Man, that Nugz, Clips, Clips, Blazer and Blazer stretch is tough.  May looks great except for the Nets.

Is this local or national media?

National.  Bucher mentioned the rift.

Thanks

Bucher sounds like he is really reaching on that line of thinking.

I think he's reaching when he talks about which direction Luka turned after the game winner and almost wrote off his comments, but before those assumptions he did mention he's heard chatter around the league.

RC was the one that turned his back on Luka and didn't "celebrate" per Bucher.  Then the other guys mentioned RC was clapping etc.  

I am going to dismiss the Bucher analysis of team chemistry as hot takeism.

In addition, there was time still left on the clock and Carlisle's job is to make sure that they are prepared for the next play.

Rick never ran out on the court for any of Dirk's great winners, but there has never been ANYONE more effusive with legendary status praise than Rick Carlisle for Dirk Nowtizki AND for Luka...there is literally NO ONE who has consistently sung Luka's praises more or proven it with his actions, because when the VETS on Luka's own team were still trying to boss him around on the court, CRC was taking the decision making away from them and giving it to Luka...a ROOKIE...it's YOUR team.

i'm not sure what planet they guys are on, other than they are media members and they RARELY care much about truth...they are all about angle, marketing, clicks and views that lead to $$$ for their employers and themselves ultimately.

Is Bucher seriously arguing that a coach literally doing his job and thinking ahead to the next play rather than celebrating a big shot because the game wasn't over is somehow controversial? This kinda crap is why I can't stand most national sports media anymore.

Both the report and Bucher are from BR...

It's TV so yes that's what he's saying.  I think the more interesting tidbit is what he has heard around the league that has him overanalyzing that situation.

Anyone with any knowledge of the Mavs would have been better served to report that KP was having issues with RC. THAT would have gotten some people to listen.

Season finish is going to be brutal. 

2 five-games-in-7-days stretches. 

Playoffs will seem like a holiday after that.

I predict this will get some significant players hurt.

Also, who is driving the schedule? Arenas (mostly) aren't seating fans. Is this getting pushed by networks? "Give me X number of games or I'll withhold payment on the contract".

TV contracts demand a certain amount of games to give full pay out.
