Well, the Mavs are playing great offensively right now and pretty good defensively too! :)

Only disappointing thing is Luka's shot selection. His last 2 shots from 2 were bad fade away from way too far. Not sure why he's taking those in a game like this. It's a shame, because he started the game hot, but couldn't sustain it and ends up having a slighty below average game offensively (for him). Did he even get to the rim in the second half? Is it because of a lack of energy? I was hoping for a great game after that first quarter. It's been so long since his last triple double too.

I think they wore them down. Nets just too depleted tonight. Nice to see the Mavs take advantage.

Great game except on the boards where Brooklyn has 14 offensive boards.

Interior defense was the most glaring improvement

Nice defense in the 2nd half. Good win overall.

Defense was better. Even against inferior players, their rotations looked more organized. Fewer blowups.

I thought Luka played some of the best defense I have seen him play.

Luka “you know” Doncic posts empty stats of 27/6/7/2 +21 and a win

He was taking it easy. I dont have a problem with him taking those shots when the Mavs are up 20 and basically in control of the game. Nets were never close to winning this game so all good.

It was like i thought. he was a non factor with empty stats. as i said, we cant let the role guys beat us and they did. Nash coached us to a loss. they should have let luka chuck to 40 points and focus on stopping everyone else. oh well, on to the next one

2-1 in a three game stretch of Boston, Philadelphia, and New Jersey. Not bad.

You sound salty.
We'll need you to explain how Luka was a non factor when he had the 2nd best +/- at +21.

I'm pretty sure you're not this dumb when it comes to basketball and i'm convinced you're baiting or trolling. But still....

Luka in FEB. 30/7/8 ...48%FG 44% 3pt on 7.7 shots per game 77% FT.... 8W 4L.

Some of those games were without KP aswell. So, how do you stop role players if he's giving them open looks? You pray they miss and play bad defense. That was Mavs biggest weakness this season and obviously missing half of the team for 3 weeks in January.

When it comes to this game, Nets scored 34 points in the 2nd half. Even if Mavs struggled shooting, their defense carried them. I can't possibly imagine how he's producing empty stats with all advance stats going in his favour aswell? I never understood how people just say stuff like that without any reasonable explanation. Maybe you should listen to what Nash and Harden said about him after the game.

to me its his camp... it has been years but i still hate that older brother of his. i remember back then hoping an anchor for nyk would call him out on TV and say stuff like "let the trainers handle KP and stop mooching off your younger brother"

thats what i want to know.. (hope someone with inside knowledge can share)
if he obeys Casey Smith and training staff or not. if he was given a list of things to accomplish and did he disregard them like he did in NY.
