For Mark Cuban being such a good businessman. He sure has put a #@#@#@#@ roster around Luka so far.

KhalDrogo · 03-15-2021, 09:56 PM

Typical Rick pulling the hottest hand down the stretch. Hardaway on fire and gets subbed out for Richardson. Brilliant move.

RogerGodahell · 03-15-2021, 10:01 PM

Timmmmy!

C'mon a couple stops here

KhalDrogo · 03-15-2021, 10:02 PM

Rick is a #@#@#@#@ing clown. Never challenges anything he should. Let Luka pick up his fifth foul on what was clearly a Kawhi hook watching live. Moron.

RogerGodahell · 03-15-2021, 10:06 PM

Damn it...well he got the triple double

RogerGodahell · 03-15-2021, 10:09 PM

Too many players played good for the Clippers. They had 7 guys in double digits.

KhalDrogo · 03-15-2021, 10:12 PM

Couldn’t overcome a bad night shooting from Luka and too many mental mistakes on both ends. Have to come back Wednesday.

They had a decent shooting percentage, especially from 3. Only had 5 free throws the entire game, but clips only had 11.

Outrebounded 46 to 33. That's your game.

Honestly, these refs do not understand continuation anymore. They should just say there is no such thing as continuation in the nba because they are so inconsistent.

That would be nice. Luka's first foul on Kawhi in the 4th was a good example. I've seen that called a shooting foul 1000 times. Then you have guys getting fouled at the free throw line, taking two steps to the hoop for a layup, and getting the call. Defenses need to start double fouling on plays like that to prevent easy baskets. Can't get called twice.

KhalDrogo · 03-16-2021, 07:49 AM

O/U 0.5 trades for Dallas by the deadline

I'm always surprised this doesn't happen more. I guess they're all programmed to stop when they hear the whistle but you see some smart defenders get a second foul in to prevent a possible continuation shot going in and they never get a T or anything for it.

I would agree it is over.

They will do something, even if it is not splashy.

James Johnson is dead weight and has an expiring contract, they should be able to pull something from it. Even if it is a small piece.

The_Reverend · 03-16-2021, 12:36 PM

Luka is a triple double machine and he does not stat pad. He could have a few more if he did. At 22 his game is amazing. Imagine if he keeps progress where his game will be at 25. His “bubble” is just starting to get bigger which is scary. Long on Luka, regardless of what the @influncers” have to say.

Quote from Cuban today:

“Unless it’s a game-changing star, I don’t see us doing anything at all,” Cuban said. “So, if someone decides they’re blowing it up, OK, we’ll talk to anybody about any great player. If it’s just ‘We’ll trade this guy for that guy’ and it’s not really going to move the needle, I’d rather go with continuity.”

RogerGodahell · 03-16-2021, 04:48 PM

Cuban and Donnie fell in love with Porzinigis again over the last 2 games and convinced themselves he will always play like that. So there's no need to trade for anyone. And Rick is in love with DFS he thinks he's a 1st team defensive all-nba player. They value some of their own players too much and don't think they need to add anyone else. I think they're a little too optimistic with what they have for talent besides Luka on this team. That's my guess.

grindnation · 03-16-2021, 11:32 PM

Anyone have any idea what a 2019 Crusade Bronze Parallel Luka Doncic would be worth? i cannot find any comps my flat mate pulled it but seems to not have any sold that i can find.

Im guessing that they may have had a sit down with Prozingis and told him that he needs to start playing more in the paint and shooting less 3s. Over the last handful of games he has been playing A LOT more in the paint and down low which he should have been doing to begin with. I think this has had a big impact and contributing to the move up the standings. I hope this keeps up.

KhalDrogo · 03-17-2021, 06:18 AM

Porzingis has looked good on both ends lately. Defense is still crap, but he's not killing them out there anymore. Regardless, they still need something. Thaddeus Young or Aaron Gordon would be nice in a dream.

Onepocketj · 03-17-2021, 08:33 PM

Luka time!

RogerGodahell · 03-17-2021, 09:02 PM

They ain't gonna take that one away

KhalDrogo · 03-17-2021, 09:09 PM

Garbage first quarter from Brunson. Holy cow that hurt.

Onepocketj · 03-17-2021, 09:09 PM

Well they aren't going to get the calls so they better lose that strategy
