Mavs are 1 game away from the Western Conference Finals. They’re battling the best team in the NBA. Not even going to lie, I didn’t see this coming. I thought they needed another piece. I’m so proud of my squad. Let’s close this shit out
@dallasmavs
Marcus Morris and Montrezl Harrell were playing dirty as hell to try and stop Luka. Now that they’re gone, hopefully we’ll get a great series without the extra stuff.
If Ja Morant beat the Mavs,
@KendrickPerkins
would’ve came on twitter like, “Ja served Luka up a 20 piece lemon pepper wing dinner. All flats”. But Luka cooked them boys, so you know it’ll be silence.
Clippers are shooting 9/28 (28.0%) within 6 feet against Dereck Lively this series. That is 31.4% lower than expected based on their FGA—largest differential of any player in the playoffs.
Tiny sample, but D-Live is making a monster impact around the rim as a rookie.
Luka scores 73:
“There’s no defense in the NBA”
“ 70 is the new 50”
“NBA is a pickup game now”
When y’all favorite players have big games, where’s that same energy?
Jason Kidd went to Jaden Hardy late in the series over vets like THJ and Dante Exum. He had 3 nice dimes tonight and a couple big buckets. I’m so proud of that kid. Fearless
I can watch basketball games with anybody. But the Mavs, I much rather watch alone. I don’t like comments, questions, nothing. Let me chill and watch my squad. Am I the only one?? Lol
Telling me the Mavs only have 1 championship will never be an insult. I watched my favorite player (Dirk) have one of the greatest playoff runs in the history of basketball.
Watching Dwight Powell play is comedy. He’s so bad lol. Then you remember that Luka has been going to war with him as the starting Center for his entire career. Then it’s not so funny.
If Bron really wants another championship, opt out of the final year of that deal and sign with Dallas for the taxpayer exception. His net worth is $1.5billion. He’s not hurting for money lol. Come hoop with your boy Kyrie and your favorite player, Luka.
Mavs just running Luka/Green two man game. Kyrie just out there chillin. Not even getting the basketball. This loss is 100% on Luka. They cut the lead down to 1 and Kyrie never touched the ball again.
Stop trying to trade Jalen Brunson. We have been complaining about the lack of ball handlers for years. Now we have 3 with Luka, Brunson, and Dinwiddie. Let them cook.
Giannis has Dame.
Jokic has Murray.
KD has Booker.
Luka has Kyrie.
Tatum has Brown.
LeBron has AD.
Embiid has Maxey.
Kawhi has PG.
Who does Curry have?
When Mavs lose, y’all want to bring up Porzingis. That giraffe is not stopping Booker from scoring and Brunson has a better post game that him. Leave his ass in Washington and move on.
The
@SacramentoKings
passed on Luka for Marvin Bagley. Then they traded their pick to Dallas that ended up being Jaden Hardy. They may never do business with Dallas again 😂
Just saw a crazy stat on ESPN. Luka is averaging the most PPG scored + assisted (57.4) in NBA history. The most since Nate “Tiny” Archibald in the 1972-1973 season.
A small trade that helps both teams. Utah needs depth at Center and Pat Bev can start next to Luka. It keeps Dinwiddie in that 6th man role. Dorian wouldn’t have to guard everybody by himself with the starters.
Keyshawn Johnson tried to diminish the Mavs win because Jimmy Butler only scored 12 points. Who do you think held him to 12 points??? Dude is a straight idiot 😂
2 conference finals in 3 years. Put some respect on Luka’s name!!!
And put some respect on Jason Kidd’s name. However y’all feel about him, he deserves credit for bringing 2 completely different rosters to the WCF.
Shaq has enough money to go do something else. Get his hating ass off these basketball shows. He doesn’t even try anymore. He offers nothing besides telling you how great he was.
OKC fans can’t be this slow. Like there’s just no way. Intentionally fouling Lively multiple times and then complaining about the difference in free throws. Unbelievable lol.
Clippers fans calling the Mavs a poverty franchise is the funniest shit ever. I’ve actually witnessed the Mavs go to 2 finals and get a ring. What the hell have the Clippers done? The best thing they’re known for was that “lob city” era. Congratulations on the dunks.
Why are so many people upset about the Mavs move? They just opened up a $17M TPE, the $12M MLE, and got Lively. Dumping Bertans just to move back two spots was a smart move.
Nightmare season for the Grizzlies.
They are best off just tanking the rest of this year and adding as good of a draft pick as possible (or opening up trade possibilities) to what should be a very good roster returning next season.
I’ve been watching basketball since I was like 4. I’m 34. Luka just put on one of the greatest basketball performances I’ve ever seen in my life.
60 points
21 rebounds
10 assists
Unbelievable!!
After watching this play again, if Luka doesn’t look at Dorian before hitting Dinwiddie with the no look pass, Horford would’ve made that defensive rotation. Such a smart decision by Luka.
