Around the NBA 2022 Playoffs: The Thread (1 Viewer)

[Predator]

few years ago Dallas had nothing. got lots of assets through good trades got Donic and now back in the western finals. I wish we could have a rebuild like that but we gave away our assets for nothing.

The Mavs also benefited from the Hawks being incredibly stupid.

As well as the Suns and Kings.

Luka was the clear #1 pick that year and the Mavs got him for the 5th pick and change.

So what you’re essentially wishing for is us to get the 5th pick, then have the clear #1 pick drop to #3, and have the team at 3 trade us that pick for #5 and a future 1st.

The Mavs got lucky and were fortunate to have the 5th pick as well. Not much to do with good assets.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Mavs only have 4 players who have made more than 1 shot. Crazy. And Suns have 9.
Suns have basically been buried by 2 players- Dinwiddie and Luka.

Reminder: Booker finished higher in MVP voting than Luka

Ime and Kidd, good enough to get to the conference finals in their first year, but not good enough to land an interview from Olshey. (note: I still don't want Kidd)

Pens/Rangers game is going to OT.

Suns already talking trade for Dame LOL

Suns already talking trade for Dame LOL

CP3 for Dame? rotflmao

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Chris Paul has lost an all time NBA record 7 consecutive Game 7s.

 

[Chris Craig]

Suns already talking trade for Dame LOL

For fucking what?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We might have a third Dallas/Miami Finals.

 

[Chris Craig]

We might have a 3rd Dallas/Miami Finals.

No.

Warriors will win the championship

 

[Predator]

They can have Dame for Booker, Bridges and 10 first round picks


Or Simons for Booker

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Chris Paul says he’s ‘addicted’ to playing in the NBA Finals “Now that I’ve got a taste of what that experience is like, I’m sort of addicted.”

Way to overcome your addition, Chris.

 

[Chris Craig]

Now the NBA about to treat the Mavericks like they don't exist against the Warriors.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Chris Paul hits a huge three to cut the lead down to 42

If Ayton becomes available, we need to be on the lookout

 

[RipCity4Life0]

Dame Liked this tweet it’s probably nothing though.

Ayton would be great here, but my goodness.....he was the Invisible Man in Game 7. That isn't exactly a great strategy for getting paid.

 

[Freshtown]

Dame Liked this tweet it’s probably nothing though.

what would you trade for Ayton in a sign and trade?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I think Luka can take Steph. Should be a fun series. Luka is Top 5 all time when his career is over.

Warriors in 6!

 

[BigGameDamian]

 

[Pinwheel1]

How the hell did Phoenix lose that series? 27 points in the first half of a game 7 at home against a very average defensive team!
That was a choke job.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Man…had Dame and the guys stayed healthy we might have had a chance this year.

 

[wizenheimer]

Luka is the truth. Do you guys think Dallas makes the WCF with Dame as their PG rather than Luka?

yeah, good point....Dame has never played in the WCF

 

[TBpup]

yeah, good point....Dame has never played in the WCF

....well, never won a game. Let's see how Luka does. He doesn't exactly have a 2nd all-star with him either.

Both of last year's Finalists blown out on the same day in Game 7's? Weird.

 

[DDolla]

Damn, The Mavs fans don’t even care that they have a coach who used to abuse his wife. Looks like winning is everything .

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The last 5 teams with the best record in the league have failed to reach the NBA Finals. The last three didn't even make it to the conference finals.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Damn, The Mavs fans don’t even care that they have a coach who used to abuse his wife. Looks like winning is everything .

What he did was horrible but should he never be able to work again for the rest of his life? Forgiveness. Redemption.

Finals were July last year. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
