Now this is the stuff you get up at 5 am for.
Finally some serious basketball.
Lets go.

[KillerLeft]

Anxious to see who's available tonight and who's not.

[JamesConway912]

Washington, Kleber, Harden and Exum out.

Marshall back, Walker Kessler as well.

Oh, no. I fear no PJW = no victory, but hopefully I'm wrong.

[JamesConway912]

Grimes will start for PJ per Grant Afseth.

PJ is incredibly important for this team but Grimes has played stellar basketball whenever he got the start and Marshall was on a tear before the illness. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us pull this one out. Should be an awesome game.

[Mavs2021]

Mark Cuban allowed Goga to clear waivers on the minimum, cause we had Javale, Powell, Wood and Bertans as our bigs. HalleLuka these days are behind us. Orlando is the next Boston. NBA will probably find a way to move Orlando to the West for Seattle.

[KillerLeft]

Good response after that timeout.

[Jym]

One week of hot shooting and Klay will be over 40% on the year and his numbers will look perfectly fine

[KillerLeft]

Not a good Luka game, so far. Plenty of time though, obviously.

[Chicagojk]

Faster pace is good this year, but Mavs need to be better on turnovers. Especially against this Thunder team. Absolute killer if you are tuning the ball over.

[Mavs2021]

Luka´s dumb full court passes, Dinwiddie´s atrocious turnover and just like that you are down eight.

Those two full court turnovers hurt. They have some really good defenders to rotate on him.

Yeah no idea why Din didn’t just dribble the ball up himself.

[KillerLeft]

Man, OKC is GREAT, defensively.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Wow! Omax totally stoned J-Will and then switched seamlessly, shades of OG.

[KillerLeft]

O-MAX!!!!

[Mavs2021]

Only down three playing careless dumb basketball is annoying and impressive at the same time.

[Mavs2021]

You know Omax matches up very well physically with Williams. He should go full study mode.

[Chicagojk]

OKC is really good. This feels like a heavy weight fight. Let’s see if both teams keep going back and forth.

The turnovers though. Need to improve. Give OKc credit there though but you need to be smart with the ball.
