Isaiah Thomas Shows Old Form In Loss To Mavs

Isaiah Thomas showed that maybe Cleveland was not a good fit for him after all. Thomas struggled as a Cavalier, but as a Laker its another story so far. Last night in his first game as a Laker off the bench he scored 22 points. At times Isaiah looked like the player people got used to in Boston. He was passing hitting threes and scoring when he was needed. While a Cavalier player, we did not see that at all.

It could be that there was a toxic climate in Cleveland when he was there. He did not do himself any favors either in Cleveland. Thomas was vocal about the problems in Cleveland and he spoke his mind. It was probably one of the reasons he was shipped out of Cleveland. Right now though he is on a team that fits what he can do.

This was only one game so we will have to wait and see what he does rest of the season. Hopefully, he can keep it going and earn a big contract down the line. He has been through a lot the last year and I'm rooting for him.

Dallas Mavericks Fall To 0-3 As Kevin Durant Beats Them At The Buzzer

The Dallas Mavericks finally played a decent game against a tough opponent, but it did not equal a win. After Vince Carter hit a three pointer with 1.4 seconds left to give the Mavs the lead Kevin Durant did his magic. Durant hit a three pointer as the buzzer went off to give the Thunder a 104-102 over the reeling Dallas Mavericks. It was a tough loss for the Mavericks to take, but one they will learn from that;s for sure.

Even though the Dallas Mavericks are 0-3 there should be no panic in Big D. People need to remember that the Dallas Mavericks are a different team, and do not have the same players when they won the NBA Championship. It is going to take some time to gel and find rotations that work for them. They will be fine as they have a lot of talent on the roster. They are also poised to grab some free agents in the future as they have cap space. Look for Dallas to get that win real soon and start improving game by game.
