Don't know if Mavs bros care, but Pablo is releasing his next olume on Kawhi tonight, three hours before Kawhi and the Clippers tip off against the Spurs. Also he is doing it at Sloane Nerd Conference, where Adam Silver is a speaker.




Is this in regards to the salary cap bypass stuff from last year or something new?

Yeah, more evidence.

A week or two ago, he brought forth evidence that showed that Uncle Dennis was getting paid by the Clippers while Kawhi was still on the Spurs. It coincided with Kawhi refusing to show up and play for the Spurs.

Pablo dunked on Cuban early in it.

Cued up to 13m 03s for the Cuban bit:



Main new things:

April 4th 2022: Kawhi signs deal for 28M cash endorsement deal (shows the document)
April 4th 2022: Clippers wire Aspiration $32M (with wire transfer documents)

Then the coup de grace was that Pablo got the original whistle blower complaint that kicked off the SEC investigation, which specifically said that the Clippers were circumventing the cap through Aspiration.

Pablo taped that document under the chairs on the stage prior to Adam Silver sitting there. Silver had been in the room previously that day.

7-21 for coop. Less than ideal. He's going to have to be more efficient I think to overtake Kon.

He may end up being correct, but he is an outrageously ******y and often over inflated claims of his evidence reporter.

Good loss Coop looks so good. Rusty shooting but fills up the stat sheet

Pelicans won, so Dallas is now 1 game back (two in loss column, even on win column) from that 6th seed.

Two games back from the Jazz at 5.

Grizzlies playing the Nets right now. Really need the Grizzlies to win this one, but they have 10 guys on the injury report. Doing all they can to ensure they drop this one.

Brooklyn beat Memphis, but Utah is looking like they will beat Golden State.

Be careful. Utah is playing Oscar Tsbiebwe in the 4th along with 4 other absolute scrubs.

Utah should lose a draft spot every game Cody Williams plays over 20 minutes. He played 43 tonight.
Vessel
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah I thought they have already been fined for doing what they did tonight. They just happened to accidentally win tonight.

No Keyonte or Kevin Love in the 4th. Took out Tshiebwe with 10 minutes left because he was more effective than Filipowski. Final 3 minutes was Cody Williams, Konchar, Hinson, Harkless, and Filipowski.

Ngl this team needs a vibes win. This feels like it has entered unbearable territory.

It would be one thing if they were climbing up lottery odds but they're losing and pretty much not moving whatsoever.

They are half a game from dropping below the Pelicans for #6.

I get that, but they are like 2 for their last like 18 and have been 7th almost the whole time.

Bam Adebayo scores 83 against one of AD's best defensive efforts of the season.

Pelicans are 6-4 over their last ten and have been slowly moving. They are really really bad. Takes a while to get the teams to cross paths. Probably won't catch the Jazz, but only 1 game behind.


Also, if you didn't see it, Bam Adebayo had 83 points to be the second highest single season scorer ever.

Shot 36-43 from FT.

Agree on the Bam front. That's example 1, 2 and 3 on what the NBA has become offensively.

We are slowly reeling in NOLA and only 1.5 back of Utah. You can't lose focus now. The finish line is right there.

We can't let Memphis pass us. If you're 6th in the lottery odds the lowest you can fall is to 8th. If you're 7th then you can fall to 9. Falling to 9th would be catastrophic.

Short term pain for long term gain.
Vessel

Tomorrow's game at Memphis is crucial. A loss would almost guarantee we finish with better lottery odds than them. It's the front end of a back-to-back for both teams. Mavs may not sit anybody. Memphis will sit Ty Jerome, Scottie Pippen Jr., and probably Coward.

After tomorrow, Mavs easiest game left is against the Bulls. We also play NO, but NO is much better than their record and they are trying to win still. Memphis will still have 1 against the Jazz and 2 against the Bulls.

We only have 1 more win than the Jazz, who still have to play SAC, WAS, and MEM.

A loss tomorrow and the 5th best lottery odds are on the horizon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe New Orleans' pick to Atlanta is unprotected, meaning that New Orleans has no incentive to tank. They should beat Dallas, Sacramento, and Utah, along with maybe even a couple more along the way.
Vessel
How long do you want to ignore this user?
You are correct. They have no incentive to lose. They brought back Dejounte recently and have a winning record in the past few weeks. It's inevitable they will finish with more wins than us.
Guitarsoup

Pelicans have the 5th hardest schedule going forward. Only 3 games against tanking teams then one game against the Blazers (not tanking, but not trying to make the playoffs.)

I think a lot of teams will use them to rest, though.

Pelicans should win those 4 games, then should probably sneak out 2-3 other wins. Their last two games are Boston and Minn and those teams may have their seed locked up and only play the two-ways.
