We just handled the Clippers in 6 with Luka never getting on track
The trade for Kyrie, drafting of Lively and this season’s acquisition in PJ and Gafford really solidified Mavs as a huge threat. This roster is lock n loaded.
Dangerous Dallas Baby
LET IT RIDE!
I’m going to ask the producer to pipe this into the Clippers locker room so I can talk to you James. I hope you’re taking notes. I’m telling you in advance, you’re welcome, for the wisdom I’m about to spew. Because listen, I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you. You wanted a certain coach, they brought in Mike D’Antoni. You wanted to play a certain style, they played it. You wanted Dwight Howard, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. You wanted Chris Paul, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. They brought in your old friend Russell Westbrook. You want to go to Vegas on off days? They looked away. You wanted the team to stay over so you could go out at night, they changed the schedule—and it didn’t work.
And you know what, you said I’m gonna break up with my woobie, not good enough. I see the bright lights of New York. I want to go there. My old pal Kevin Durant. It’s gonna work, the big three—and all after one year you wanted out. You realized, “oh my gosh! I took this guy for granted, the guy that believed in me. I want back with Daryl Morey.” They traded Ben Simmons for you—how did they pull that off?
And you know what? You went there, and you got a partner who got the MVP. He won the MVP, and what did you say afterwards? You said, “they didn’t hand me the reins.” You’re the point guard! You were holding the reins! And what did you do when you had the reins? You scored 9 points in Game 7 against Boston, you blew a 3-2 series lead. So they fired their coach, not good enough. You broke up with the guy that believed in you again, you said “the bright lights of LA! That’s where I want to go! Let’s see if that works.”
Listen James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates? Over and over they complained about their bad roommates: “this guy’s terrible,” “the bad roommate here,” they never thought to be self aware enough that THEY’RE the bad roommate! They’re the problem! Hey James, YOU’RE the PROBLEM! If this doesn’t work this year, in this system, with this team, then you’re gonna go and point fingers at everybody else and then you’re gonna go back home and you’re gonna start swiping right for another team, and there’s not gonna be anyone left. Because James, you’re not the beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.
That was painful but we made it!
We vanquished the Clippers! They always say, third time is a charm! Go Mavs!
I have a 2011″ erection right now.
#IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE, YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE
THE BEAST IS SLAIN!!! ON TO ROUND 2!!!
THE KING IN THE FORTH
Let’s go Mavs!!!!! Finally over the clippers. Love it
Dallas to Cancun!
With 2 games won at least they avoid drinking soda with Zion in Galveston. And having a direct flight to Cancun also helps. I guess the flight crew will also let Balmer sit with the captain in the cockpit for a couple of minutes.
LET’S GO MAVS!
KYRIE FREAKIN’ IRVING! LET’S GO!
Fuck the Clippers and let’s go Mavs!
First flight out of DFW to Cancun leaves at 5:15am; they can head straight to the airport
God. Fucking. Damn. That felt good!
Life like this sure if sweet huh
seeing stats that end in “since 2011” makes me feel some type of way for this team 🥹

Nice finally a win against those generic lakers
On to OKC let’s goooooo
Its 7:30 am in Türkiye, best playoff game this season.
It was amazing team effort.
Kai, you are my favorite player ever, thank you for great show.
Sending love from Türkiye, May The 4th Be With You
See you at OKC game
Kyrie tonight:
30 PTS (28 in 2nd half)
5 3PM
4 STOCKS
11-19 FG
Kyrie never lost a closeout game.
Hopefully Kleber is good man.
Should we be worried about Luka’s knee 🙁
Slightly worried that Luka aggravated his injury or looks reaaaally hurt hobbling a little bit
