It's just doesn't make sense. I agree.. Dirk would of course know better.. He's not being goofy on court everyday for no reason.

At this point, it's Ok to throw the whole Mavs franchise away. The sexual assault drama and the state of the franchise is just flat out disgusting.

It's the first game after the all-star break, I will not read too much into this loss. In the past, they would have been double-digit down before the end of the 4th quarter. They looked good on transition defensively but the Wizards moved the ball very well today.

Jesus Curry getting man-handled again.

This is getting pathetic.

We are still so careless with the ball.

Yea, that is Steph when he is aggressive not running off ball and screens getting pulled and mauled.

Can he just find a way to get around being pulled and mauled?? Because that's what happens every playoffs even though he finally burnt the Clippers as usual. He sometimes gets it done during the playoffs but at that time, it'll mess up his rhythm cos he's not used to "finding a solution" and it forces him to pass leading to turnovers.. OKC, Rockets and the Cavs have added this mauling to their repertoire and the refs would make it legal come playoffs.. I need an aggressive Steph maybe not now but during playoffs like last season and he needs to start acting like he's ready. If he picks it up, it's not hard for Klay, Green, Zaza and KD to pick up the pace.


Is he saving energy cos is regular season?? Maybe he is. Maybe they all are. Maybe.

I'm impressed Kerr decided to start McGee.. If we're not gonna trade him, let him learn..

He made some very stupid decisions especially early in the 1st quarter but he made adjustments and switched it up quick. His defense, positioning, getting lost on a play all needs work. I'm happy Kerr knows this and would start him next game. He definitely could use some minutes and good coaching.

I get that but I'm saying the Cavs can still be beat if the teams in the East believe.

I don't get it, were we supposed to win every single remaining game because we got new players? Lol. We shot 8/35 from 3, new players were just nervous on their first home game and Lues rotations didn't help either.

Tell the other teams in the east, "it's okay to believe, it's okay to have dreams, as long as they're not fantasies". This my friend, is a fantasy. For there is only one king in the east.

LOL! Sorry to disappoint you but your favorite player is a choker. Even if by some miracle you lot make it to the finals and by another act of God you win, the last person i'd place my bet on showing up or being finals MVP is choke curry. He just doesnt have it in him.

This is curry stats in the NBA finals 2015 and 2017. If you call that choking, there is something wrong.

man I hope he shows off. I don’t get how some are still considering if he is the greatest shooter to ever live. It’s not even up for a debate.

What a scrappy game. We are playing like bloody cave men.

As always, T. Thibodeau finds a way to run his best player to the ground. Butler had this coming honestly, he skipped the all-star games because he needed to rest and on the first game after the break was already playing the most minutes. I just hope he comes back quickly.

Yuuup. The complete playoff package with Derozan and the raptors choking.

2 quick fouls in the first 2 minutes of the game, I think Dirk is protesting the old-fashioned way. grin
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:25am On Feb 24, 2018
Derrick Rose -- Jimmy Butler.. This Thibs guy is a goat walahi.. Dude be playing just 8/9 rotation and forcing his stars to play like 40mins every season. Butler had it coming especially defending Thibs when the players were complaining about playing too much minuted every night..

Literally ran him to the ground. He seems to know just one way to coach. Not just Butler and Rose even Deng

Remains to be seen where the Timberwolves would land. They can still drop to 7th if not worse

I would be surprised if Butler is not done for the year
