[Mark Followill] After Brandon Williams 31 pts Friday, my research radar went off. He ties 3rd most pts ever by a player on a 2-way contract. All 30+ point games are confirmed here by researcher extraordinaire @keerthikau. TY to @TheSteinLine for sending my research her way to officially confirm!

KD: "You gotta give the Mavs credit though, man, they play extremely hard no matter who's out on the floor. They cover for each other, but they're just small out there...there's a lot of noise around the team, but once that ball is tipped up you can tell these guys just wanna go out there & hoop."

True Mavs fans should root for spectacular failure

[Clark] KD on Kyrie: "Kyrie is a hard worker. He’s disciplined every single day — his regimen, his routine. That’s why he’s so great. He’s so great, I’m expecting him to come back and be the same Kyrie. Expecting him to come back and lead Dallas and be the same team they’ve always been."

[Noah Weber] Kidd on Klay's leadership: “He's won championships, understands what it means to be a veteran & be a leader, & he’s doing that for us at a high level right now...his voice for those younger guys, to help them through this is big. We’re very lucky to have him.”

“I know the whole the city was down because of the Luka thing. At the same time, you know, I know who I am as a player. I’m top 75 of all time, and I just want to let the Dallas fans like, ‘hey, I got you, I’m here now.’ So, like, I know you lost a superstar, Luka, but you also gain a superstar..."

Klay with a huge sign of respect & stamp of approval for BWill and Kessler Edwards, certifying them as 'battle tested!'

[Dr. Evan Jeffries] Definitely NOT too many minutes he was knocked off balance which can cause a split second loss of communication with the Nervous system reducing ability to contract the muscle properly resulting in hyperextension of the opposite knee.

Iman Shumpert: "Klay does not complain to the refs. He's not gonna do the, 'oh refs, look at him, he blah blah blah.' You grab Klay, you hold him? This dude don't care, man. He willing to fight me. I'm like, Klay is willing to fight me, bro, just to get off this screen." 35 & nothing's changed. 😭

No more boot for D-Live!

One thing, among many, watching the Mavs this season has taught me is to never take players who can see the floor for granted. So many Mavs struggling w/that this season has me paying more attention to this quality when watching others. To that end, watching Caleb Martin's tape has been refreshing.

Klay on what gives him confidence that they can overcome all of the adversity: “I see a group that’s willing to put the work in & lay it all out there. If we just give ourselves a chance to get there, I like our chances of being successful. But right now, we’re just thinking about Memphis on Fri."

Klay on Kyrie's injury: "That was really a gut punch, not just for the Dallas Mavericks, but for basketball fans around the globe. Kyrie has been our rock this year...so we gotta rally around him & we gotta play hard for him. And I know he's going to come back stronger."

Anthony Davis has played 31 minutes for the Mavericks and they probably already need to trade him

Mike Budenholzer and Kevin Durant exchange words into a timeout

GAME THREAD: Golden State Warriors (33-28) @ New York Knicks (40-20) - (March 05, 2025)

Kyrie on IG Live: "I'm not gonna get silent or try to run away from the pain or run away from telling you guys the truth of what's going on, you guys are part of my journey and part of my process of recovery now and I will be back and I will be better."

Mavs should use this time to hone Max's playmaking ability. He's shown flashes of having everything it takes to be a good playmaker - maintains composure & court awareness in the half court & on fast breaks & always makes the right play. Has also shown good timing, speed & versatility w/his passing.
