KD: “I feel like our season was derailed by my injury. I’m not looking at it like we’re just not a good basketball team. There wasn’t a lot of continuity with me and Kyrie out of the lineup. That’s just what it is. When we’re all on the floor together, I like what we’ve got.” – 1:05 PM

In 6 wins since March 1, Luka Doncic has outscored 7 fellow All-Stars — LeBron, Steph, Mitchell, Rudy, Tatum, KD and Giannis — by a combined 48 points.
All while Mavs’ defense had its worst month.

Jalen Green had 31 points tonight, and Josh Christopher added a career-high 30
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it is the 3rd time teammates 20 or younger scored 30+ in the same game. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook did it twice for Oklahoma City on 2/1/09 and 2/21/09 – 11:18 PM

Average every MVP season in NBA history and you get 43.8 combined points, rebounds and assists per game.
There are SIX players doing it this season, tied for the most ever.
Giannis. Jokic. Embiid. LeBron. Durant. Doncic.
Just an absurd collection of top shelf talent. – 5:57 PM

Matthews still is a very good defender. He showed that a few nights ago against Durant. But Doncic just made him look helpless, bulling into the paint for an 8-footer. – 2:30 PM
