Get that shoe outa here!

/

Tyson Chandler averages 1.5bpg but was unable to get one in Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Unless you count the greatest shoe rejection in basketball history. That might've been the best defensive play by the Mavericks all game as they fell to the Warriors 105-98. 

Blake Griffin is a wizard

/

Down by 2 points in overtime with under 3 seconds to go Blake Griffin catches the ball off the inbounds and decides to shoot a 3 pointer. The shot hits the rim and bounces up but Griffin uses the wizard skills he gained while at Hogwarts that one year to get the ball to fall. I feel so bad for the Phoenix Suns for what happened but the league needs to start clamping down on wizardry maybe Griffin should be fined somehow for game tampering idk. 

Monta Madness in Milwaukee

/

Monta Ellis continues being on a heater in tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Mavericks fought back after being down 9 in the 4th quarter and were even up by two with under 30 seconds to go. Brandon Knight stepped up for the Bucks however and hit a step back jumper to tie the game with 8.1 seconds remaining. I think Ellis was tired of OT games in the last week and a bit (OT vs the Knicks and 2OT the night before vs the Bulls) and made sure to hit the game winning shot with no time remaining. Ellis finished the game with 23pts 2reb and 7ast and possibly the biggest shot of the Mavericks season thus far. I think Parsons shares my sentiment. 

Steph Curry shoots 3 pointers like it's 2k

/

Coming HOT off his 40 point night on Tuesday Stephen Curry continues his shooting onslaught against the Orlando Magic by scoring 28 points and dishing out 8 assists in just under 24 minutes of playing time. Oh and he shot 6-8 from 3 point land. No biggie. I used to play a bunch of nba2k and a common complaint about the game is how the best 3 point shooters like Curry are "broken". While this may be true for other players in the game it isn't for #30 on the Warriors. Curry is by far the best 3 point shooter playing right now (Kevin Durant is still injured and Ray Allen still isn't signed to a team) and even more remarkably he's doing so by shooting off the dribble. If you go under a screen and Curry gets more than an inch of separation he will splash a triple, it's science.
