Good news I hope. Mavs should have an easier schedule but who knows.
Well, it'll remain to be seen what teams will turn it on in the second half of the season. It's entirely possible to have the worst schedule in the league for the first half and the second half too. Would really suck if that's the case, but it would be very Mavs-like to have it happen to them that way.
Looks like White and DeRozan are amongst Covid SA guys. They are starting Samanic, who played G-league a couple of weeks ago.
Zion being an all-star is a joke. Fight me.
Celtics getting slaughtered...their will too live was destroyed by Luka and Brunson...

In the west. Certainly questionable. In the east. Easily. Zion is unstoppable on offense. Most dominant inside scorer since Shaq. Probably even better than prime LeBron or Giannis when it comes to points in the paint. 25/7/3 on 65.6% TS. Looks like an allstar. But...
It´s not translating to any net impact because the rest of his game is lacking. Mediocre rebounder (especially when it comes to boxouts) and one of the worst defenders in the league.
Overall I am okay with him making it. If Lavine (and even more players in the past) can make the allstar game without playing any defense. Why shouldn´t Zion?

I always reward winning. Don't have the West all-stars memorized but I believe Zion is the only one on a garbage below .500 team; he's like the Western Conference Trae Young. I rather see Conley or DeRozan but I get it, Zion is the ESPN created star.
I would happily trade KP for Griffin if the Pistons add Bey and Stewart. Pistons nailed the draft. Bey looks like Trevor Ariza 2.0. Stewart like a Harrell/Adebayo hybrid. Probably the most underrated player of the draft class. He might be the impact ROY.
No Grant, no Wright. Up 5 v the Pelicans. Even DSJ is having a good game.
OKC doing us a favour. East teams unfortunately no help tonight (so far). Indy lost to GSW, Detroit to NO

I'm still salty about Bey. He'd make DFS expendable in a trade package.

It's a fan event which is coincidentally why Luka is starting.
Jazz/Nets finals should be fun.

Really showing how a small market team (basically any team outside of LA and NY) should operate. Best free agent signing on the roster is Bogdanovic. Not being able to attract big name free agents isn´t an excuse.

This is the one move that really really really hurts. You're 100% right.
It seemed so obvious to me that Bey was the guy you take every time at 18. He fell right into the Mavs lap.
Oh well. Lets hope Green can become something next year.

When Bey was available at 18, I honestly thought we were going to get him. I was wanting Stewart at 31 for a long time. They both might flame out, but having a great season so far is more hope than the guys we got.
The Jazz are breaking all kinds of records in 3 pt scoring. Never in my wildest dreams, did I see that coming from them. They clearly are the best team in the league, but the question is, will they be able to sustain it?
