The week before the trade, the training staff let Gafford lay on the floor for more than 30 seconds before going out to check on him when he was clearly hurt.
A large part of the Mavs' defense of the trade revolved around Luka hiring his own sports performance team (trainers/doctors) and valuing their insight over the team's staff. Less than a week after the trade, that staff rushed AD back causing a potential season ending injury.

I can think of another town that has two L’s in the middle of it. Instead, Mavs fans are just taking one big L.

@peet2 Agreed. At first, I didn’t like how the scores didn’t have a background, but it grew on me. Wouldn’t mind if it was a hair smaller, but that might be because I was watching it on a giant screen.

My brother-in-law @B_Dougher spotted this NFL fandom anomaly of a guy in a Cowboys jersey holding an Eagles flag in the Super Bowl international fans commercial.

My favorite part of Super Bowl Sunday is logging on to Facebook after halftime and seeing all the people I went to high school with that used to listen to Biggie and Tupac complain about the halftime show.

Is Kidd saying that Kyrie is clairvoyant and knew AD was going to get hurt?
Jason Kidd on Kyrie's quiet 1st half: "Kai was being patient. He understood the moment...We needed every second of him in the second half."
