Apparently the Warriors could only suit up 8 players tonight. I didn't watch, but at one point I saw the score was 93-50.

I don't have anything clever to say about the game, but it's just remarkable when something so out of the ordinary happens. The 8 guys they suited up wouldn't win in the G league.

I heard they were down by 35 in the first half.

Dallas torched Golden State, 142-94.
Doncic had a triple double in 25 minutes-- 35 pts/10 rebs/11 assts.

Golden State appears to be the NBA's designated piñata this season...

Really? Every time Doncic has a good game? Consider the dead horse beaten. Its getting really old.

Dang, if only there had been any indication that Doncic might turn out to be a really good NBA player.

BTW, Doncic has had 1 bad game, 2 games with good production but inefficient shooting, and in the other 11 "good" games he's averaging close to 30/10/10 on 50% shooting.

Unbelievable for a guy folks thought was not athletic enough to bring the ball up court against nba defenders.

He doesn't turn 21 until after the all-star break. Is it a guarantee he will be starting in that game?

Considering media types are putting him in the MVP discussion, I'd say he's a lock for the All-Star game.

Edit: Just noticed you said starter. We'll have to see about that. If he's a Forward then he'll have to get more votes than Kawhi and Paul George because LeBron is certainly the other starter.

Wasn't he 3rd in voting overall last year, but still didn't even make the All-Star team? I think it's a lock that he starts this year, barring injury.

agreed. If he *just* keeps his averages for the seasons, and the Mavs can end up a top 3-4 team in the West, he could win MVP.

Luka? He’s at 30/10/9 with 48/33/81 splits

A Suns fan looking at last year needs some poison. Don’t do that.
