    This is a little too jokey for a serious thread, but I'll allow it.

    No not at all. The fact that they are winning without him shows they are legit and will be a tough out for any team. Fully healthy, in a playoff series, this Mavs team will present insane mismatches. They have an overgrown kid wonder who can do anything and a 7’3” unicorn who can shoot, finish, and block shots... they are forreal.

    I think that most teams that have many quality veterans are sometimes better without someone who's not yet legally permitted to consume alcohol.

    *Posts a dumb knee-jerk question

    *Reminds others this is a serious discussion

    those two can't coexist

    Dallas is no joke and will be a serious threat in the playoffs. They have gotten better and better. Some may laugh, but in a seven game series they have a chance against anybody.

    Just a quick reminder to stay on topic -- personal attacks will no be tolerated.

    You can attack non rockets fans like LOFs,
    People who question Hakeem or the Clutch City championships, and trolls with multiple accounts

    Mark Cuban hasn’t lowballed him like Les Alexander did Rick Adelman

    The question is how Vlade didn’t draft Luka or Trae Young and Bagley being a super bust

    Not a Mavs "fan," just an observer of basketball, AND the Mavs are the only team I can get on TV after Less sold out the fans with the Comcrap deal. They have improved significantly thru the season and will be a force in the playoffs. Just wait and see.

    Cuban has been a better owner than both Rockets owners, post Charlie Thomas

    He inherited a terrible situation and turned it around

    If situations were reversed, I'm sure Les would have fired Rick Carlisle or done that dirtbag thing where Les gave Rick Adelman a much lower contract if he resigned, so Rick would be insulted and leave

    What a dirtbag

    And yes, Barkley got stiffed 3 million dollars. All of us fans from that era knew Barkley signed for the NBA MINIMUM so the Rockets can have cap space and that Les would pay him at the backend of his contract for his sacrifice

    But Les never did and Barkley has been on TNT for 20 years talking to millions of people about how the Rockets screwed him

    Allegedly Carlisle was an ahole to a lot of role players.

    Luka wanted him out.
