Motherfucker!!!
Goddamn being in the West right now.
I bet we lose Luka.
Lose Luka??? Whaddya mean?
No way in hell he gets traded, you mean when he’s a FA in 26-27???
Suns look seriously scary to me. Lakers got better, but damn the Suns man.
Would love to see a Boston v Bucks and Suns v Dallas CFs
Luka now unhappy…

He sold Nash years ago and still regrets it to this day. Luka ain't going anywhere

Getting rid of Finney-Smith will prove to be the Mavs downfall. Sure he wasn’t averaging big numbers but it was his play on the defensive end and more importantly his attitude which is sorely lacking.
As amazing as Kyrie is on the offensive end, players like Brunson and Dinwiddie are better fits for how Luka plays.
Luka is a diva no doubt about it, damn talented but is high maintenance because Kidd wants to play a certain way but Luka’s style is not right for it.

@ACT-Crusader I wanted to love Luka but he makes it so tough with all his whining. He makes LeBron look like Tim Duncan

The Nets shut down Ben Simmons for the season. He is the ultimate wage thief
Where is that 100x upvote button when I need it
He's lucky he plays in the NBA with its guaranteed money contracts

He didn’t want to pay Brunson either. If we play the rewind button, that’s where things started going wrong for this year.

I do sort of get why too. For me in Dallas Brunson isn’t a $25+ mill a season player. At the Knicks he is because he gets to do and also has to do so much more.
I think the biggest mystery is the whole handling of Christian Wood.

They should have known this when they traded for him. Didn't he just recover from back trouble with Philly?

You talking about 8-teams-in-9-seasons Wood? Maybe there’s something in that?

Not sure what you are getting at here. Harden wanted out and they needed to find a way to get him out or else they would’ve had no one.
The nerve issue came back when he was playing with the Nets - hence his limited ability to move.

Is that a statement win for the Celtics?
Or just another a regular season anomaly?

It's a heck of a statement, and lights out for any MVP hope Giannis was clinging to. Boston are now just 2 games back, have the easier run in, and and hold the tiebreak over the Bucks
Hell of a line from Tatum, 40 & 8 on 12-18 shooting and zero turnovers.

Mavs suck. Who could have thought that adding Kyrie would make them even worse at defense?
Right, I just watched the 2nd half of the Mavs v Hawks. And you know what? I have fallen right off the Luka wagon.
Like all the way off, I'm waving it goodbye into the sunset, I might never again get on it.
Today Kyrie was in one of those moods. In the 4th quarter alone, he had 14 points with only 1 missed shot, including the last 6 Dallas points including a sweet move for the tying shot with 35 seconds to go. Brought them all the way back.
Atlanta come down and score on a lucky tip to go up 2 (yeah Dallas still can't rebound)
So 20 seconds to tie or go ahead, you go to the hot hand right? Or at least involve him in the play somehow, right?
Nah
Luka demands the ball at the inbounds, dribbles the clock to 3 seconds, makes a shit drive right and throws a bail out cross court pass to Wood on the wing who is well covered.
It was so fucking selfish, I couldn't believe it. Weak coaching from Kidd too.
And of course Luka whined all game and had multiple defensive lapses (did anyone hear Lowe tell the story of a scout telling him that Luka is the worst transition defender in the HISTORY of the league??!!)
Yeah, Kyrie is an odd guy and not a great defender. But this is Luka's team. How about he turns up to the season opener not needing to "play himself into shape". How about he sets the tone on D with some fucking effort? How about he gets back on D after a miss instead of whining at the refs every single fucking time? How about he show some class and reward a teammate when he's hot and give his team the best chance of winning a game?
Sorry Luka, I'm out on you (I'm sure you'll be devastated to hear that).
As an aside, how come the Mavs never run a Luka-Kyrie pick and roll at the top? Surely that would create some awesome matchup issues, they can both pop or roll to the rim, you can't cheat under. I haven't watched many of their games this year so maybe they do run that a bit, but they sure didn't today - it's all penetrate and kick, over and over
-
@voodoo the irony of that sequence is that if Luka allows the ball to go to Kyrie to make a play or at least wait for him to get the double team, Luka probably gets the ball back for the shot.
He’s cracked the sads big time and prime whingy Luka is back in full effect.
Kyrie is Mr 4th quarter. For everything that is warped and weird, that boy knows how score in the final 12.
