Lol, how is this "step back" three point shot that players are now doing not a traveling violation?  Seriously, they are stepping and jumping backwards and to the side by two or three feet!  And this is after they've picked up their dribble!  IMO, once they have picked up their dribble, they should have to shoot from where they stand.

Because James Harden and the NBA refs say, "It is, too, basketball!"


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - Mavs2019 - 09-02-2020

Let´s go Heat. Wes Matthews finally coming through for us.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - mtrot - 09-02-2020

Wow, I hope the Mavs are watching this Heat/Bucks game.  This is the level of play required in the playoffs!


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - Kammrath - 09-02-2020

Bucks down....0-2 games. Yikes.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - Scott41theMavs - 09-02-2020

Come win with Luka, Giannis!!!


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - FunkBoreland - 09-02-2020

Watching OKC V HOU, wishing we had guards like Dort or Schroder, both high energy, defensive minded players. Especially Schroder, the guy has leadership that Chris Paul would want to play with him on any team.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - dirkfansince1998 - 09-02-2020

I thought the refs in the Bucks vs Heat game were bad but Scott Foster is on a different level.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - SleepingHero - 09-02-2020

I cannot believe OKC didn't use their at least 1 of their 2 timeouts.

Billy Donovan is garbage.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - SwisherPrice - 09-02-2020

Billy Donovan just standing there while OKC has a meltdown on offense. D'antoni may not be a great coach but still better than Donovan


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - FunkBoreland - 09-02-2020

WOW!
Dort did not need to throw the ball to Harden.

HARDEN with THE BLOCK! And jumping out of the balls way. OKC should of call timeout to get a good play.



RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - Mavs2019 - 09-02-2020

That was some chokefest. How does CP3 not take the FT at 102-104?


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - Kammrath - 09-02-2020

Neither team WON that game....ugly.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - Hypermav - 09-02-2020

Flopping, bad refs and crappy Westbrook make for a wild last minute.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - dirkfansince1998 - 09-02-2020

What a mess. Terrible refs. Flop compilations. Choking. And in the end Harden wins the game on defense.
Last minute of the game lasted nearly 15min in real time.

Today once again showed why CP3 never made the finals. When it matters most he passes up the shot and makes bad decisions. The entire series was a perfect summary of his career. He plays great for 6 3/4 games but cannot finish it.


RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | Giannis is DPOY - SwisherPrice - 09-02-2020

OKC just plays too much ISO ball. They're lucky they have good guards who can make it work sometimes but in crunchtime tonight, they needed an actual offense when they couldn't rely on just CP3 hero shots.

Man, Dallas would've SMOKED anyone in the first round besides the two LA teams. I'm not saying they're better than all of those teams, necessarily, but Carlisle had his team way, way, way more prepared than these other coaches.

Im slowly becoming more and more convinced that if the Mavs traded for CP3, they could've made the finals this year. 

No need to worry about Cp3  choking when you have Luka and KP to close out games. And CP3 provides the necessary 2nd ball handler that Burke showed how nice it was to have.

Couldn't help but feel the same.  Question is how he would get along with Carlisle.
