[@Leon_von_Sehnsucht]

​@leonardobraynen1524, what are you talking about? He's the best player on the court by far. Statistically, he's the most valuable offensive threat the league has ever seen. His usage rate is through the roof, on a team that's en route to win the WCF...

Gigante Dončić , partidazo y 0-2 de ventaja para los Mavs , pese a escaparse los Wolves casi de 20 puntos ,Dallas de la mano de Luka comenzaron a remontar bien entrado el 3er cuarto hasta llegar a ponerse 1 arriba tras un triple de Irving, a partir de ahí los últimos 7 minutos del 4to cuarto el marcador se sucedió para unos y para otros tras prácticamente cada jugada, hasta llegar al último minuto con 5 puntos a favor de los Wolves, pero primero un triple de Jones, y otro de Luka a 3 segundos del final del partido bastó para ponerse delante en el marcador y llevarse el 0-2 Dallas para casa. Triple doble de Luka que estuvo imperial . Espero que los Mavs lleguen a la Final y pasen por encima de Boston que está jugando unos play offs muy buenos aunque Indiana no ha dicho su última palabra, esta madrugada jugarán el 3er partido de la final de C. E., si ganan los Pacers se meterán de lleno por pasar a la Final,por contra si ganan los Celtics estarán en la Gran Final prácticamente. Ánimo Pacers , aunque no me está gustado nada como maneja al equipo el entrenador Carlisle de Indiana, el 1er partido se lo regaló a Boston quedando sólo 10 segundos para terminar ,3 arriba y con posesión a favor,muy lamentable pues tenía un tiempo muerto que no lo solicitó, en el 2do perdiendo de 14 puntos al empezar el último cuarto sacó a todos los titulares de pista y metió a los reservas inexpertos que con lucha consiguieron que Boston no se distanciara más dando el partido por perdido intentando dar descanso a los titulares, veremos si le funcionará o no. Yo opino que no,ojalá me equivoque

@mamaadura9831 bro what are u talking about, ant is my fav player I'm just stating facts so if he wants to win this series he acc needs to improve efficiency for example he is 29.4% from field and 28.6% from 3 on game 2 and so Jason mcdaniels needs to get back to levels in that nuggets game.

Change rule to Edwards, the last possibility to try something different, Edwards in P 3, he can shoot, he can go in, he can dunk,he can pass, so Edwards less playmaker and more point-forward (Bryant-Jordan-Melo style).
