The Mavs tank been moving in silence

Fultz gonna come in and run pick and roll with Dirk for the next 5 years

I feel like the team needs to build around Tobias. bruh is on the cusp. But there are moments they freeze him out and go to that idiot in the paint with no post moves. There are so many flaws in the makeup of the team, I dont even know where to start.

and Caldwell-Pope is demanding 20 mil a year this free agency. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf that bruh.

 

[P C H]

Had no idea so many ppl soured on Drummond.

 

[a-friend]

Maybe Drummond isn't happy playing Basketball.

He better get out of here with that!!!!!!!!!!

Dude 3 ball still so suspect. Off the Dribble suspect. Defense is stout but that is all.

Yea, I had alot of faith in our core. Idk. One thing is if things start to go bad, we have some pieces to move if needed.

But I will wait and see how we do once Reggie gets back and in shape.

I have on idea why we continue to feed Drummond in the post though. Not even Hakeem can help him right now .

Bro.

I seriously do not doubt this one bit. He is a goof ball and after the games gives no ISH win or lose.

Dirk lol

And Drummond was one of NTs faves not too long ago, so the slander is pretty weird. People loved him like KAT right now.

 

[nick.]

Wasn't there questions about Drummond's work ethic at UConn?

Only from people that dont watch games, they watch sports center. I go to pretty much every pistons home game. I see dude live in 3D damn near 40 times a year. He blows. I'm still blaming him for that loss to the Celtics the other night too. His rim protection is disgusting. All of those Isiah Thomas LAYUPS down the stretch is unacceptable.

 

[ill steelo]

His rim protection metrics were all below average last season, which goes along with the eye test. I can see how people can sour on him. This season he hasn't been any better, allowing 51% at the rim, right there with Kanter.

For comparison's sake, Gobert & Dwight at 43%. Whiteside is at 36% :x :x

On a related note, Bogut was elite at that last year, very important because they ranked near the bottom in Opponent Drives per 100 possessions but it didn't matter because they were able to thwart the guys at the rim. Now they lose him & Ezeli, guys are still driving on them & they defense has plummeted.

Former NBA All-Star Steve Francis was arrested Saturday in Houston on multiple charges after being pulled over for speeding.

According to an incident report obtained by TMZ Sports, Francis was pulled over for driving 88 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone. Police then noticed he smelled of alcohol and asked him to take a field sobriety test, which he refused.

Francis was described as being "verbally abusive" toward the arresting officer. His behavior led the officer to call for backup to the scene, and police later found marijuana after examining his vehicle. He was formally charged with driving while intoxicated, marijuana possession and retaliation—the latter charge coming after Francis allegedly vowed revenge against the police.

Francis was previously arrested for DWI in 2001 while playing for the Houston Rockets. His issues with alcohol have been well documented, including a 2014 video of him pouring a bottle over his own head at a nightclub. Associates have spoken publicly about how Francis' life after basketball contributed to his issues with alcohol.

Francis spent six of his nine NBA seasons in Houston, making three All-Star teams and winning a Rookie of the Year Award in 1999-2000. He left basketball officially in 2010 after an unsuccessful stint in China.

Since retiring, Francis has kept an almost nonexistent public profile aside from denying rumors of drug abuse last year.

well damn

Dajuan Wagner would with the way people love offensive-minded PG's today.

He would've flourished regardless if it wasn't for his health failing him.

One of the sad what if stories, him and Baby Bron would have been a nightmare.

And HS.

I'm unsure if he'll ever reach his ceiling.

Ricky Davis is a legend.
