you kids are saucy today. must be beer Fridays.

big honey is a game time decision. I'm trapped indoors tonight and need my Nuggies at full strength for peak enjoyment
 
They just showed Big Honey already in his career has over 100 more wins with no all star teammates than anyone else in basketball history (if I read it right).
 
Klay Thompson is a shell of his former self. He doesn’t even try anymore.
 
Another incredible GOAT stat. MJ had more games with at least 40 points than games with less than 20 points, and he did it in the toughest era with the highest level of defense.

Truly the GOAT.

DLive and Kleber got broken noses in back to back games. I am continually shocked at the things that happen to this team.

 
Why does this still happen so many times every game?










Pop is washed. I hope that Wemby isn't trapped in SA for too long.
 
Big Honey is in, and on pace for a 25-25-10+ line. Tho Blazers hanging in there, Denver playing soft on defense for the most part.

Kyrie has missed around 21 games this season.. if he'd been available in those games I think it's fair to say they'd have won at least 7 of those.. which would make them 33-16, and around 4th in the west..

He's been explosive on offense this season. Having him available as an option makes Luka even more potent..

It depends on the teams they faced. If you look closely, they haven’t been exceptional with him in. Actually they are 15-12 with Kyrie playing and only 12-10 with both Luka and Kyrie playing. With that said, these two are not the issue with the team (other than both being a revolving door on defense at times).

Interesting stats, and point taken.

2 takeaways though, Luka and Kyrie haven't had heaps of games together this season to build chemistry..

Despite the record of them both on the floor not being amazing, the mavs have played over half their games missing 1 of 2 star players.. their record isn't THAT bad considering that.

You're right, they've been inconsistent, but it can be hard to build consistency when your starting 5 can't consistently be on the floor together at the same time.

I agree that they need to get healthy before becoming consistent. However I do think Luka and Kyrie have had ample time to become familiar with each other. Going back to last season their record together is even worse (17-21). Almost half a season worth of games together now is enough to form familiarity with each other. It’s the supporting cast that needs to gel with them for the team to be better.
