Hope he plays!

If she wants to potentially meet him you should try contacting their media team. Probably not everyday they get a 93-year-old going to her first nba game just to see Luka.

RogerGodahell · 12-12-2022, 08:41 PM

True, they may give you court side seats. Might even get to meet Luka.

KhalDrogo · 12-12-2022, 09:10 PM

This team disgusts me. 15 threes in the first quarter. Where is the coaching? Or are the Mavs outside of Dinwiddie and Luka that limited that they literally can’t do anything but catch and shoot threes?

jbmm161 · 12-12-2022, 09:29 PM

Little off topic but does anyone PC Dirk in this thread? His autos are always over a few hundred bucks and some of them get way up there.

Wanted to start a small PC of him but do you think it’s worth it based on his current prices?
Does he compare price wise to similar HOFer or more because of being from overseas?
Does he get a HOF bump and then 4 or 5 years after prices drop?

The answer is yes they are that limited. They live and die by the 3 point shot more than any other team. When they're on they look good but when they're off they fall into a deep hole and rely on them to dig themselves out because they've got nothing else.

Fortunately they started hitting them after a putrid shooting first quarter and got lucky on a ton of extra shot attempts. I am glad for the win but it's a terrible strategy unfortunately it's the way the team is built.

Saw this earlier tonight and i couldn't agree more.

KhalDrogo · 12-12-2022, 11:18 PM

40.7% on 54 threes and you only win by 7. Tells you everything. At least they shot well from the line tonight.

KhalDrogo · 12-14-2022, 07:38 PM

Not a great matchup. The rebounding is going to be scary.

Cringing thinking about tonight's game.

Cavs are terrible on the road and Luka's going to rip us a new one.

Mavs fans, prepare to see a team that doesn't know how to win away from home.

RogerGodahell · 12-14-2022, 08:53 PM

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Kleber is out, basically the only inside defender they've got. The twin towers are going to have a field day with the Mavs interior defense. Green is also out, their peskiest perimeter defender.

You woulda thought the same thing with the Cavs 2 night ago against the Spurs.

They lost. It was gross. Josh Richardson tore us up.

Surely you were trolling with this, right?

Mavs kryptonite is a big who is athletic, rebounds, and can defend. Cavs have two of them. Horrible matchup.

No... the Cavs have been absolutely terrible on the road.

1-8 over their last 9 road games, including last game vs the Spurs. Only win was a close one vs Detroit.

This Dallas performance is embarrassing so far. But beware, the Cavs are also very bad at closing.

KhalDrogo · 12-14-2022, 10:22 PM

Can anybody explain why Frank is even on this roster let alone allowed to play meaningful minutes? Two missed easy layups. Terrible foul to close the half. Just a typical Frank game. The number of scrubs on this roster is unbelievable.

c’mon jinx

al3xmac10 · 12-14-2022, 10:33 PM

on the brighter side, Bullock has found his stroke.

al3xmac10 · 12-14-2022, 10:44 PM

Luka heating up - portends him spraying to their shooters in the endgame.

KhalDrogo · 12-14-2022, 10:52 PM

This team just isn’t fun to watch. Miss Brunson.

jrnelson · 12-15-2022, 04:42 PM

Not sure I have seen it mentioned anyway, but Luka just did this again for the second time in his career!

Twenty straight games (and counting) with at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, the most since the *1976–77 ABA–NBA merger. Previously held by Michael Jordan with 18 consecutive games.

He only has one game this season he hasn't accomplished the 20,5,5 and that was when he scored a season high 44 pts 5 Reb 3 Ast vs. Orlando on Oct. 30.

*Oscar Robertson, had 29 straight in 1964-65 and 25 straight in 1963-64.

KhalDrogo · 12-15-2022, 04:45 PM

Pretty sure the first streak he had was broken when he sprained his ankle a few minutes into a game in the 2019 season.

KhalDrogo · 12-15-2022, 05:18 PM

Maxi out a couple months. So the only interior defenders we’re left with are Powell, Wood, and McGee. So three guys who are minus defenders, two of them being offensive black holes. Brilliant.

Sux! Mavericks’ Maxi Kleber Tears Right Hamstring, Out Indefinitely! His season might be over.

jrnelson · 12-16-2022, 05:05 PM

My latest Luke pickup,

2019 Obsidian Tunnel Vision /99, Pop 16

Orange /35

Green /25

I already had the orange and green, they looks so good next to each other!

punctilious · 12-16-2022, 10:18 PM
