Mavs .5 game out of playoffs, chose to tank to maybe keep a fringe top 10 pick

[GoldenGlove]

I don't even get how the Bulls defensive splits are what they are. Seems like every game somebody is going off from 3 against them. JaVale McGee has 14 career 3s in over 800 NBA games.

Can't make this shyt up.

 

[Pressure]

If they win after this bullshyt

Hardy with a half-court 3 to end the half...

If they win after this bullshyt

Brings up a good point. If they hold on and win this game… Memphis has nothing to play for and will sit everyone vs OKC anyway… but what if they win by some miracle making the Spurs/Mavs game a win and in? Do they sit everyone and attempt to throw the game?

Bruh they even holding back jaden Hardy he’s played 16 minutes

And they still bout win

That’s not a ‘miracle’, as this game should show. It’s an nba roster you can’t sit ‘everyone’. Memphis is deep tyus Jones and Xavier Tillman can absolutely bust OKC ass.

And if there’s any team someone’s G leaders can beat, it’s SA

So let me get this straight they’ve had epic battles with the clippers where Luka has outplayed Kawhi and PG, they were 20 games better than the 3 seed kings just a year ago, 30 games better than OKC, just 4 games back of Memphis, 1 game behind the eventual champ GS, they added kyrie Irving…but you’re telling me their generational superstar Luka is over there thinking ‘yea we got no shot let’s get this draft pick’. Yea ok

This team is not good.

They are 10/11 for a reason. You will survive.

 

[Shadow King]

That Trae-Luka trade is the most discussed star for star move in recent memory and it’s amounted to two conference final flame outs and two guys who are going to be on their 3rd head coach?

They are each in Year 5 and both overachieved by reaching the Conference Finals in the first place.

May the basketball gods bless the Chicago bulls tonight

Not today Satan

OKC’s A team losing an elimination game at home vs Memphis’ backups and third stringers with zero motivation would be an absolute miracle.

It’s not gonna matter since Dallas totally quit in the 4th quarter

 

[firemanBk]

What the Mavericks are doing is gross and should be punishable by fine
It's one thing to sit starters and then pull Luka after a quarter.
They sat Javale McGee super early cause he was cooking them and then they pulled Jaden Hardy at the half from the game cause they're afraid he's too good
Sitting starters is weak
Blatantly benching guys who are playing well for scrubs is fukked up

 

[Surreal]

Looks like the Bulls are gonna pull this one out

The grizzlies went from 30 to 50 wins, thr kings as well. That lazy ass ‘they’re not good’ is outdated in todays game, especially when you have Luka and kyrie….hell they made the WCF last year

 

[CHICAGO]

WHEN THAT LEAD GOT BIG
CUBAN TOLD THOSE BENCH PLAYERS
YALL SURE YALL
WANNA DO THIS?
