Bogi might be the most clutch shooter in the league. All the “stars” are in their feelings too much.

I don't like the Clippers so I find myself supporting the Mavericks.

I can see LeBron telling him not to take another job because he's Vogel's replacement. Its just a matter of when LeBron fires Vogel.

I was thinking something like this but it's not Vogel's fault Anthony Davis couldn't play.

Happening alot nowadays. But, these players get to decide these things in this era. Especially the bigger star you are..... doctors be damned. Good for them though imo... Just don't play the blame game if your reinjure after the fact.

The NBA owners want to make as much money as possible but in the next CBA they need to try to take some control back.

In these superstar teams built for a championship, not so much the 76ers, the stars feel a lot of pressure to produce in the playoffs. The players probably even have their own doctors.

Could well be. But the way he left New Jersey tells us a lot about his character IMO so given his history I can't see him taking over a team that isn't likely to be a true contender.

This is Luka’s MJ series against the Cavs back in 1989. He’s doing this totally alone. Does he have enough stamina to keep them in the entire game and hit a game winner like MJ did over Ehlo?

I think Clippers are going to win this.

Unless somehow Marjanovic's ears take over the game.

Doncic is a warrior but he is sadly in need of help. Hardaway Jr. is only shooting 1-6.

Mavs need to suit Dirk back up. He would be of more help.

Mavwrecks are a pretty bad defensive team.

Clippers are a pretty bad rebounding team.

The Mavericks have to work so hard for good shots when they are 5-19 from three. They don't have an inside presence.

Dallas has only received 4 points off their bench and that is from Powell.

Clippers have 19 from their bench.
