They're going to start getting some wins here soon with how the schedule this month looks. But each game they piss away like the last two just makes it harder down the stretch to even make the playoffs.

Good news is that Maxi looked great out there on defense. Rusty on offense, but that will come. Just hope these guys can stay healthy the rest of the year so they can have a chance.

Im with ya on that man!!! I was talking to my buddy last night about this. It seems like the Nuggets just don't want to play MPJ for some reason. When he gets his opportunities he shines and he would help the Mavs with scoring and rebounds in one package.

MPJ was on record saying he didn't want to disrupt the team's chemistry since coming back so he's O.K. with his current role. Shows alot of poise and leadership on his part.

He's just saying what he has to say. He's not okay with that role, nor should he be. No way he gets traded to the Mavs though. They have nothing to offer. But I love his game.

Terrible ending but if you watched the game you had to come away feeling positive about the next few weeks.

Defensively they will be much better witH the full lineup. Looks like KP got some rhythm back in the second half and hit some big shots down the stretch. Richardson played well on both sides.

Chris Paul played lights out all game and Booker shot lights out in the second half. It happens but this is the team they were supposed to be. 15 winnable games in a row now they need at least 10.

Im sure he's not really happy with the role but Im glad to see he is saying the right things and showing some leadership as well.

Yeah I doubt he gets traded to the Mavs as well, just a little wishful thinking on my part.

Random thought...Blake Griffin be an AMAZING addition this offseason. Pretty sure his contract is up in 2022.

I second the emerald if you can swing it. Card looks great.

It's worth 1k more if you can spend that much. The Absolute uncirculated is a nice card too but the emerald luka could be a collection centerpiece for most people.

I’m writing the season off just stay healthy Luka and do your thing. He’s playing great just no help.

I honestly don't get it. Coming into the season this felt like a team that would be very fun to watch. They're getting back to fully healthy now though so maybe they start putting things together.

It was clear last night that Maxi was actually the most missed guy in January. He crashes the boards and hustles on defense every possession. The combination loss of Maxi and DFS just crushed the team on defense and rebounds the month of January.

Now if KP can at least be serviceable and JRich can play like last night more often, the Mavs will be back in the playoff picture pretty quickly.

They looked A LOT better last night at full strength.
Not sure why people are calling for Carlie's head right now, who else are they going to get right now?

I posted this back in July and got flamed for it. I still stand by this. Luka is definitely a great player that will put up big triple double stats, but does anyone actually think he has what it takes to win a title? He is the shiny new toy still but with more and more losses, that shine will start to wear off.

Combination of poor play and dropping prices. People are looking for scapegoats. I agree, they looked a lot better. And frankly I expect KP to keep improving, especially from 3. He is shooting a career worst from 3 so we can obviously expect that to improve. He is also marking career lows in steals and blocks, that should also improve. This team is missing Seth Curry's limited but reliable play.

If comparing 21 years old Luka vs Prime Westbrook (26-28).. then yeah, I say they are about the same.

Luka did more with less last year than Westbrook did his whole career. And it was his 2nd year @ 20 years old.
