In case you missed it. Here’s my story about Christian Wood eight days ago about his outlook on the rest of the season. Kind of called it.

Watching Kyrie Irving acclimate to the Mavericks’ pregame warm-ups has been fascinating.
Kyrie just wants to hoop, but looks like he’s also come to enjoy Dwight Powell/Maxi Kleber running football pass patterns, Josh Green dribbling like soccer, THJ playing volleyball, etc. – 8:01 PM

Jason Kidd, reflecting on Mavs’ celebratory dogpile after Maxi Kleber’s game-winner: “I probably did lose myself for a second, but it was fun. … Maxi felt so bad [after Spurs mistakes]. It just showed everybody’s character of caring and how much that made Maxi feel good.” – 7:15 PM

It’s so fascinating to analyze the difficulty & skill of the last play on Friday night. I have to pause videos & screen shot so quality is just OK. The ball is barely out of Kyrie’s hands at 1.5, it’s still not to Maxi at 0.9, he’s caught by 0.7 & has the shot away by 0.2! pic.twitter.com/jQCdMp08Sn – 2:10 PM
