I own a lot of Luka but actually watching him play is so…underwhelming.

Maybe they’ll get hot for the playoffs, but seeing him matched up against Ja is just…depressing. Imagine these two teams matched up in the first round…would Dallas even get a game?

They’ve split the series so far, and are up by 1. Great post.

Cool I hope they win this game and go deep in the playoffs. Would certainly help my collection.

Now point me back in the direction of the Kool-Aid.

Why? Because Ja is faster and on a better team (they went 10-2 while Ja was out)? Luka is the better player.

They both turn it up though when an important game is on the line though.

Cool

Great second half for Luka. Just dominated the entire Grizz team. No dumb 3s either.

Great team defense. All starts there. Good rebound win after that abomination in NYC.

Spoke way too soon bud LOL. Luka & the Mavs are dominating them in the 2nd half, up 24 pts with under 5 min to go. They put the clamps down on Memphis and Luka showing why he's been 1st team All-NBA

Lol… close game. The grizzlies are looking like the favorites. Great insights!

Is Luka considered a good player again after the Mavs have won 7 of their last 8 against some really good teams? It's pretty remarkable how quick people like to change their opinions after Luka came into the season as the favorite for MVP.

I’m hoping people still think he’s a fat loser so some of these nice RCs can fall to more reasonable prices. He looks like he’s playing 75-80% out there. Good luck when he’s back to 100%.

Mavs need to make sure they follow-up last night with an easy W tonight. Cannot do what Charlotte just did.

When you talk money it can always be your demise. I have sold off 1 Luka PSA 10 to a friend. I have a lot of them. There are simply not enough long term people in the hobby, in my opinion. I was and will be a long hold on Luka because he is 22 and is a dominant player. When he turns it up he reminds people why he is The Don! “You too small” technical!

Luka with his 40th career triple double now holds 50% of the triple doubles in the Mavs franchise history.

Exactly. I am not putting him on the same level at the goats of the game, but none of them were doing what he has done at the start of their career and they all struggled winning titles. 25yo Luka will be far different and better than 22yo Luka. Patience.

This should be a nice game for Luka to work on his 3.

Gary Harris would be a nice piece on the Mavs. I know he's on the trade block, wonder what it would take to get him.

Mavs need to keep the Luka/Brunson duo together. Don’t think he’s reached his potential yet.

I sadly don’t have the chance to watch his games often. Are they better off without KP?

Guys, I get more encouraged by games like tonight where he puts up a modest (for him) 23-9-3 and lets his team get the W then when he tries to do it all and they lose.

Better to be shooting for playoff success.

Yeah - the "who the f#@% are you?" was funny. That guy must rub people the wrong way. I liked Giannis headbutting him.
