Jesus that's bad. And apparently it happens so often that it's a recurring thought, so then it's reeeeeeeally bad.

Also I like perusing the opposing teams forum when we play to get their thoughts on the game from the other side. What I usually come away with is literally every fan base respects RC as a coach they'd want. It's why as much as I get frustrated with us winning games and people questioning whether he is the right guy for a rebuild I absolutely do not want him to leave. Jason Kidd gets fired and he will prolly get another job in the off season but not really a guarantee(more because of name not because he is actually any good imo). If RC were fired his voicemail would be flooded before he got home with offers.

And that's exactly why Rick is trying to teach Smith to play off the ball. It's soooo important to play the game without the ball in your hands all the time.

But frankly, Wall has always been overrated. He can't shoot and turns it over all the time. Very undisciplined game where you don't know what Wall you will get night in and night out. Low BBIQ IMO.

Wall when engaged is a damn good player. Seems like he's been coasting all year. Didn't he sign a mega extension this offseason? Wonder if we'll see Beal for Boogie this summer

I've only been to one Mavs game well ahead of the tipoff time, and that was a preseason game. I think I arrived about an hour before tipoff. I was able to watch the Hawks' rookies & back of the rotation players do some shooting drills. I remember 2 of their vets were out there going through some stretches & I think ballhandling drills, but nothing exciting. I never saw any Mavs players out of the floor, so they must of got their time in before hand.

I know I did hear Coach Carlisle say on tonight's pre-game radio interview that the Mavs have their team meeting 28 minutes prior to tip off, so Dirk & other vets get 8 more minutes to warm up in the weight room with exercises designed to get their muscles loose. So, you definitely need to be there more than 28 min prior to tip to see the Mavs put in any work. My best guess would be to play it safe tho and be there as soon as they open doors to the public, probably 2 hours prior to tip.

Appreciate it. I’m only in town for Wednesday so maybe Deep Ellum and Downtown.

Watching the Salah exchange with the ref the ref was an asshole. Salah is just asking for an explanation without being aggressive. The ref just keeps repeating “its their ball” and then Td Salah up. The foul in question was garbage but he could at least give an explanation as to what he seen.

I felt that burn in AZ. Ouch.

Kleber block at #3 as well, only defensive play in the bunch... I recommend watching it on MUTE.

Mavs finally get some plays in top 10 (Smith to Kleber oop should have been on there a few days ago) and it’s cringementator of course. Seriously NBA how hard is it to have goatmentator do the top 10 every day?

"He's trying to be a tough guy when he's not."

Man, Wall is too small for JJB... he's taken on the likes of Andrew Bynum and Blake Griffin. Go home Wall... you've been overrated since getting punked by J Lin in summer league.

a quick youtube search indicates scuffles also with Westbrook, Ray Allen, and KG (speaking of fake tough). love that guy!

That Wizards team was tough to watch last night. Lethargic and totally disinterested. Beal was the only guy that looked like he gave a damn. There was one point leading right up to halftime where Morris was pulled (thinking maybe 10 seconds left) and he sloooowwly walked towards the bench and ended up sitting on the scorers table a few feet in from the coaches. He'd be on my shitlist yesterday if I were Scott Brooks.

I never believed he was on the block in the first place. Jabari and Giannis paired just fine prior to the former's injury.
