PLAYOFF BEASTMODE ACTIVATED!

Nurk doing work!

This off season, I want this team to work on starting off strong. I think we've had the slowest start to games since Dame was drafted this season. It's pathetic. If it's not bricking shots like this, it's turning the ball over.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Was just thinking the same thing. Swish3s are too. Really pumping sound outta the mic up there

It’s to drown out the sounds of sexual abuse allegations against Cuban.

 

[ripcityboy]

Nice one Nurk!

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk's baseline spin move is so fricken good. Aggressively backs down the defender to the point that the defender feels he has to put all his weight into Nurk to stop him from backing down under the rim, then Nurk uses the defenders weight against him on the spin move. Beautiful basketball.

 

[LuckyShot]

Did Nurk elbow that guy in the back and knock him half unconscious or did he just spin so fast that the guy lost his balance?

 

[Jade Falcon]

We struggle in low intensity games like this.

We struggle with SCRAPPY teams. Low win teams tend to be scrappy.

Can’t spell Scrappy without crappy.

 

[ripcityboy]

Man I wish Harkless was out there.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Are Barea and Dirk the only two left from the championship team?

FTFY

 

[LuckyShot]

I hate Barea so much.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I hate Barea so much.

He’d be a great backup PG... better than Bazz

 

[ripcityboy]

What is our draft pick seeded at right now.... 30?

 

[LuckyShot]

Dirk looks like he just showed up to take a bunch of 3s until it's time to take a seat on the bench.

 

[BonesJones]

I think we should post up Dame against Barea as an experiment.

 

[BonesJones]

What a catch by Nurkic.

 

[ripcityboy]

Barrea is such a pest.... literally.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

These teams tryna build a house with all these bricks?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It’s crazy that the Mavs have gone through Harris, D-Will, and Rondo at PG over the years and the only consistently decent one has been Barea lol

 

[Jade Falcon]

I had something I was going to say, but I forgot what it was. Something about Brick Coughington.

 

[riverman]

So far we're shooting 44% they are shooting 41%...

 

[joeBlazers]

J J Barea wants to get into a shootout. Like Ferrel did the other night ?

 

[LuckyShot]

Two 7 footers on the floor who would rather shoot 3s than post up.

 

[BonesJones]

Meyers needs to play great so that Dallas wants him to be their new Dirk.

 

[BonesJones]

Where's the Meyers Swish3 power scorer margin optimization metamorphose play?

 

[LuckyShot]

Dallas is painful to watch.

 

[The Professional Fan]

God Meyers is awkward with the ball. PAINFULLY SO

 

[ripcityboy]

Come on guys! Lets go!
