Crusader, you must be happy to see the Boozer twins commit to Duke for next year.
Imagine if Flagg committed for another year (to avoid being drafted no1 by the Wizards or Hornets…), Duke would be off the charts!
Intense scrappy game. Gators pulled off a Houston on Houston - low scoring, defence orientated performance.

Nuggets fire coach Malone, GM amid 4-game skid
The Nuggets, in fourth place in the West, fired coach Michael Malone and said they will not extend GM Calvin Booth's contract.
First Memphis, Now Denver. Malone only won a chip for them two seasons ago, they have had injury disruption, but at times the knock as been that they aren't as engaged as they should be. Seems like a poorly timed decision to me, perhaps they hope for a dead cat bounce into the playoffs? I don't think Malone or Jenkins will have issues finding new jobs

You have to assume that they ran it past Jokic.
The talk is that the coach and front office weren't on speaking terms, so someone had to go. It's a surprise that they fired them both though.This must encourage all of the arrivals in the Western conference. With three games to play in the regular season, I don't see this decision having any possible positive consequences as it relates to the upcoming playoffs

I read a factoid about the recently completed WNCAA basketball final. When UConn won, Vanessa Bryant posted on social media that Kobe and Gigi would have loved to see them win. Gigi would be 18 if she were alive today, and would probably have been on that squad. Scary how time flies

Referees report reveals reason for Luka Doncic ejection, Jarred Vanderbilt makes ‘personal’ point
Were the refs being biased against Luka Doncic?
Luka gets ejected late in the game for abusing the ref, but he says he was trash talking with a fan (who actually backs him up). Bizarre, and the refs double down on their decision post game
-
Bro did you see Luka watching his Mavs tribute video.
Absolutely fuck the Mavs front office. It's not just a bad basketball trade, it's a shitty thing to do your talisman. Trade him when he WANTED to be there. Then shit talk him for a month to try and justify it.
Luka hates it. Every single one of your fans hates it. And your team is worse because of it.
Professional sport or not, this was a shitty thing to do.

New owners didn't want to pay him. In a GM who thought he knew better. Crazy decision.
Yeah ridiculous, less than a year after going to the finals...... Unless I'm mistaken they did the exact thing with Steve Nash back in 2004.... Didn't want to pay him then he won back to back MVP titles.
That one was on Cuban. But he sold the controlling stake in the team. Apparently he has no input into day to day basketball decisions

Luka wipes away tears, then whips Mavs in return
Luka Doncic's eyes welled up with tears during a pregame tribute in Dallas, and then he proceeded to dominate the Mavericks with a season-high-tying 45 points in an emotional 112-97 victory.
This has to do hurt Dallas fans on so many levels
-
Might as well been the Dallas Lakers today wit the cheers for Luka and LeBron coming from the stands.
Dropping 45 on your emotional return game and do it so efficiently will help the young man feel better.
Despite the loss, Mavs have sealed a play in spot with the Suns choking down the stretch and losing their 8th straight. Such a shame Kyrie is out who at an individual level was having a phenomenal season, but I would’ve loved to have seen him play with AD and the other very good pieces the Mavs have.
On the Malone sacking, the only shock is the timing. Thought they may have waited until the season end.
