Wow watching this kings vs Celtics game and I just realized this is the type of team Dame deserves. How the hell did the small market team in Sacramento do it? Fuck man

By being in the lottery for a long time and having resources to trade for Sabonis.

The Kings have been bad for a VERY LONG TIME. The whole point of the lottery is to build up bad teams.

yeah, Aldo asks some really dumb questions. How did the Kings do it:

that's how. The Kings spent 15 straight years in the lottery clearly demonstrating that just having a bunch of lottery picks wasn't a guarantee of success. In fact, the King's spent most of that time failing, again and again and again. They hadn't won 40 games in a season since 2006

Wow, good for PG. The way that thigh went one way and his calf the other, looked like he popped his ACL for sure. A sprain is really good news for him and the Clips and while I don't like either, I don't want to see guys miss time with major injury.

Playoffs are in 3 weeks though. 4 years since the trade and no Finals appearance. I think they’ve won 3 playoff series total. Meanwhile OKC is making a playoff push already.

They were only drafting guards for awhile. They didn't make the best picks. Vlade wasn't a great GM.

I agree that team has never had the kind of on court leadership that’s needed to make a finals run let alone a championship.

They picked the wrong guards. They could’ve had Luka, Curry, or Lillard if they wanted.

Exactly. No wonder it took 13 years to get back to the playoffs.
 
The ref pretty clearly signals warriors ball then signals Mavs time out.

Talk about low bbiq. Why wouldn't you go to the ref with the ball?
 
coaches talk about court awareness all the time.

the fact is that no Mav players were on the end of the floor the ball was to be inbounded from. Even if it was their ball there should have been at least two Mav players at that baseline....but there weren't. Collective brainfart
 
So GP ll might play as soon as sunday. I hope when he's introduced at Moda, the fans stay absolutely silent. Indifferent to his presence. Like he never played for us. Oh, wait. Did he play for us?
 
Here is what I see.

Luka is blatantly fouled. That is worth complaining about.

Referee Andy Nagy clearly says the ball is off of Holiday, and motions that it is Golden State's ball.

Then I assume he motions that Dallas has called a timeout. Confusion ensues. Even the Golden State announcers are confused. Looney walks over to Nagy to find out what's going on, and I assume Nagy tells him it's Golden State ball.

Most importantly, Christian Wood walks over to Nagy and I can see Nagy's thumb in the direction of Golden State ball. Whether Wood was discussing who's ball it was, I'd think he would have noticed Nagy motioning his thumb backwards.

Andy Nagy didn't need to be corrected.

It was a bush league move by the refs.

But regardless, the ball went out at the right base line. Even if the Mavs thought it was their ball, they should have had at least 2 players on that end of the court.

Yeah if the refs job is to ensure that the playing field is neutral for both teams they would have communicated clearly to the Mavs that it was the Warriors ball before they let GS in bound when they saw the entire Dallas team going to the wrong side of the court.
 
If the Mavs miss the playoffs and Kyrie leaves…

What the hell are they gonna do?

At least they have Doncic for now.

Talk about a treadmill
 
How about not letting GSW kill you on the boards and in the paint? That is why they lost and not that insignificant possession.
