NBA ***2024 NBA Thread - Let The Games Begin***

Hockey players play a physical sport and they want to play every game.

Lmao @ mentioning glorified figure skating itt.

Nuggies always seem to look so much nicer after they get time off - granted is the lowly Wizards. So far so good, hope the game stays close enough for Big Honey to get minutes in and a trip-dub top complete having one against every team in the league - he's done a couple of moonshot full court passes.

I always like how when people ask him which players he looked up to growing up, instead of saying legends he goes with Boris Diaw who averaged like a 8-4-3 triple single in his career.

EDIT: Yoke with a 6-11-8 line so far. Would be hilarious if game gets out of hand and he misses out on the trip dub due to insufficient points.
They took an assist away. Now at 10-11-7.
Cookie Monster now at 10-14-9 at halftime on 5-5 shooting from the field. Could be another triple double without a missed a shot if he gets an assist and early benching.

Edits: It's done, 14-16-11 line so far on 7 for 7 from the field. Still early in the third, triple double achieved in about 18 minutes of playtime. Might have been on a mission to get it.

Assholes making Mavs fans look bad

Wish more players would do this. Would stop dumbasses from saying stupid shit they wouldn’t normally tell someone.

This Mavs team is playing tough post trade deadline.

Great win tonight and this is the type of effort they need every game. Washington played very well defensively and Luka too majority of the game. Hoping they keep this up rest of the season.

Are you suprised that his current player and son are trying to defend Doc? They're both wrong but I can understand where they're coming from.

It's funny that Stephen A looked like he wanted to to defend him as well but couldn't. Maybe most of the media will finally figure out what we all have already that Doc is an awful coach still living off of that 2008 title.

Doc is the Fat Mike McCarthy of Basketball

Seven in a row. The main thing is they don't seem to be getting killed on the boards in most of these games like they did prior to the trade deadline. PJ Washington put in great effort on the defensive end all night. The one-two punch of DLive and Gaff is something Mavs fans haven't seen in a long time. Josh Green helps out with some corner 3's and high energy. Luka/Kyrie may be the best guard tandem in the league.

Kyrie is still a monster.

I don’t care too much about the prior games because of the level of competition but this was a good win against a playoff team. I agree Luka and Kyrie are the best guard tandem in the league, just need to stay healthy.

The surprise isn't that he gets fired, it's that he keeps getting hired after.

They have the Pacers and Cavs next. Both on the road I think. If they win both of those and extend this streak to 9, fuck it, all bets are off. Who knows what going to happen.

Looks like Fat Horsejockey is getting rest of night off. 21-19-15 line on 100% field goal shooting (10 for 10).

That will add to Jokic' perfect triple doubles, and pass Wilt on the all time list for perfect trip-dubs. The two remain the only players to have multiple trip dub games with 10 or more FGAs.

Luka and Kyrie combining for 70 is going to be tough to beat most nights.

Warriors-Flakes in a close one. Curry with 25 at half.

wtf is this....

I’m starting to feel bad for him now. He also got kicked out of the starting lineup and coming off the bench now.

What do you expect from a inbred city and inbred dallas "people"?

 

[Sweater of AV]

Players letting fans get to them this hard is hilarious. You're just asking these idiots to do it more. The best players don't give a flying fuck. Get some mental toughness.

This is how you handle your business.
