I’ve see a lot of campazzo highlights. The guy has made some pretty impressive passes. Shame
No disrespect for Campazzo. He’s a lightning quick quality player. He produced for the Nuggets. I was glad when Dallas signed him. But, my immediate reaction was why not sign McClung. He’s 10 years younger and more explosive, with the same quickness and 3 point shooting ability.

Kristaps Porzingis exploded for 41 points tonight in a big win the Washington Wizards. They are playing some good ball. Why
couldn't he do this in Dallas? I would prefer he was still with the Mavs but he was so inconsistant there and hurt alot.

I get it I’m just surprised because it would seem that he might have drawn the magical Hispanic card and thus be given a pass. The fact that he is a white guy from Argentina rather than if he had grown up in North Jersey I thought would save him. Apparently I’m wrong. McClung is just too many things that the media don’t want to see in a white ball player from Virginia. Also a damn shame what has been done to him.

I agree signed McClung. Kemba Walker hadn't played in a year. McClung is putting up these numbers coming off the bench.

Dallas beats Golden State on TNT. Luka with a huge game 41/12/12 and 4 steals. I watched most of the game, and he was an absolute beast.

He also had a blocked shot. He has clearly surpassed all of players in the nba the majority of time when he goes head to head with other superstars. Luka Doncic has led the NBA in scoring for the last month and no one is even close to him. Let's see if he can do this over
a stretch of 82 games with little help from his teammates most nights and teams doing everything they can to double team him and make
other guys beat them. It will be very hard to continue at this pace but I'm hoping he can. At the end of the year, a scoring title would be
epic but only with another deep nba playoffs fun and possibly a trip to his first NBA Finals. Keeping my fingers crossed.

The Miami Heat are trying to trade Duncan Robinson. He used to be a starter for them last season but he seems to have fallen out of grace
with the team. I'm ok with it as they have too many white guards fighting each other for playing time.

In tonights game they started both Tyler Herro and Max Strus. They didn't dissapoint playing on the road against the Celtics.

Tyler Herro 22 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 blocked shot.
Max Struss 23 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Bojan torched the Mavs tonight. Dallas should have signed him in the offseason or trade for him now.
As good as Utah has been, just imagine if Bogdanovic was still there starting alongside Markannen & Olynyk.

Yes Luka Doncic scored 35 points again tonight in yet another loss. He has little help. The Mavs are now 1-9 on
the road. What makes things worse is they will never vote for him to win the NBA MVP without making the playoffs.
Now they were horrible in the first half of the season last year and turned it around. Still possible that the Mavs can
get better as the season is only 25 percent of the way in. Se we have a ton of basketball left. Bogdanovic would be
awesome playing alongside Doncic.

My number one preference though is for the Mavs to get a set of balls and sign McClung. Then not just sign him but play him
and let him become the star that he is. He would compliment Doncic perfect and they are only 1 year apart in age. What a
backcourt that would be.

I agree with you on Mac. He’s just sitting there ready to be signed and would give the Mavs the most bang for there buck!

There is history with the Mavs and an undersized white point guard. JJ Barrea was PG on the championship Mavs team. He paired with Dirk and company very well.

Mac would be an absolute star alongside Luka!

Meanwhile McClung had a triple double last night with 21 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds. He can put up crazy numbers and is a
stat sheet stuffer. How many small guards can defend, block shots and rebound like McClung? Then add it the steals, points and assists
and teams should be lining up to sign the kid. Oh but he is white with a 43 inch vertical so no one wants him. Disgusting treatment
and as I've said it countless times the kid deserves to be making the big money and helping a team to win games!

He’s literally a White, perhaps poor man’s version of Russell Westbrook. Of course this “meritocratic league” has no interest in even giving him a short run on even the worst NBA team.

Can you say Luka "Magic" ? Luka Doncic has 24 points in the first half against the Phoenix Suns. He may hit 50 tonight! :)

Twp guys I would love to see in the 2023 NBA All Star Game for the Eastern Conference Team are
Bogdan Bogdanovic and Tyler Herro! Both of these guys while way different in age are incredibly talented
guys who should have made a couple of all star games by now. Let's hope this is the year for both of them.
So how did they do tonight in their game against each other you ask? Here you go.

Bogdan Bogdanovic 31 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Tyler Herro 34 points,. 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.

Tuning in to The Jazz game. Unfortunately Markannen is out! But Kessler and Olynyk in.

Kessler needs to shoot more like he did in college where he scored around 20 a night. I really think that
he can be a star but he has to be more selfish with the few shots he gets. Defensively he is already a force!

The Mavs vs Bucks starts in about 10 minutes. A matchup of the 2 top scorers in the NBA.

The Dallas Mavs lost a very close game over the Milwaukee Bucks by 1 point. They couldn't shoot in the 4tth quarter
to save their life tonight and this game was at home. Doncic still played great but got little help as usual.

Luka Doncid led all scorers with 33 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals.
This was his epic dunk over Jrue Holiday who is one of the better defenders in the NBA.
Showing off some hops with this poster dunk for a facial erasal. :)

Franz Wagner had 32 points through three quarters tonight in the Magic's surprise win against Toronto. (the Raptors are not good, but any win is a surprise for Orlando)

The Magic have a black gentleman as their coach named Jamahl Mosley, who kept Franz on the bench for almost all of the fourth quarter and nearly saw his squad blow their 18-point lead entering the final fourth. Franz sealed the deal to end with 34 on the night, and his older brother Moritz added 11-4-2 and a block in 31 minutes in a rare starting appearance.

32 points through three quarters, and this is his only bucket at the end of the game:

The Dalllas Mavs have showed some interest in the Atlanta Hawks Guard Bogdanovic. Would be a good pickup for the Mavs if it
happened. Keeping my fingers crossed. Even though Bogdanovich is 30 and coming off knee surgery, he is a proven scorer and a
ball handler who can also pass well and get others involved.

I heard Donte D was on the trading block. We called that when he signed with Golden State. He'd look good next to Luka as well.
