Game 21: Dallas (13-8) @ Portland (6-15)| 125-112 WIN!!!

[ItsGoTime]

He already had the usual 5-10 game stretch where he showed that he can defend and rebound on an elite level if he wants to and has been mailing it in ever since. Couldn't even motivate himself for a revenge game in Phoenix. Trade deadline is still more than two months away so he has no reason to showcase himself. Would be a surpise if he picks a random game in december to make a statement.

It’s just weird that he doesn’t understand that if he played that way all the time, maybe he’s not redeemed from being a first overall draft pick, but he would be an integral part of a championship team. All that bulk just wasted.
