D-Loser!! What a clown

Holy laggy feed tonight. Lag and then everything plays at double speed on league pass. Grr

Mavs showing why we should never trade Ant.

Cooper Flagg....not impressed. But he is only 18 and I think he'll eventually be a great player. Just not sure if he brought any one thing to the NBA that is elite (?).

Please, someone tell me why they allow Ant to travel on that move? It’s so blatant it’s frankly an embarrassment to the league. Am I missing something here? Is that not often two (but at least one) extra steps even? I’ve been meaning to ask people about this for a while. Thanks

I get the euro step, but this is something beyond that even, right? I saw Julius do it the other night even too and they let him do it. I don’t watch many other teams, is this common now?

Which move? You mean the post-up on Max Christie?

I mean when he turns to face up and then all of sudden takes two more steps (obviously lifting his pivot foot) and they let it go. At least once or twice each game. I think most players don’t even have the nerve to try it.

I'd have to watch more carefully, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's something blatant and the refs just ignore it. Remember the Harden shuffle on step-back 3's? It was when he first popularized that shot in Houston and the refs would let him get away with just blatant travels.

Cooper Flagg is going to be above average

Yep, Hardens was bad too. I honestly think Ants is much worse. It reminds of a 3rd grader thinking they can just take two more steps to the hoop after giving up their dribble. It’s insane (to me) and I really hope others are seeing this too lol. I might just be ignorant on the new rules too. But why aren’t all of the other non star players doing it then too? If Rudy tried anything close he would be called for traveling (just because he’s awkward and Ant is smooth). It’s crazy
