After the infamous trade that led Dončić to LA (and will go down as the worst ever, even worse than the 2013 Nets-Celtics trade), the counterpart AD got injured, but that’s unfortunately common, so much that one of Davis’ nickname is “Street clothes”, plus centers Lively and Afford went down, Martin and Washington are battling injuries and even Kyrie had a problem on his knee.
Karma is real…

    More like the Adelson curse.

    They’re definitely going to try to move the team to Vegas.

    What’s nightmare season. If ever there were a thing as basketball karma. AND it’s all unfolded in the last 30 days since the trade.

    Kyrie usage has been up since the trade; there’s a flat earth somewhere where he doesn’t get injured because he doesn’t need to be the only scorer.

    I just feel bad for Mavs fans at this point, to go from the finals last year to this last month is a gut punch.

    The Curse of the Don

    Mavs might even miss the playoffs this season which they deserve as an organization. Hope Kyrie gets healthy soon though.

    That was gnarly. I think his knee went farther back than Giannis’.
