[RoyTarpleysGhost]

They really traded for Wood with no expectation of him being here next year lmfaoooooooooooo

Mark Cuban is extremely cash poor right now (for a billionaire).

He can get cash rich pretty quickly!

I don’t buy the Cuban won’t spend narrative. The Cuban is an idiot narrative is much more likely.

Could it be that nobody worth paying big money to actually wants to play here?

Dangit!

I sure wish they'd paid Dwight, Trey, and Salah more during those years.

Had to bump this up to the front.  Good call...

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Layup parade for okc to start the game.

[KillerLeft]

I like Powell’s defense so much more than McGee’s it’s ridiculous. A couple of possessions ago he cut off three drives from three different people within a 15 second span.

[dirkfansince1998]

Early in the season but it feels like Bullock has lost a step on defense.

[Jym]

Am I really supposed to believe that Wood would make this defense worse?

[dirkfansince1998]

Same for DFS. Giving up easy penetration. At least DFS has the length to recover. Good block.

[cow]

God King is faster than ever.

[dirkfansince1998]

SGA is getting whatever he wants. Lets see if Josh Green can stay in front of him.

God King is faster than ever.

On the bench because Kidd wants to try something different against SGA...

[cow]

On the bench because Kidd wants to try something different against SGA...

Kidd continues to be awful this season.

[dirkfansince1998]

4 offensive foul calls against the Mavs. Once again beating themself with unforced errors.

[KillerLeft]

This is too much Luka on offense.
