No Luka... I remember the first time they came to Detroit, and he was unavailable.

No Luka = I'll laugh a little if we lose. I might not be surprised enough though. I'm starting to come to terms with things even if we might have a bright future.

Based on the line (8.5), I'm guessing it's not certain that Luka's out.

Although, with as much as we suck, you never know.

He’s currently listed as questionable.

Houston were missing their 3 best players, and we lost at home.

I think this is the only way Luka can rest -- sitting out against the worst teams.

We beat them with Luna playing last time. But we have to keep the tank going, need the worst record if we can get it.

no Hami, no Saddiq

Damn.... I would be SO surprised if we win... Luka is playing, too.

They said on pre-game as the 29th ranked defense we'd be happy keeping Luka under 40 and Lindsey Hunter couldn't contain his laughter. That was great lol

This looks to be a long, long game. Oh boy.

I'm glad Lindsey Hunter is on the show... For the rest of the year? Tim can be really funny at times, too. Mickey (throws a lot of music references out there - big Pink Floyd fan like me!)

Bey's % on that Tatum-like side step 3 has gotta be under 10%. He does a good job creating the separation - if he actually learns to make that shot it'd be a he'll of a weapon.

Luka remembers losing to the Pistons, so he made sure to play tonight, and crush the Pistons like a squealing pig.

He's 36% on catch and shoot 3s and he's 26.1% on threes after taking one dribble.

Yeah, but that doesn't tell us about the specific shot I'm talking about.

Anyway, nice move by Duren.

You add Bojan to the Mavs, and to me, they become favorites in the West. Call me crazy, but adding that level of weapon alongside Luka would be insane. Bojan would easily average 20+ there as well.

zeebneeb · Post #16 » by **zeebneeb** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 1:55 am

Hell, imagine duren on that Mavs team as well. Man.

Post #17 » by **Cowology** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 1:57 am

Amazing we're up after the way we started. Mavs looking a lil sloppy outside of Luka.

Well, it would appear the pig squealing is postponed until the second quarter.

Ivey has been noticeably better running the team/distributing in the last 5 games or so, you can see some growth in his game starting to form.
