There you go, Gafford!

Lonzo is the one I hated the most at first, but since then I have realized that he’s an OK dude and just caught nonstop shrapnel from his ass of a father. I feel bad for that kid at this point.

Gafford doing what he does out there well today, but still not able to close out to that three-point line quickly enough.

Kleber in, holds a defender at the perimeter. Kyrie layup.

Yeah, I don't care for his dad either.

I have some friends involved with Chino Hills high school. Not the basketball team, but the school. The last two years LaMelo Ball played there, he literally shot the ball every time he passed half court. That family thought the entire basketball program existed so that LaMelo could launch shots from half court.

O-Max has been really good tonight.
I’m honestly starting to think all the pieces needed are already here. Just need to get them all healthy, figure out exactly when and how to use them and for a couple of them to develop a little bit.

Then, as I type this, we see a mixup between Marshall and O-Max, and nobody closes out to Okogie, lol.

Looks like he's getting away with it in Charlotte. He takes tough shots.

Right. He’s too talented to have a team built around him and never stop being one of the worst teams in the league. I just don’t think he “gets it.“

Charlotte isn't going away.

Great weak side help block from Gafford, and before that outstanding pass out of a double team by PJ Washington. Edwards really needed to hit that shot, and I bet Grimes would have.
RE: Game 43: Dallas Mavericks (23-19) vs. Charlotte Hornets (10-28) | 11:00 am CST - KillerLeft - 01-20-2025
If they are going to double team PJW in the post, the Mavs need to be going to that more.
RE: Game 43: Dallas Mavericks (23-19) vs. Charlotte Hornets (10-28) | 11:00 am CST - HoosierDaddyKid - 01-20-2025
Give the ball to Gafford and get out the way.
RE: Game 43: Dallas Mavericks (23-19) vs. Charlotte Hornets (10-28) | 11:00 am CST - KillerLeft - 01-20-2025
My goodness, Gafford, PLEASE get to the level of the screen on defense!!!!
RE: Game 43: Dallas Mavericks (23-19) vs. Charlotte Hornets (10-28) | 11:00 am CST - GATA - 01-20-2025
They really need to play Gafford and Maxi at the same time. Would be the best lineup today

Immediately after this total non-contest and wide open three, Gafford was removed from the game. Maybe just for a rest, but it was obvious that they were going to be targeting him with screens until Kidd did something about it.

Josh Green still being Josh Green but he got that steal, lol.
