Arena already half empty. People pay for overpriced tickets only to leave early.

Dante Exum is so good

He's a smart player.  Good ball handler too and doesn't get rattled.

PJ Tucker is cooked

Josh Green going through one of his slumps again. -15 in a blowout win. Exum might start stealing some of his minutes.

The Demaris take on Harden is worth a listen.

Holy Shit Dameris!

Jason Kidd must have read some of the comments about Rick Carlisle on this board today.  He obviously took it personally and brought his best lineups out tonight.  Everything he did worked well-  at least for the first 3 quarters. The DJJ as a starter gimmick continues to succeed.  Heavy Exum minutes worked well tonight.  I even liked that he found some minutes for OMax.  Take a bow, Coach Kidd.  Tonight was awesome.

Wow, what a win. After yet another bad start Mavs totally dismantled Clippers. Exum changed the flow of the game in this one, basically everyone was great offensively. 45 % from three helps, but they were mostly very good and open shots.

Clippers are a mess. Way too much of shoot first players. George and N.Powell are completely lost after the Harden trade. George is shooting around 25 % since the trade. Powell lost minutes and shots. Their only chance is to swap guys like Powell and Hyland for a couple of defensive wings.

The Demaris take on Harden is worth a listen.

Dude just became famous lol

[Chicagojk]

His hands still worry me. For all his good work, lots of Derek Fumblyhands tonight.

Also Biyombo now averaging 10/11 through three games for Memphis. I would have liked him here, but it´s completely insane the Suns let him walk.

He had some shaky moments in the second half.  The scary thing he is a few tweaks from getting a double double pretty easily most nights.  Seems like there are rebounds and points he leaves on the table each game.  When he figures that out, watch out.

[The Jom]

Will be an all star. No doubt. He’s killing it at age 19.

   Nico should be winking at Paul George though.  When the clips decide to rebuild they can have a few of our firsts for George.  He would be perfect here

I don't think Clippers will decide to rebuild, but George might be looking for a better place if things continue to go the way they started. Getting old and lots of injury problems, but in theory he is exactly what Mavs need. One of the ways for Clippers to get out of this mess is trading one of their stars for more flexibility, and I doubt they would get much (anything) for Westbrook and Harden. Kyrie could play his part here.

Holy Shit Dameris!

Wow. Just wow. Dameris totally and completely destroyed Harden. He had that one locked and loaded.

[Mavs2021]

Holy Shit Dameris!

Explains why Kyrie is behaving so well. He´s scared of the wrath of the Dragon Dameris, from the House of Mavericks, spitting fire on him.
