How can you not give the MVP to Luka?

Lmao, Luka not giving up the ball until Kidd called a challenge. Was a good defense though, just bad call.

I thought Luka got ball, but after that he grazed Whitmore's forearm, Mavs lucky refs didn't catch that on the replay

Rockets and Cavs are on the verge of a huge collapse in their game

"Putting the D back in Dallas" they said, meanwhile they give up 100+ pts in the 3rd Q

Before today, they had the longest streak of holding teams under 107 since Memphis did during the 2021-2022 season.

These refs in the Mavs game are the worst. Landale just tackled Gafford with no call.

can't you see the other stuff too?
just now, he stayed on the floor after he didn't get the call

he loses his man to backdoor cuts, makes alot of defensive mistakes, lapses in judgment
Luka is incredible! but Jokic has been better

the "historical" stuff is overstated, he's leading the league in usage etc.

the other guy is "ridicilous" too, it happens..he'll finish 2nd, not like everone's blind to what he's been doing :)

Usually not one to complain about this but holy hell Luka has got to be the number one ref whiner in NBA history. He whines after getting FTs on garbage pump n bumps. Insane.

Tyler Hero needs to be lights out offensively to be a usable player. He's getting cooked by TJ off the dribble, getting sealed in the post by Toppin/Siakam.

Cam Whitmore is such a fun player. Still pissed we took JHS over him.

The rockets are fouling on every play more then half of them should’ve fouled out by now.
