The King Still Reigns

The playoffs are in full swing, and dirkfansince1998 is giving props to LeBron James:

“Nope. At the same age Kareem averaged 11ppg in the playoffs. Don’t have to like him but in the end you have to acknowledge greatness. He is doing things that someone in his early 40s shouldn’t be able to do.”

LeBron’s impressive performance, especially in the playoffs, has rocky164 acknowledging his greatness despite being a self-proclaimed LeBron hater:

“I really dislike LeBron. For me he is the poster child for self entitled athletes. But has any 40+ year old player ever put up playoff numbers like he has in these 3 games? Abdul-Jabbar?”

KD’s Concerning Absence

The Mavs community is buzzing about Kevin Durant’s absence from the bench during a crucial playoff game. Chicagojk wonders:

“So KD wasn’t with the team? I saw a Bill simmons quote mentioning this. Was he even in the arena? Getting treatment? I am sorry…game three in a must win he needs to be on the bench as the best player on the team.”

RoyTarpleysGhost isn’t holding back:

“Breaking news: KD is a team killer.”

Ayo Dosunmu’s Rise

Ayo Dosunmu had a phenomenal performance, catching the attention of Mavs03:

“Would anyone be interested in signing Ayo Dosunmu in the offseason? What a performance by him particularly with Edwards and Divincenzo having to leave today’s playoff game early.”

F Gump shares some insights on Dosunmu’s potential value:

“Dosumnu was one of the guys I had on my list of potential FA targets, but that was subject to the quest for a PG (he’s a SG) being satisfied some other way besides free agency, and also the cost.”

Injury Report

The playoffs have seen their fair share of injuries, with cow noting:

“Divincenzo with an Achilles tear. Sucks. It really feels like we’ve seen a huge uptick in this injury of late, but at least it’s less of a career ender than in the past.”

Mavs Rumblings

The Mavs community is speculating about potential offseason moves, including DanSchwartzgan discussing the possibility of acquiring Ayo Dosunmu:

“I wanted him at the TDL. He won’t come for the full MLE and I’m not sure what Minnesota would require if he would agree to starting at $21mm.”

As the playoffs heat up, Mavs fans are eager to see what the offseason holds for their team. One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be an interesting ride.

Playoff Recap

The Cavs and Raptors had an ugly game, with dirkfansince1998 describing it as:

“Cavs/Raptors is a must watch. One of the ugliest games in recent history. 54-46 with four minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Airballs on wide open 3s. Players struggling on the freethrow line. Brick hands around the rim. Just an alltime brick festival.”

The playoffs have been filled with surprises, and SwisherPrice shares his thoughts on the current state of the league:

“Pistons and Nuggets are in trouble. Cavs will still be ok with home court advantage.”

As we wrap up this playoff roundup, it’s clear that the Mavs community is buzzing with excitement and concern. Will the Mavs make some offseason moves to shake things up? Only time will tell.

The Mavs are looking to get back on track next season. One thing that could get them there is adding someone like Ayo Dosunmu to their roster. Mavs fans are hoping for a big offseason.
