hands.

The greatest Mavs centers (in no particular order): Tyson Chandler, Roy Tarpley, and James Donaldson.

You can't stop what's coming
RIP to a bummer of a Hornets season. Feeling decently optimistic about next year, though — looking forward to more Mark Williams and Bryce McGowens, getting Cody Martin back, some resolution to the Miles Bridges situation, and they’ve got five draft picks + like $20+ million in cap space to work with.

Some lotto luck and a healthy LaMelo and who knows

You have until tipoff Tuesday to get play-in predictions in, but the play-in round is kinda chump points so you can also start in the first round and be fine.

Wouldn't a healthy Robert Williams III still see the Celtics run into the "don't gave an MVP caliber guy" hurdle?

Not critiquing so much as wondering what the threshold is for you to elevate a team beyond needing a true MVP-level star (Pistons 04 must fall in this bucket yea?).

How is Tatum not an MVP calibur guy?

30.1 points a game, 8.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and plays good defense.

Jaden McDaniels is one of my favourite players. It does not surprise me one bit that the drama Minnesota Timberwolves has been immersed in for the past few seasons manifested itself in a super gifted player being unable to contain his emotions. This team is like a ticking bomb, and I sometimes wonder what's going to happen when Ant loses it.

There was a good podcast about the upset statistics on a recent GOAT episode with Kevin Pelton and yeah the Kings are the most vulnerable team but it's important to note these upsets happen like 20% of the time.

I think it's based on WS/48, where Tatum is outside of the top 15 which was one of Zogo's target stats for championship teams.

I will say with Brunson his last year with the Mavs was his best one and no others even came close. Maybe that is on Rick Carlisle for not playing him enough, but even so fans had reason to doubt that Brunson was going to be what he eventually became. Hell, his games against the Clippers in the playoffs weren't exactly good.

Not defending Cuban here, gently caress the guy, but with Brunson there's a little more to it.

There was a question of what does he look like without luka, and i think thats 100% of why the mavs hesitated, because they wanted to be able to flip their ‘sets for a star.

And you really have to blame it on them because not being able to self scout is something true of the most mediocre to bad teams. Should’ve just agreed to the max extension the second they could have, They hesitated and that was the opening for the knicks to take him.

It was all thoroughly reported by Tim McMahon, who’s hated by the mavs organization for getting to the truth of this type of poo poo
