Well this is a pretty piss-poor must-win game 3 so far from The Boy. 

He's proven plenty that he's great. I think there are a few things he needs to address before he can enter that tier of being an undeniable great (talking all-time not right now). 

He could use some more help. He has plenty of help to not get swept by this Ws team.

    Welp. I’ve learned over the last couple of days that Luka is in peak physical condition, is one of the best defenders in the league, and doesn’t hunt fouls. Thanks for the education everyone. I think

Luka is only 23. He just needs to mature and get more help.

Guys like Giannis, Embiid, and Jokic are 4 or 5 years older than him. Steph is 11 years older which I think matters.

he needs to do what Jokic did and stop playing his way into shape. he needs to show up to camp looking like Real Madrid Luka. i really think that's the last step he has to take before entering perennial MVP candidate status.

Agree.  Jokic's game went through the roof when he showed up to camp ready to play instead of being 40# overweight.

also recorded his 22nd TD of 30+ points. he's still just 23 years old. 

The latest ESPN cookie cutter analyst take is we are leaving the LeBron era and now in the Curry era. I'd argue that one's only going to last another season or two before we get the Luka/Ja reign

#610

we would be in the jokic/giannis era if they played in LA and NYC instead of Wisconsin and Colorado, but yes, the era of Luka and Ja is nigh. and overall, the future of basketball looks brighter than the sun. the amount of young talent out there today is just unreal. david stern and michael jordan did more for this sport than anyone has ever done for any other sport ever. basketball is the new soccer, only instead of the world's best talent being spread throughout 5 or 6 different leagues, they're all right here in the NBA. the future is so, so bright.

If these FT stats reflect actual improvement and not merely a temporary hot streak, then I will be very gruntled.  Of course, if the 3PT stats are also the new norm, then I prefer last season's Luka.

i just saw his career FT% last night and thought, "he's too good for that, he's got to get that higher." for anyine as good as luka, you really only miss FTs when you lack concentration. i'm guessing that he'll be around/above 80% moving forward.

This is probably a better topic for the season thread, but I can't remember when there was this much talent around the league, and especially young talent.

So many good players under 25 years old -- Luka, Ja, Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Trae Young, the 3(!) guys in Cleveland, Zion if he can stay healthy, SGA, Cade Cunningham, Lamelo, Scottie Barnes, etc.  And that doesn't even include this year's rookie class that is looking really good -- Banchero is off to a great start and so is Mathurin. Hell, Houston has two guys that could be special.

Don't really like him but hard to ignore the greatness.  Better than Lebron at the same age?

At first glance I thought that was a silly suggestion but it's not the craziest debate.

The answer is no, mainly because of era differences and adjustments. Luka is posting crazy numbers but so is everyone nowadays. I don't think Luka at 23 in 2008 equals LeBrons production on both ends of the floor.

Mavs may miss playoffs...  wtf

Luka probably needs some time off though, so this might be what's best in the long run especially if Mavs keep #10 pick in 1st Rd of the 2023 NBA Draft.

If you're playing best 2 out of 3 Luka would beat dirk. Dirk had no post game yet nor could he guard Luka at this point. And dirk would only be shooting jumpers.

#631
Game of horse who wins?
eta: let’s stipulate that dirk can’t just keep shooting free throws. 
This one's easy, Dirk.
#632

Luca was dominant from the start. I recall Dirk taking some years to really get to where he ended up. 

#633

anyone else watching this preseason game from dubai?  we're down 17 at the half.  you can stream it on mavs.com.

 

- timmy hasn't seen the floor.

- williams can't hit a 3.

- lively and luka had a great pnr resulting in an alley oop.

- dwight is still who we know he is.

- our defense is still putrid.

After reaching 10,000 career points, Luka Dončić has qualified for the all-time PPG leaderboard. He currently ranks 3rd behind MJ and Wilt 🔥

Luka Dončić just posted a Game Score of 64.0!That is the 2nd highest score in our database, behind only Michael Jordan in 1990 🤯

 

#637

Luka scored 73 points tonight and yet still didn’t account for at least half of his team’s points.

That says a lot about today’s NBA.

luka went off vs NYK, it was awesome. yeah, they were shorthanded, but he just took that as an excuse to totally dominate with an added level of flair. exhibit A:

"I don’t want to leave Denver... If Luka gets pissed off in Dallas, he can come."Nikola Jokic says he'd be open to teaming up with Luka Doncic but only on the Nuggets.(Translated by @MiroslavCuk )

Sounds good to me!
