After a quality win in Elfrid Payton’s hometown of New Orleans, the lights get a little brighter as we head to Julius Randle’s stomping grounds in Dallas. Tonight’s matchup will be televised on big, bad ESPN. Normally I’m setting up for a Friday night schedule loss. There’s just something a little different about this team right now. On a four-game win streak and probably feeling a little unsettled over their previous showdown in Madison Square with the Mavs.
The “KP Sucks!” chants might not cascade over the court and maybe Julius Randle won’t try to match nitwits with Porzingis like they did back in New York.
