Oh boy. They gonna mess up the tank, too.

[david75090]

Yes, the Mavs are playing at Madison Square Garden with their next-man-up lineup. So far, they're doing pretty good. It's early.

[DallasMaverick]

Klay is on.

[OBX Maverick]

It’s amazing but this G-league team the Mavs currently have assembled seems to like playing together, and they have a bit of a rhythm going right now. I have really enjoyed watching their selfless basketball. Even Klay seems to be having fun (although it doesn’t hurt that he’s knocking down a bunch of 3’s right now lol)

[david75090]

Dwight Powell, starting center.

[david75090]

Dwight just got flagrantly fouled in the groin.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Tank destroyed. Ouch

[Reunion Mav]

He made the free throws. Somebody say Kat’s name before every Powell free throw.

[Mavs2021]

There are no other words for the level of stupid from top to bottom in this franchise. Imagine you remove the biggest moron in the league and you still dumb as f***. Cuban must be back in the fold with his culture garbage. Celtics get giddy. Cooper coming home in four years.

[david75090]

Mavs ahead 28 points at the half.

[DanSchwartzgan]

Tank destroyed. Ouch

Christie has to go!  

[DanSchwartzgan]

Christie has to go!  

Do we have to also create a slot to offer Cisse a standard contract?

Beautiful basketball in the first half. Love that type of basketball. Fast paced, movement, unselfish, attacking. Knicks look stuck in mud.

I have no idea how you need to root for a loss every game. You may have a future mvp type player. You want success. The losses will come. They have a tough stretch now. Although enjoy it. I don’t want to be a jazz fan and root for a loss every game and then find out you have the fifth pick.

I really like what Kidd has done with pg. once the the first sub comes in, we have a point guard on the floor for the res to half. Both pg are playing well too.

[Chicagojk]

So glad AD is out. If Towns would have done to him what he has been doing to Powell, AD might be out for two years recovering.

LOL. Yeah better to avoid Klumsy Kat at all costs.

[Mavs2021]

So this Knicks team are the favourites to win the East? If Tatum plays 25 MPG at 80% of his former self, Boston will beat them.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Knicks are a joke.

The 2024 Boston was at least 2 tier above this team.

I don't think there really is a clear favorite to win the East, which is apparently why teams are in various stages of talking themselves into trading for AD (hopefully).

[Chicagojk]

Less pretty and ugly second half. Knicks had a few chances to make runs, but they didn’t have it.

Not impressed with them at all. Thins had his issues but can’t see Mike Brown getting more out of that team.

Why is Kolek out of the rotation? I like him and thought he wa splaying well earlier in season.

What a stat line by cisse. Even made free throws after being fouled intentionally.

This is not a good team but if they hit their threes they can look pretty good. Everyone played a role. With be interesting to see if that continues when PJ and Gaff are back.
