For as much praise as KJ deservedly gets on defense, mostly on the perimeter, he picks up a cheap foul or two in the paint every game it seems. Probably answered my own question as he is out of his position and weight class down there. Need Udeh to shine tonight.

Plaschke with the splash-ke. The tweet appeared within hours of the news that the Lakers had not been able to pull off a trade for Kyrie Irving. The tweet was from LeBron James, who had openly campaigned for Irving despite overwhelming evidence he would be a bad fit. The tweet, as usual, was a passi...

Better off next year and the following years? Absolutely not. Having a long term contract on Brunson isn't better off than having a TON of cap space this offseason. We disagree. Cap space is the ballad of the loser. Look at the Chicago Bears. Hell even the Sixers who clutched to that for way too lo...

This team or Tennessee is the best team we've played all season.

But, the way this league is unfolding and the oddsmakers are having me think we will win a close one.

Will need at least mid 20's from Jalen. Obviously Gradey needs to soften the blow of the freshman wall.

Makes it a hell of a lot easier to root for Jacque Vaughn.

I think Dajuan and the team cleans it up. Dajuan averages 1 more TO per game on the road than at home. Hunter and Carr are great on defense, though. But need Jalen to stay hot as they'll likely have a guy that can match him on height and athleticism. And then the aforementioned rebounding battle. We...

With a Matchup Quality of 97.7 (fifth best this season), tonight's clash between Texas and Kansas (9 p.m. ET, ESPN) is one you won't want to miss. Two of the top teams in men's college basketball all season long, the Longhorns and Jayhawks are currently ranked sixth and 13th, respectively, by ESPN A...

Our chances at the league crown might end tonight, but otherwise, we're going to end up where most thought we would be: that 2 seed line, maybe 3 if things go further south. Get a good draw and who knows?

My worthless 2 cents.... They knew what they had with Brunson and what he was capable of. A very good player with a nice looking future. They chose to let him move on and leave salary room for a better player. I agree "they don't get a pass" but what a guy does on a different team really ...

Texas looked like the best team in the country pre-choke (literal choke).

That's what he's averaging this season on a different team. 26 million is a lot of money and they probably felt Dinwiddle was just as good for less money. I'm not so sure I agree that was dumb. Maybe. Now they have neither but do have a more expensive player who happens to be the Alex Jones of the ...

Probably the first or second best guard unit in the league. Dajuan has to bounce back.

They are also long and athletic so defensive rebounding will be huge.

Spread seems high, but the building gives us a shot.

Brunson started every playoff game and averaged 22 and 4 while doing so.

This is just pure contrarianism.

Also: the mavs were hardly a lock to be a playoff team prior to the trade. *i don't count the play ins as playoffs* Warriors Pelicans and Lakers will likely pass them as they get healthy (if they get healthy). Portland looking better lately. Minnesota hasn't had KAT and Gobert has been hurt off and...

It's a half season rental that makes them better this season and gives them significant flexibility this off season to make a big signing to pair with Luka and Wood. They aren't contenders in the west prior to the trade anyway. I still think it's a super weird fit for a half season rental. I don't ...

Kyrie is an free agent after this season. That's an asset for Dallas. By asset you mean they’re going to be left with nothing including now not having their draft picks, sure! Having available cap space is an asset. Oh you’re saying it was a salary dump. Right. Lol. Usually when you have one of the...

The reactions here suggest you nailed this one.

Still not sure he was worth the price tag. It’s a bargain compared to what they just paid Kyrie. Only way it doesn’t look terrible for Mavs is if Jalen’s father and the rest of Jalen’s camp mandated a move to NYC. Kyrie is an free agent after this season. That's an asset for Dallas. By asset you me...

Jalen Brunson is averaging 23 pts and 6 assists on 47% shooting and 40% from 3. Mavs r dumb. That's what he's averaging this season on a different team. 26 million is a lot of money and they probably felt Dinwiddle was just as good for less money. I'm not so sure I agree that was dumb. Maybe. Now t...
