  5. This game was decided at the start of the 4th. Down 2, with the momentum and JDub not rolling yet, Daigneault should've left SGA in to secure the lead before getting him a breather. That Dallas run sunk.

  8. Rylan had me cracking up! "How do you think Pelicans fans felt when without fail Josh Giddey would walk into their bldg, make & ham & cheese sandwich & throw the wrapper on the floor". LMAO…(I'm laughing on a Mon morning after a painful loss to Dallas.. Quite the achievement)

  10. As a more casual Thunder fan following the team I can comfortably say this loss is nothing to be concerned about. Lose at home to Dallas fully healthy even if they have Luka? You need to look hard at that. But lose by two points playing uphill with Chet, iHart, Caruso, and JW out? C'mon now, lol. Two seven footers, a defensive ace 1-4, and a young 6'9 JW? All of which would have seen GOOD minutes in this game? Hey…I know there are no excuses in basketball. But legit reasons? Of course. Thats four main guys right there that together would have changed the complexion of this game. Chet's loss is big but the defense is good enough to cover for AC to some extent. Just like it would be good enough to cover for Wiggins, Dort, Cason. But you cannot make up for Chet, iHart, and JW as readily. Making up for one and another is difficult enough much less all three. And AC out, too? Expect very good things with two of three bigs back and an easier path forward. Even iHart alone would have made a big difference last night. Possibly huge, even. This team is NOT near fully healthy and missing the toughest guys to replace. True seven footers. Its only a matter of time…

  12. You might say this loss wasn’t bad but it really was, even no center getting out rebounded by near 20, even with all small ball is awful! I’m not necessarily talking about right at the rim, it’s hard for us to match gaford and lively, I’m talking about those shots that fly out to perimeter where our guys just stood there and watched it. If we don’t rebound we can’t win the games that matter

  17. They really wanted this win. That's the best I've ever seen Dallas play even with Doncic. PJ scorched us. He was zoned in like he's been preparing this for a year. Wait until he meets Hartenstein and Caruso with Chet roaming from the weak. We were at a huge disadvantage and they took advantage. What SGA did was GOAT like. Us losing by 2 is a win imo. No way PJ can repeat the same performance with us at full strength.

  21. Rylans racking up the interactions and views from Mavs fans taking mad rubbish when their team as of right now is out of the playoff picture is hilarious.
