Is it? I had this game circled for months and forgot it was on until I got a score alert. I feel nothing.

Man I was hype for that game. This fucking sucks 

Sorry it hurts you guys.  It is devastating.

 

But I'm sorry that was a GREAT win and i'm happy for it.  I'll never get over losing luka like that...it would have been better if he forced his way out.  But i gotta keep moving now.

Nah, I get what those guys are saying and have said the same shit and meant it. But I still love the players and it was Boston so I was all in. 

Saying fuck it and moving forward with a team owned and managed by these vile motherfuckers is battered wife shit.

I don't know what moving forward looks like.  I'll root for the players, for the team.  But I'll never root for Nico or the Adelsons* again.  

*unless definitive evidence shows it was a lone wolf decision on Nico's part.

 

There is a theory which started on the Bucks boards that Jason Kidd had more of an influence on moving on from Luka than he and Nico are admitting to.  According to the MIL fans, Kidd's player personnel mgt back then mirrored what's happening now- he only wanted and only played players who weren't defensive liabilities.  Ran several players out of MIL who he deemed were defensive liabilities.  It's why Jaden Hardy got zero minutes last night and zero minutes in Philly, getting slotted behind KESSLER EDWARDS.  The 27 minutes he played against Cleveland were maybe a showcase for a potential trade that didn't materialize.  I don't believe this theory. But it's out there.

That is interesting. The development of Hardy or lack thereof has been pretty bizarre though. I don't want him moved but I would be very interested to see what he would look like with a full season under a staff that has shown they can develop young talent.

Luka will thrive in LA. He might have been truthful about loving Dallas and spending his career with the Mavs but he does have an ego and his profile will be bigger in LA if he continues playing at a generational level.

Davis already hurt it seems. 

This is going to be Lamar Odom 2.0. AD has zero interest in being here and I don't blame him. Luka has no real interest in being in LA.

AD’s game today does not suggest he has zero interest in being here.

My kids at the game. He had fire Nico on his Luka jersey. Security made him take it off. He said out front was packed with folks chanting. But inside is deafening

pretty much. 

I guess I was glad they won yesterday. Max Christie is really good and has huge upside. Anthony Davis is a top 10 player. Once Lively and PJ are back, that's the best frontcourt in the league and I think the Mavs are a legit title contender who can go 10 deep if everyone is healthy for the playoffs. 


I don't really care though. I like these players but this doesn't feel like the organization that I loved for 45 years.

Seems like they didn't let any signs in to the stadium.  A blanket X on any negative statements against the owners or Nico.

Bitchass chickenshit

I’m just waiting for Nico and Dumont to release a statement blaming Mavs fans for rushing AD back when playing him 30+ minutes coming off an injury was always a wild decision.
