Ingrams basically a malnourished Tatum with worse defense and people are out here comparing him to greatest unicorn in the history of basketball.

No respek

I agree. If we don’t make a move we are probably fighting for the last 2 playoff spots and potentially have to be in the play in

I hear yeah. Baynes hasn’t done much but he was decent in Phoenix last year so I guess we are holding out some hope. Silver lining obviously is Boucher getting minutes and playing amazing. It was encouraging to hear that nurse wants to involve Boucher in more pick and rolls with Lowry. Boucher has definitely earned the minutes and extra touches.

It’s funny you mentioned Collins. I was watching highlights this morning and was thinking that he could be someone we should consider chasing give his contact situation and his rumoured displeasure with the organization. Just not sure how we could pull it off. We really don’t have the trade bait for Collins. Our bench is pretty thin. I just don’t know what we could offer

I see more budget McGrady in him.

Lazy eyes don't lie.

Why on earth would Zion clecters want him to fail, or vice versa. The goal is to see this team in the playoffs.

They both need each other. /pause

That pass by Mitchell to Bogey for the 3 was ridiculous

Nuggets/Thunder has been fun so far. Dort has an unbelievable motor

It’s a thing of beauty. Jazz offense rolling right now.

Jazz merking the Pels on the boards. Just destroying them.

brothertona · 01-19-2021, 10:46 PM

Yeah I'd think likely 1st rounder, Norman Powell and Stanley Johnson for John Collins and Tony Snell. I think the Hawks would make that trade.

Why would Toronto trade for Collins? They have Siakam. It's pretty clear JC doesn't want to be a bench player so I don't get the fit.

daeve · 01-19-2021, 10:56 PM

Jokic 27-12-6 in 28 minutes and might be done for the night. OKC is 5-1 on the road so I was slightly worried about this one, looks like they're holding a pretty steady lead though.

brothertona · 01-19-2021, 10:56 PM

Collins is really good at the 5. Maybe that was the reason they asked about trading for him.

The lineup he's played the most time with this season as the 5 has gotten torched for a -12.3 +-, while the lineup he's played the most overall minutes in by far is as the 4 with Capela at 5, and they're a +14.6.

There's a few seldom-used variations there that are pretty good with him at 5, but not large enough samples to really say for-sure. Plus I'm betting it's with opponents also going small - and again, very small minutes actually played. He's really not a '5' and I don't think anyone would trade for him to be their starting center.

More lopsided games.

He played a whale of a ball game tonight. Could’ve scored 40+ if he really wanted to but made the right plays all night.

Zion and Mitchell were quite literally my two biggest offseason targets. Tonight’s game helped to confirm why.

Particularly impressed with his passing. Some absolute dime pieces tonight. He fills the responsibilities of both the 1 and 2 so well. Dwade's legacy alive and well.

Mavs without DFS, Maxi, Powell, and JRich again because of Covid. THJ is probable with his groin injury. How many games are the Mavs going to be forced to throw away because of these ridiculous rules?

They're actually favored tonight against the Pacers on the road. So you know what that means. Shenanigans helping the Mavs to get a win tonight.

How are they favored? Has Vegas not watched them the last four games? I know Turner is out, but the Mavs have nobody who can guard Sabonis. He’s going to do 30/20 easy.
