Nice to see that now with Shaquille O’Neal being inked to a contract with the TNT crew they will be sticking together no matter what else happens. I’m glad. Ernie Johnson is a legend and that’s the best sports show on TV. Allowing them to break up over parent company issues would have been a shame. Glad it didn’t happen.

They might be lucky but they have some star in the making in the form of Max. They've probably won the trade with that and everyone just have to move on with Luka being out of the team. As of the moment, the team is currently at the top 8 rankings based on the standings that they have and I think that's just fine. Looking at their previous matches, it seems that they're able to make it close to the lead of the teams that have won against them. They're consistent.

He's provably a steal from that trade happen and I don't believe he can show same performance if he is on Lakers since that team is fully stacked before and he will just get less minutes. So lets see what's coming around with him if he can sustain he's performance or even build nice career on his current team. Hopefully Mavs will develop that young man to became lethal player in future.

This current Mavs line up is showing good potential and let see if they can continue on their win streak since provably fans might forget about those sadden Luka trade they made if they can justified their actions done then successfully go to playoffs.

The Mavs right now have a staggering amount of problems, it's gonna be hard for a push. Davis got hurt in the first game for the Mavs  and they also have plenty of other injuries at the moment. Gonna be a tough road to make the playoffs if you ask me.
The other obvious problem for them right now is the growing disconnect between the front office and the fan base, for obvious reason. People get escorted out of the arena in home games when they shout "Fire Nico" or even hold op signs saying the same. That's of course ridiculous and this whole situation is just embarrassing for the whole league. I actually believe these conspiracy theories that the owners want to pressure the league because of their betting empire agenda, also with the whole move to Las Vegas thing. That's the only story that actually makes sense.

Well deserved. Shaq is a charismatic guy, and it has always been fun to watch the show with their quartet. It's noteworthy that this salary is much higher than Shaq got in his last season in the NBA. And what's more, most current NBA players make significantly less than that, considering the median salary in the NBA is only $5 million.

Maybe it was not really their plan all along when they acquire Kyrie before. But as their relationship with Luka deteriorated, this could be the idea that Nico has in mind.  That he can still build his team around Kyrie and then they have Klay as well. So adding AD will not change the team and maybe change for the better.

Unfortunately, they have a lot of injured players though, including AD, so the plan might not go into full swing for now as the missing pieces is not there. Although they are deep and can still win games, but maybe against a top tier team, it might be a different story.

With their current roster they have they can now focus to make their offense fast by help of Kyrie and we can see that he's contributing big points for their team and so far they are winning in their games.

What Mavs really need is to make sure that they are healthy since even if Luka is out on their team they can still be considered as title contender team especially if AD would be more available on their roster. Lets see what's coming around with them and how Mavs could adjust and create good system for their team. Also for sure fans are curious to know if they can able to reach what they achieve last season.

lol man, ya'll see Shaq in their last time doing their show on TNT?  Dropping F bombs, not giving a f..that show is truly unlike nothing else ,ever.  The only other basketball show in my lifetime that even came close, and you gotta be oldish is Ahmad Rashad Inside the NBA..that show was pretty fn epic too, at least for it's time.  I got really scared though and thought that their show was being cancelled period..thank god it's not. 

Ya know props to the NBA for at least trying.. Adam Silver is solid, and cares (direct shot at MLB commish, fn idiot) this All star weekend probably will suck balls across the board but it has been for years now.  MF G league player has won the last two dunk contests.  Gone are the days of stars doing like MJ and the undisputed best dunker in NBA history, Sir Vince Carter. 

I always bet the all star game, I don't think I will this year.

100% on the jerseys ...I mean how epic is that 10 second clip of MJ vs Shaq one on one in warm ups.  Shaq in the sweet blue and black, Michael in the red...that was peak NBA right there.  Shaq shook his ass lol.

There are plenty of guys who can dunk better than NBA players that don't paly professional basketball, don't enjoy watching them, wont enjoy watching a G leaguer win his third in a row (turning it one now, thanks for heads up.  Shit Michigan State vs IL.IL being my team ( well Southern IL the Salukis, who i know you more likely than not remember their run back in the early 2000's when I was going to school there..6 strait tourney bids, 2 sweet 16's..we were THE mid major.  I remember sitting in the Library on campus on Monday when the rankings came out each week just filled with joy seeing us climb ..I think we got up 15ish.  This was the same time Kyle Korver was on Creighton who was in the MVC then as well as Wichita State was in the MVC. Since they didn't have football teams they fled for better waters and now after being there during that, school had enrollment of 22kish..it's at 9k.  The new portal rules and NIL assure we will never ever be good again.  Domask was our best player in recent years, ended up on the Illini team and balling out in the tourney, then you got Lance Jones, who played on Purdue last year and in the Championship game, he went to SIU for 4 years.  They also stole our coach.  You know I'm a Bulls fan...see how shit my basketball is going for me these days lol

actually feeling this song/beat. Tweaker/ Gelo thank god for shazam.
