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.

[LazarusLong]

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...

[JJ Slim]

Ouch!

[Indy]

I wonder if we should have drafted him over ayton?

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

[O_Gardino]

"every time Doncic has a good game"

[Indy]

historic games. only time in NBA history where a player had a triple double with >30 points in <30 minutes.

[Mori Chu]

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

[O_Gardino]

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.

[O_Gardino]

None of us can pretend to know he would be this good this fast.

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.

edit--oops--im tired already

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. And his averages are not that great (21/8/6 on 43/44/71 shooting). It is just how he takes over the game.

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.

24/19/15 for Giannis tonight...He’s the MVP
