That’s not picking on him. 98% of us have been screaming that for years.

It kinda puts into perspective how good and talented MJ and Kobe were. Those guys would probably have had 20 points at the half in a game like this, or more, unlike Shai's 10 points and Kyrie's 7 points.

Pretty good first half. Up 10. I’ll take that.

Washington with INCREDIBLE defense, and Gafford looking better around the rim.

DJJ with a great game but this is the third time that he gives up the offensive board.

Pj with another great defensive possession and another man style rebound.
And there are STILL dummies who don’t get why he’s good.

The defense is BALLING. They’re treating Joe like he’s Giddey. So far, so good.

We all get how good he is. But it was a dumb 3rd foul and then he threw the ball away. Partly Kai fault, of course.

Dallas has to convert some of these OKC misses into points.
Feels like they’re matching miss for miss.

Green can’t create off the dribble but is good if you can get him on the move going to the rim. His passing really stands out there. If he could develop a little floater.
Let’s see how he guards SHA here. Seems like SGA can get to his places on the floor against him.

Who is a PJ-like SG/SF that Mavs can trade for or sign in the off-season? Seriously, I want a slightly smaller PJ clone at SG/SF.
Aaron Wiggins is the closest I can see who should be easily AND cheaply available.

Any possession that doesn't end up with _osh Green shooting is a good possession. They need to keep letting him drive and pass...he's a connector and that's when he's at his best. NOT when he's just standing still and throwing up threes
