Luka Dončić Discussion - Year 6

[Archx]

The fact he's also battling a guy who is in conversation for GOAT level peak isn't helping him.

Indeed. I'm not sure voters would give him the MVP even if Mavs finish in top5 or even top4, that's how good Jokic's advance numbers are. Though Luka does have great numbers aswell, but just proves it more how good Jokic is. But like you said, if this team was consistent and no major injuries, i think Luka would have won it.

Next season is going to be spicy. With full off season and hopefully new improved additions on the guard/wing positions. That team will have (dare i say) finals potential?

Doncic after last game :"Kyrie is Batman and i'm Robin" .

He seems really love Irving in and out of the court, their chemistry is improving every game.

Bye bye casual fans

We will win the MVP this year... Better than Dirk? First win a ring then we can talk about him and Dirk

Gotta win a ring in a Mavs uniform first.

Dirk lead the Mavs through Lakers who were 2x defending champs, swept them, then beat OKC Durant, Westbrook, Harden then Miami Lebron Wade Bosh. Ridiculous and he was the best player in the entire playoffs that year.

Luka is officially the player of the month in the West! Also, Brunson is player of the month in East.

What happens if Mavs are 4th and Nuggets are 3rd at the end?
I think there is no way Luka should not win MVP in that case

Luka is officially the player of the month in the West! Also, Brunson is player of the month in East.

Congrats to both of them.
Brunson needed out and it shows for his own good. I can only be happy for him.

why does Luka have bleeding knees in the last couple of games

[Mavrelous]

Luka has broken double digits in box plus minus, exactly 10.0, one of the best "basic" all-in-one stats, this is his career high.
Here is how it's calculated for those interested.

[blueberrysticky]

went to the mavs/rockets game and I have to say luka might need a few games off in addition to the week long play-in rest. His knees were bloodied and he basically was telling kyrie during timeouts "imma need you to take this one b/c i'm out of gas". Him walking around outside of game action showed visible fatigue knee pain.

on a side note. Luka at the start of the game needs to not get frustrated by dillon and/or an non-call on first play. After he lost the ball he spent the rest of the first quarter basically talking about that 1 play. I think kyrie said in a post-game interview how he wish he could have better warned the team how a Ime Udoka coached team will come out.

While it was good entertainment to see luka/dillon constantly bickering at each other Luka has to be careful of it letting teams like the Rockets using it to jump start to early leads.

I rewatched some HL from EuroBasket 2017 when Slovenia win the Championship and i see that that team had a lot of similitudes with Mavs 2023/24 roster.

Luka(18yo OMG) - Luka
Dragic - Irving
Blazic - Exum
Muric - DJJ
Anthony Randolph - PJ
Vidmar - Gafford
Prepelic - THJ ( i hope he can be our Prepelic)

After this **** performance Luka can say bye bye to MVP. Well done.
