Another Triple Double by Luka.

I am glad we got Luka instead of Floppy Young.

Bullock has been playing great since THJ got injured and Bullock has been getting minutes.

With everything that went on tonight, 100% agree. I already complained about refs in the last 3 games, but holy **** i can't even explain what was happening in this one.

What a great team win. The refs were horrible most of the night but they kinda let them play in the 4th.

Bullock living up to his contract the last couple of games.

Mavs played 5 on 8 tonight and whole team step up and contributed, one of my favorite games of the season!

Probably the best team W of the season.
Great ball movement and hustle.

Luka >>>>>>>>> Trae

Bullock 20+points again, THJ injury was a bless for him.

Without bigs that a huge W...everytime i see Luka on the floor seems like we can't lose. Help him. Please.

Bullock averaging 20 ppg on 48% from 3 the last 5 games. He's been huge.

Kidd should trust Burke more, Burke can go off, he has the skills, his head isn't screwed right, Kidd should manage him instead of leaving him for emergency minutes.

But how do you play Burke? He's not a playmaker, can hardly make a pass. He's undersized and really bad on defense... How do you justify giving him minutes over Luka or Brunson? The emergence of Bullock and Green, there is simply no room for Burke.

Garbage minutes lead guard, secondary ball handler to Luka who shoots and attacks from the weak side.
His rotations are off, but he can be good defnder on quick guards to run through screens, if he's trusted with minutes, he'll pay back with defense.

Don't forget his defense, and most importantly, plays under control unlike THJ who likes to barrel roll into 3 bodies on a fast break.

He's also a fighter who won't take crap, that held ball was awesome.

It's great to get the win, but the refs still kinda ruined the game for me.

Unpopular opinion here. But Bullock makes THJ expendable.

That fresh contract of THJ looks so bad right now. Out of the season on the first year of a new contract. Cant give you anything on the defensive end. He's this year's Joe Harris and we know the Nets regretted that signing.

I'm not so worried about THJ contract, it's decreasing and last 2years will be just higher than a MLE guy.
He will be a good trade chip for sure.

Why is it unpopular? I said it couple of times already. I'm glad Bullock is finally playing like he's suppose to play, it just shows how dumb of a player THJ really is. When he's bricking shots, he's totally useless. Bullock will at least give you defense.

It's unpopular because we got people on board saying if we trade Luka's friends he will be pissed. THJ is good for about 15 high fives and 5 chest bumps. He's more of a hype man during timeouts at this point. And yes he'll give you nothing on the defensive end but paid way more than Norman Powell or Gary Trent Jr.

So everytime Luka goes for a layup, THJ, Powell and Kleber all hold their hands up mimicing the layup motion. Those guys need to be paid like the Mavs dancers. LMAO
