This is Luka's team even without him. I am happy with being up but it just feels different. Losing to Boston in the Finals, you would want Luka there for the rematch.

Also, we are down 4 people if you include Mavericks future HOFer Dwight Powell. Please put some respect on his name.


Yeah alright so 4 real key pices including an all-nba player who averages 26/12/4 with two blocks.

You guys are one playmaker away from being real contenders.


I was making a joke about Dwight Powell that clearly you didn't get lol. We miss Luka that's all. Mavericks didn't want an Anthony Davis with PJ on the team. We were fine with PJ.

The league got their wish and it makes sense. Because even as I watch this game, I am getting excited to see how the rest of the season rounds out for the Mavericks. I will also now be forced to now watch the Lakers to watch our boy Luka dominate.


What if Mavs face the Lakers in the playoffs? For who you rooting for then ?

100 point triple double averaged by Luka and Mavericks win the series by a combined 7 points. The 7 points are tribute to Lukas number.

21 years old i feel the sky is the limit for him.


Was amused to hear some media commentators like Bill Simmons say the Mavs should have asked for Knecht instead of Mad Max C, but in a small sample size so far, the Mavs have been justified (with that component of the trade)

Credit to you Lakers fans as well, you guys sure knew what a good talent Christie is.

If AD comes back firing and healthy for the Mavs, the Luka trade wasn't as lopsided for the Lakers as many think


Knecht is the more well rounded offensive player but as an overall basketball player? Christie affects the game in more ways whilst being 3 years younger.

It sucks that Dallas wanted him but im also really happy for him. Because he'll get to fully develop.

Still standing by Dallas needs just another playmaker and they're legit contenders imo. Right now it's depending on Kyrie and Spencer?

To create on offense.

Pritchard with that Chris Paul "cuts the lead to 40" performance. Too little too late, lil gup.

That’s your takeaway? Bench players playing with effort after the starters couldn’t be bothered?
