I like these, they remind me of Mardi Gras. They aren't as sweet as the old school Mardi Gras jerseys though.

Mavs really should consider benching Matthews and letting Finney-Smith start. Seeing the other team's shooting guard have the best night of their season every game gets old.

I thought Shai Gilgamesh-Alexander would be a lot worse, due to his slow feet and un bouncy legs, but he uses his length and core strength really well to sling around the paint. You can see how his lack of bumps and jumps hurt him around the rim, but he's doing pretty well.

It was insanely stupid for the Bucks to put him back out in the 4th quarter of a massive blowout after he admitted "blacking out from an elbow" so this is the right call, even if it sucks

I'm pretty sure the concussion protocol stopped being effective when it was realized you could just angrily retort "have you ever blacked out?" when examined.

Speaking of passing, DeAndre Jordan had 9 assists last night. His freethrow shooting continues to be a massive improvement this season. He is shooting .867%. That's .031% worse than Dirk last season.

It's probably not, but being a 70+ percentage FT shooter is still highly valuable to keep DeAndre on the floor.

For sure. It's crazy to me that you wouldn't immediately err on the side of caution with your 23 year old MVP candidate, especially in a game that was over by halftime

They're all hail mary jump passes that he tosses when he can't get his midrange fadeaways off, I'm expecting it to average down to half of that eventually.

Mavs chances of losing just increased by a lot.

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2896/luka-doncic
"Luka Doncic is listed as questionable in the game notes for Monday night vs. the Spurs.
The Mavs are calling it lower back soreness. Doncic also banged his knee on Sunday night and this is the second game of a back-to-back, so maybe they play it safe and hold him out. If Luka can't go, Dennis Smith Jr. and J.J. Barea will get a bump in usage, while Maxi Kleber could be more involved as well. Oct 29 - 12:21 PM"

seems like he wants to play though.

Every year I contemplate Cristiano Felicio \cree-STEE-YAHN-oh fell-EE-see-o\ and why he is in the league. Brazil does have a population of ~210,000,000 so I guess the NBA BOG deemed it necessary to have a least on Brazilian in the league for content marketing or something.

I have a feeling that some contracts are given so that the NBA can indirectly advertise in far away foreign lands.

He stole a TD from Dwyane Wade and got yelled at by some guy. Other than that he looks very confused on the basketball court.

Love has played a shitload of games the last 4 years, shutting him down this season and gunning for a top-10 pick so they don't owe Atlanta anything is probably the right move.

Love tried to keep up with LBJ for four years and turned into a sick vampire from Lifeforce (1985).

If you play with LBJ long enough this will happen to you:

Just a dusty husk of an NBA player. I fear Kevin Love has no more 30/30 games in the tank.
