Mavericks (6-3) at Celtics (7-1) Game #9 11/11/19

[CF033]

Whew that turned into a very entertaining win. No Hayward and Jayson Tatum having about as cold a game as you can possibly have. I'll def take it.

I was very stupid about being skeptical about signing Kemba Walker.

[CelticSooner]

Good team
Fun team

Theis was a +27

With a smashed up hand!

He out "euro'd" the leading "euro" team in the league!

[keevsnick]

That was another nice win.

This team is defending well and it's paying off. Let's hope the injuries weren't serious.

Tatum was a +35, nice game big guy.

My box score says he was a +16. Thats still a joke given how he played.

[Somebody]

lol at whoever downplayed Doncic earlier in the thread. Guy may very well already be the best player in the NBA.

I assume you meant me since I scoffed at the Bird comparisons. I mean I look at him as a Magic/LeBron type, is that called downplaying him?

Good game by The Celtics. The refs were rough and then Dallas missed all those free throws down the stretch.
I really thought we would win the game when Doncic missed that free throw. Good team win.

Also Brown has now played six games. He's gone or 25+ in three of them.

Where was Kanter and Timelord in the 4th quarter?

[Ogaju]

I hope Theis' hand and Kemba's shoulder have a speedy recovery.

Doncic looks like a dirty player to me. Tonight he managed to:

-kick Smart in the nuts

-smack Jaylen hard

-hit Kemba hard several times

-get a flagrant 1 on Theis.


One of those things in a game I could understand. But as the night went on and they kept piling up, I had to say to myself, dang! this guy's a thug.

I was going to say.... but apart from the Smart kick I didnt notice anything dirty. I am not saying the kick was dirty either.

Doncic is very Bird like in the way he plays and he's only 20.

He's a Doncic type to me..... he's so good he gets to be compared to himself.

Showing strong to start 2nd halves this year. Like that trend. Kemba and Smart incredibly clutch at the end.

Nice win!! Tps

[trickybilly]

Kemba, Jaylen, and Wannamaker, and Javonte all step up nicely.

R Will definitely happier when Hayward is out there, and his defense still has a ways to go.

[blink]

Also Brown has now played six games. He's gone or 25+ in three of them.

These last two games Jaylen has looked like a LEGIT all star

[nickagneta]

What a game from Brown. 25/11/3 with very efficient shooting while being primarily responsible for guarding Porzingas, a man 9 inches taller than Brown, and shutting him down.

Love watching Kemba get hot and the team feeding his hot hand.

Marcus really bothered Luka and really made him work for his points and assists. Just tremendous.

Theis with a great game toughing it out with the finger injury.

Bench guys definitely brought the "next man up" mentality and gave the team the boost it needed, especially in that first half.

This team is playing like an actual title contender.
