    Dallas were starting no PGs and only 1 guard.......and had only 3 Turnovers in 24 minutes.

    Kings are seriously the embarrassment of the Western conference.

    They are making Mavs look a lot better than they actually are.

    Sabonis is and always will be a fraud. He does not deserve any awards over Sengun.

    Yup, Kings seem to be pretty soft.

    Dallas are also shooting ligths out.

    Memphis is missing Jaylen Wells next game.

    SAC won every quarter except one when Klay scored 16.

    Hopefully he took some of Warriors' magic along with him.

    No Kyrie too.... shame on the Rockets for losing multiple times to SAC -- although I think Irving is a loser overall.

    Oh yeah, f*** Dallas

    Warriors had the only close game in these play-ins.

    So they're the worst winner, right ???

    Probably Memphis was the best loser.

    May the Lord bestow an evenly officiated series.

    I Usually wake up between 4 AM and 5 AM. So these late games actually help me to watch them live, before the Kids wake up :).

    Although I prefer not watching live so I can skip through time outs.

    I just realized Kings made the OG Luka Doncic trade when they traded Haliburton for Sabonis.

    Now I remember Haliburton also said he wanted to stay in Sac.

    This is a cautionary tale you dont trade young studs who want to grow old on the team for old players. Both Mavs and Sacramento took for granted what they had and now they are paying for it.

    I think this is more of an ego trip for young GMs and just like that they bet on the wrong horses, then they make the 2nd mistake again and trade away Fox, the guy that they should have traded the first time in a worse make up trade......

    Yeah doubling down is always a mistake. Like when the Wolves GM made a mistake trading for Gobert, and then he doubled down by trading Kat instead lol.

    I actually expect Nico to be the most desperate to get KD. Although tbf Irving, AD and KD would def be contenders on paper.

    Tyler Herro looks like he would sound like Paul Wall.
