August 20, 20205 yr Trying to enjoy the ride. Pressure is on those fuckers. Let’s just keep on scoring and see what happens in this series.

August 20, 20205 yr 11 minutes ago, Firemans4Horn said: Luka going 5th in the draft means the other 4 teams should be contracted. All Star draft? Teach Lebron and Giannis a lesson. Edited August 20, 20205 yr by RexWilson
August 20, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, Dr. Beeper said: Grizzlies never had a shot at Luka. Grizzlies did alright with Ja Morant anyways, who is second only to Luka in the exciting/awesome young gun category.
August 20, 20205 yr 6 minutes ago, Dr. Beeper said: Yeah but Atlanta at 3 fucked up too. It was a weak draft and the only memorable players are shaping up to be Luka, Young and Ayton. We will see if Phoenix drafted Bowie or Hakeem. Probably in between and closer to Bowie. Sacramento drafting Bagley over Luka was really dumb. Atlanta parlayed rights time Luka for Young and what ended up being Cam Reddish. On draft day, a logical move. Atlanta couldn’t have known Luka was this good. Dirk is my favorite Dallas athlete ever. I love him. Comparisons between the two are really stupid at this point, but Luka is more talented and it’s not close. He just needs longevity and he’ll be a top 10 player of all time. JJJ is nice. And MPJ looks like he's going to be a dynamic scorer if he stays healthy. He's been a revelation. Much better shooter than I was led to believe in pre-draft discussions
August 20, 20205 yr Lukas amazing. Fuck he’s made Kawhi and PG his bitch these first 2 games, and effortlessly.Portland and Dallas eliminating the 2 LA teams would be so awesome
August 20, 20205 yr 13 minutes ago, Dr. Beeper said: Yes they did but a year later. Jaren Jackson (okay, but not Trae Young) and Ja Morant isn’t a bad back to back draft. If they took Trae they wouldn’t have drafted Ja.
August 20, 20205 yr Great win. Not flukey at all. All with Luka on bench a lot in 2nd half. Both teams can play better which makes this even more interesting.
August 20, 20205 yr Back to the Mavs, if we can get 2 of Hardaway, Curry, and Burke to shoot well in 3 of the next 5 games we can win.
August 20, 20205 yr It's pretty fucking awesome we won a game going away with Luka on the bench the majority of the 2nd half. Just an amazing job by the bench. Of course, LAC's best players had pretty shitty games. So we've yet to see a full game with Luka/KP on the floor with LAC playing their A game. That's going to happen and should be fun. Pat B being out could be a big deal in this series. Interested to hear news on that injury. Of course, I guess the same could be said for KP's knee.
August 20, 20205 yr he's really skilled just lumbering. He can retire a maverick for all i care. I love him

Dude doesn’t play heavy minutes, but his minutes are heavy in the scorebook. He has the 7th beat PER in the history of the league. Dude just gets it done when he’s on the court, and his teammates feed off his positive energy.

August 21, 20205 yr Here's an article showing why Dallas is having so much success. Carlisle is a wizard https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2020/8/20/21378191/nba-playoffs-2020-dallas-mavericks-clippers-weak-links

I feel like that's going to be their best bad option but I still think the Mavs will screen out of those matchups. And even if that strategy slows Luka down, you've worn out your best offensive players and the Mavs still have other options capable of beating you. I think the balance of this series rests on THJ and Seth.

August 22, 20205 yr Beverly is doubtful. I was curious how Doc would switch things up and....Landry Shammet gets the start. Luka better tear him up
August 22, 20205 yr Luka is pissed. Has 1 tech. We need an expendable enforcer to come in a give a hard foul
August 22, 20205 yr Mavs are just fun to watch. To be fair, I like Doc and it would be nice to see him win the big one. But I want to see the Mavs win.
August 22, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, bluto said: Kleber is not ready for this stage His defense has been fine but his offense has been terrible. Keeps passing out at the last second instead of finishing
August 22, 20205 yr Luka’s sad face makes me sad. It’s like looking at a 4 year-old who dropped his bowl of spaghetti-os. He needs to loosen up at half or something. Do they have Eastern European rub ‘n tugs in the bubble?
August 22, 20205 yr His defense has been fine but his offense has been terrible. Keeps passing out at the last second instead of finishing They’ve been isolating him often tonight, just killing him.
August 22, 20205 yr I don’t know how the 2nd half will go, but I think it’s fair to say that if you give up a 45 point quarter in the playoffs you have no business winning that game. they scored 31 and were -14 for the quarter.
August 22, 20205 yr So we just going to let THJ Chuck us out of the game? Dude has been terrible and is taking every shot for us.
August 22, 20205 yr Luka is pissed. Has 1 tech. We need an expendable enforcer to come in a give a hard foulIs Brian Cardinal still on the mavs?
August 22, 20205 yr So we just going to let THJ Chuck us out of the game? Dude has been terrible and is taking every shot for us. Who the hell you want taking shots? Wright? Kleber? DFS? With luka out (injury or breather) you’re down to curry THJ and KP with an occasional Burke flash
