AROUND THE NBA ROUNDUP: Mavs Fans React to League Shenanigans

The playoffs are in full swing, and MavsBoard is buzzing with discussion about the latest NBA drama. From potential 6th Man of the Year candidates to cheap owners causing a stir, we’ve got the scoop on what Mavs fans are talking about.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Deserves Some Love

HoosierDaddyKid kicked off the discussion with a link to a New York Times article about Tim Hardaway Jr.’s potential 6th Man of the Year award. The Mavs fanbase loves Hardaway, and it’s about time he gets some national recognition.

“Good story on potential 6MOY, Tim Hardaway Jr.” - HoosierDaddyKid

The Bulls are a Hot Mess

Meanwhile, Chicagojk is over here throwing shade at the Chicago Bulls, calling them “such a mess.” Apparently, the team’s owners are making some questionable decisions, including potentially forcing the next GM to work with coach Billy Donovan.

“Man the Bulls are such a mess. A week after the owners son says any GM hired would have to be ok with Billy Donovan the coach.” - Chicagojk

The Kings and Warriors are in a Similar Spot

Chicagojk also took a jab at the Sacramento Kings, saying they’re “just awful.” And let’s not forget about the Golden State Warriors, who are reportedly considering external candidates for their coaching position, including college coach Todd Golden.

“The Bulls and Kings are just awful. Although they haven’t done as much damage as our team has done with the fanbase.” - Chicagojk

Cheap Owners are the Worst

Mavs2021 and others are keeping a close eye on the Portland Trail Blazers’ new owner, Tom Dundon, who’s already making waves with his cost-cutting approach.

“New Trailblazers owner Tom Dundon, is already ruffling NBA feathers with his approach.” - HoosierDaddyKid

Playoff Update

The playoffs are heating up, folks! HoosierDaddyKid shared some exciting updates, including the Lakers’ surprising 2-0 lead over the Rockets and the 76ers’ dominant win over the Celtics.

“Lakers take a surprising 2-0 lead over the Rockets, despite missing Doncic and Reaves. Lebron has been playing ridiculous at 41 yrs old, and he’s getting help from Smart and Kennard, who’s been shooting lights out.” - HoosierDaddyKid

A Tribute to KD

HoosierDaddyKid also shared some impressive stats about Kevin Durant, who’s become the 7th player to reach 5,000 career playoff points.

“KD has hit 5,000 career playoff points, just the 7th player to do so.” - HoosierDaddyKid

Mavs GM Search Update

Unknown shared some insight into the Mavs’ GM search, saying that Mark Cuban seems to be pushing for Dennis Lindsey, but it’s unclear if he’ll actually get the job.

“Given how sideways things have gotten with Cuban and Dumont, and that Cuban seems to have been the one pushing for Lindsey, I think he’s a pretty unlikely hire in Dallas.” - Unknown

A Prediction to End on

As the playoffs continue, one thing is for sure: it’s going to be a wild ride. This Mavs fan is rooting for a Dallas championship, but we’ll see what the future holds. Until next time, stay hoop-tastic, MavsBoard!
