GAME 28: DAL (19-9) @ PHI (20-10) | 117-98 win (Mavs 11-2 on the road)

Dude. I love Tingus Pingus.

What are you guys earning without Luka right now? 

"What we already know. We have a deep bench that gives us something every night." 

And notice how he took zero credit. Gave it all up to his team mates. Dude dropped 22 and 18 with 3 emphatic blocks and DPOY defense and he raved about his team mate.

And he signed a fan's jersey on the way back to the locker room. KP is a man of the fans. 

Good dude plus a winning team works wonders.  He probably had his doubts about Dallas when he was traded, or rather probably preferred a different destination, but hopefully that is a distant memory.

Everybody talks about the Bucks or the sixers coming out of the East,  but my suspicion right now is that it will be Boston.

If I were a gambling man, I'd go with the Heat.
