Game Thread: Dallas Mavericks vs Memphis Grizzlies (Summer League Game 2)


Didn't see a game thread, so here it is. Not sure if there's a word count, so just to be safe I'm going to copy and paste the lyrics to Eminem & 2Chainz's "Kyrie & Luka" directly from Genius.

[Intro: 2 Chainz]
A.T.L.​
What's up, shawty?
N.Y.C.​
Yo-yo-yo, kid
D-Town, what up doe?
Tony!

[Verse 1: 2 Chainz & Eminem]
Standin' on the speaker, tall as Burj Khalifa
Powder on the plate that turn your girl into Eureka
Remember, if I don't see it, then I don't believe it
I done did some pretty dumb things on the tequila
Birthday in Vegas, layin' with my weezy
Asked to invite her friends, she like, "Boy, I don't believe ya"
I'm just tryna live and they turn into evil
My partner is a Crip, the only thing he eat is seafood
School of hard knocks, I can fuck around and teach you (Uh)
License to kill and I just got 'em rеnewed (Uh)
Spoke to Dеf Jam and they talkin' 'bout a renote
Spoke to Ghazi, he can pay me in crypto (Yeah)
Bored Ape Yacht Club, yeah, I'm Ricky Steamboat
And you know my vibe, I'm mixin' mine with the pinot
I say scratch that, gone and bring it back like Preemo
You know my set, I'm throwin' dollar signs
I lick her neck and turn the body to a water slide
I'm in the bottom of my bag like some hot fries
Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony, that my top five, shit
Don't want me swaggin' on this beat
Enough to make Rakim proud of me
You got my math and your bitch ass post somethin' negative, you coulda called me
I'm from the dark side, but the whip lightskin
I do what I wanna do like white men
I hit you in the fuckin' head with the mic stand
I fuck my girl in the daytime on a nightstand
You ain't know that, did ya?
Real recognize real and you don't look familiar
I'm from Riverdale Road, we ain't got no river
Got the pole concealed behind the partition, listen
A trap nigga, I perform at bar mitzvah
I ain't gon' fight, but I still tote pistols
Ain't gon' kill ya, all I got to do is whistle
*Failed whistle noise*, damn, I think my whistle off (Off)
They've been plagiarisin', they've been stealin' sauce (Sauce)
Soon as I see 'em, I'ma pick 'em off
I got a beard, but I must ask Ricky Ross (Huh?)
God took his time with me
Kingpins wanna sign with me
Gunshots is truly Atlanta
I got this shit lit, no need for a candle
Just like Kyrie, I got this shit handled (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Eminem]
Walkin' around your party, like where the party at? (Yo, where the party at?)
Yeah, Bacardí and 'Gnac could lead to a cardiac
Headache, an Aleve, I'ma need eight of 'em (Woah)
For pete's sake, I've been steppin' on leaf rakes again (Ow)
I keep wakin' up in the bed with complete strangers (The fuck are you?)
And I eat pretzels and get more chicks than Pete Davidson
Man, I can't help it, I'm me, I got the devil in me
Let me put it more delicately (Yeah)
Fuck your feelings, I'm a felon, pussy, you're jealous of me
Prolly 'cause my cerebellum's a parabellum, pussy
Even if I swear to celibacy, I'd still be like a female that's hooking (Why?)
Yeah, warped mind, your rhymes
But as long as a nine-year-old's mind is washable
I'ma search 'til I find the most awfullest line as possible (Yeah)
Mind is off, all I need is a small little pint of vodka
To be talked into tryna walk up inside of a Shriner's hospital and (*Gunfire*)
They're tryna make Marshall the guy responsible
For little Joshua's giant arsenal
Like I'm also the reason his .9 is cocked and he brought his tool
And decides to hide it inside of his locker 'til the next time he's picked on at school
But you're out of your gourd if you're thinkin' that I ain't killin' this beat
I'm not even forcin' myself to vomit, but if I had a fuckin' eating disorder
Man, I'm beyond childish (Bitch)
When I'm on Valiums (Yeah)
Just like mom downs 'em
'Cause she hands me some, then says, "C'mon, chow, son
These are non-drowsen, I mean non-drowsy
But they'll help you calm down some,"
So, before I zonk out, I'm tryna make Rob proud
I'm hopin' this song riles him
I pop like nine thousand, I'm outy, five-thousand (Oh)
Hold up (One more thing)

  1. About time. Dallas is being run off the floor right now. I don’t see anyone on this team who can crack the 15.

  2. These are bad players in general, but even still this looks really bad for Dudley.

  3. OMAX has no dribble moves, and isn’t playing very good defense… Brandon Williams cannot bring the ball up against summer leaguers, and Lawson can’t make a free throw to save his life… very disappointing so far

  4. I said some good stuff about some of these players last game. I think I might have been wrong

  5. Wtf am I watching rn. We might have one of the worst summer league teams LMAO

  6. OMax looks like a cow on the ice. Everything he does looks rushed and out of control

  7. Almost made a post myself just to say…

    OMAX looks like total garbage! And not in a “don’t judge this cause it’s just summer league”. No, I mean he can’t do anything at a NBA level. I will be STUNNED if he contributes in a meaningful way this year. Yes, doomer mode: activated

  8. Do I regret my OMax hype? No.

    Do I feel like I set myself up for disappointment? Probably.

  9. Lawson needs to be waived. bad on offense and can’t defend. dude has been on the league for a while and is absolute cheeks

  10. Remember that one year Josh skipped summer league and just spent the whole offseason working on his game. I’m starting to think OMax should have done the same. We are not gonna learn if he can contribute based on this. If he ever gets rotation minutes this year, we are not going to be asking him to create for himself like he is doing against this terrible spacing. Remember how awful Hardy looked his 2 summer leagues.

  11. All of these bums need to go and find an honest 8-16h job, cause this was literally the worst 10 minutes of “professional” basketball I have seen in my entire life

  12. With how Nico is talking I don’t know if Lawson is on this team for very long lol

  13. Omax can hit an open 3. Shot 42% in g league and not purely corner 3s. Just needs somebody to set him up and this team lacks that.

  14. omax shows some flashes but summer league never looks fluid since everyone is trying out to make a spot vs trying to win.
