I thought they had a chance to be a playoff team pairing him with Porzingis, but no way did I see this monster jump from him. And yes, Dallas is playing legit ball, Carlisle is a really good coach, and that team is now balanced and legit. Mavs are a real feel good story this year. I am not really that surprised about Luka. The team yes. I kinda thought they could push .500 ball and be in the hunt for a low seed but come up just short. I think they are the most efficient or one of top effiecient offensive teams in the history of the NBA right now. It's early so would be hard to believe that would hold up. Who knows. It seems the depth of the West may be a myth this year after the top 6. Maybe some of the surprise underachievers get it going but maybe not. Helps that GS is taking a year off. didn't see that coming. Anyway Mavs clearly look top 6 and hopefully top 4. Not saying they would be favorites but I feel pretty good about them against any West team except the Clips right now. The supporting cast after KP and Luka has really come together for the Mavs. None of these guys complain about playing time or their roles. Team chemistry is off the charts. I was thrilled they got Porzingus but thought he was a loose cannon. Then came the off season accusations and incident back home at a night club. He is the complete opposite of what I thought personality wise. He gives such well thought answers in interviews and seems real laid back. Has even taken some of the blame for some of his actions handling the Knick situation. You could see some frustration in him as he has some bad shooting and scoring games but his defense is way better than I expected so he has contributed there big time. I'll really miss the season tix packages I split with friends when I lived in Dallas. Fair trade. Austin is just way better. I'll go see them in San Antonio just like Dirk's last game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's not a two superstar lineup..... Robinson was very much on the decline (and not really a superstar based on performance) and very much taking a back seat to Duncan when they one those two titles with the 99 one coming during a short 50 regular season. That season was an odd one with really teams full of aging players or future superstars not yet coming into their own in a post Jordan league. IMO, that was the year the Pacer's really should have broke through and won the championship. Everyone mentions the brawl year, but they were the clear favorite that year that just caught a Knicks team that caught fire beating the 1 seed Heat as an 8 seed (although their was a 6 game difference between the two due to the shortened season) riding it until the Finals where injures to Ewing and Larry Johnson were enough to do them in.

Hoosierhoopster Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Side note, in some thread I forget which someone commented about playing zone in the NBA and I responded not a lot of zone in the NBA. Well, last night Miami played zone almost the full game and downed the Sixers on the road. Pretty interesting to see and nice move by Spoelstra. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Pacers win again and now are 20-9 with a win against Sacramento. Had 7 in double figures which is happening a lot and Justin Holiday had 8 so close to 8 in double figures. Being a balance team is what is helping the Pacers to this record and I hope when VO comes back he won't think he has to score 25 a game. Since the 0-3 start the Pacers has the 3rd best record in the NBA. Edited December 21, 2019 by IU Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevens said they will start resting players starting around early January to mid February so I could see Romeo getting plenty of court time. Regarding Pacers. Start 0-3 and now 20-9 down a superstar. Not bad at all. Can't be more than a few teams who have gone 20-6 during that stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a solid deep team. If Vic comes back well i do think they’ll make some noise, regardless, well set up for next season. Side note - does anyone actually like auto-correct? Every time I type well it converts to we’ll and “does” goes to dies lol (and just now when I typed dies it converted to dues). 😑 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrasting the Dallas front office with the Knicks .... That is seriously going to be one of the worst trades in pro sports history. KP makes it inexcusable anyway, but hey, let's toss in Hardaway, Lee and Burke. All for a struggling 1st rounder, 2 1sts and cap space to sign a talented but me-first Kyrie and a guy who won't play for a year. Yeah...that makes sense.

KoB2011 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just to clear things up for everyone, Kyrie and KD are not on the Knicks. It was a bad trade made worse by the fact that they didn't even land their two targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
