Our offense without Luka looks pathetic….

Really good. Reminds me of Hedo Turkoglu but probably higher potential.
As a German he makes me happy. Maybe score a little less today though

Luka seems bothered by Orlando's size and is settling for 3s again. I do think he's getting hammered and not getting calls too though.

Well, MAvs defense just can't stop Wagner, double him and he'll make the right pass, let him go 1 on 1 and he'll score, ORL turnovers put them in a bad position, Mavs are really inefficient today, I hope they improve in the 2nd half, because ORL won't turn it over 12 times again.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

The way is to defend him 1v1 and give a little space imo. He's a much better passer and finisher at the rim then he is a shooter. Hopefully Mavs defense adjusts in 2nd half.

Our offense with Luka is looking pathetic today.
It's getting ugly fast when someone too ball dominant is having an off shooting night. 6/20... Yish.
This offense is becoming a parody of itself.
Here's the the type of jokes that will soon come : "Luka will find a way to dribble 25 seconds per possession."
He already has 9 3PA. Not something anyone wants to see. I thought that he was on the right track in the past few games and now he's just settling again.

THJ is so frustrating. Chucking every chance he gets.

Not looking good. All of Lukas shots are short.

What an embarrassing fourth quarter. This team desperately needs another playmaker. When Lukas shot is off we're a bottom 3 team in this league.

Not sure how people can blame anyone but Luka in this game. Maybe Kidd for enabling him.like that. It just went way over the top. So many bad shots, just shooting again and again in iso. I disliked watching this game.
Hey Kidd, how about trying to involve others? I don't care if they aren't talented offensively, you just can't win 1 vs 5. This is barely basketball. I rather lose as a team.
Wood is talented offensively, but he is barely used in this offense.
9/29... It looks like a bad joke.
87pts.

Loss to an inferior team on the first night of a b2b not good.
Likely L tomorrow based on how they handle b2bs.

Doncic playing like he doesn't care entire game. Easily the only player to blame for this loss. Probably won't be different vs Wizards.

Bad Luka game, automatic loss, thank you Nico and Kidd for thinking this team doesn't need another play maker, we were just overreacting, clearly the team is fine without one.

Lot of the loss is on Luka but also getting outrebounded by over 20. As always, team just doesn't play hard against bad teams, especially when they are missing their best player.

Luka is bad today...I'm really starting to regret buying the league pass...the ofense is soo predictable...i know the team is limited ,but it's just Luka or Spencer dribling the ball for 20 seconds shooting a stepback 3 or driving into the lane and lay it up or kick it to an open man

Re: RS 22/23 - Mavs @ Magic (Nov. 9, 7PM EST)
Luka was awful tonight. Worst player on the court.
But this team in a Luka bad day (and without Wood) is this... One of the worst team of the league.
The others are role players who can't create nothing in the offensive end (except iso Dinwiddie).
In those games we can see how is useless having Bullock, DFS and Kleber on the court in the same time.
3 puppets on the 3 point line.

I really missed Wood tonight.
