Weird. Seeing the play from behind Gordon clearly makes contact with fox. It was a foul to me.

THe 2nd replay I showed later is the one where I see the contact. Note the pool report after the game said they called the foul because Gordon made illegal contact with Fox's lower body impeding his ability to land safely. When asked if it was a natural shooting motion by Fox the refs said in their opinion it was, they didn't feel he'd jumped into Gordon.

There is no 2 minute review yet but I'm assuming they will confirm the call, from the other angle there's hip to hip contact.

I think it will be fine. Kyrie is a great shooter and doesn’t need the ball in his hands all the time to score. Actually last night he didn’t handle the ball for large portions of the game when he was on the floor. It will be a better version of jalen Brunson and luka (if you look at last years playoffs) who both were great playing together and playing without the other. For me it’s a positive of how well the mavs roll players played with Kyrie straight away against a good team.

With that said the Mavericks might not go as far as last season. The WC is stacked especially now with what phx did. I’m excited to see if anymore trades go down. For Dallas I’m kind of ok if they do nothing else because they have some guys that are making the most of opportunities that they were not getting before.
I agree with all that. Kyrie > Brunson. They were missing that component, and now they upgraded that spot!

Kevin Love, Russel Westbrook. Can these buy out guys play in the playoffs?

With lots of people talking about these buyout players. How many open spots do we have on our roster?

Love ain’t going anywhere. They’re playing for the playoffs and he’s still a solid piece of their puzzle, isn’t he?

He hasn't been playing and the one thing they have him for was 3 point shooting which fell off a cliff this season (30%).

Yes, I believe the cut off for playoff eligibility on waived players is February 28th or March 1st. Anyone in the next 2 weeks is fine though, I'm sure of that.

This would be hilarious if we re-add Goran (with TJ) getting the band back together

Eric Gordon, for the contract that was matched

Kevin Love, for the teaser that never materialized

Who? Beasely, Bazely?


Solid deal and about all I expected to happen under Sarver. So glad he's gone. This is a good secondary deal to add a little depth and improve the bench.

Hmm. Bazely a young 6-9, long-armed, defensive player. This might be one of those under-the-radar good trades that JJ makes.
