Luka vs Kawhi is always a fun one to watch

You forgot the Raptors. They're going for 4 straight.

Is Jokic playing?

[ejftw]

Norman Powell has been in a tear.

Also, Kenrich, please give me a dozen fantasy points, had to add him last second to replace Yannis... smh

[PeteyPablo]

Doncic one tech away from being ejected

Latest Nuggets update I saw says Jokic, Murray, Bones all questionable.

Raps are always winners in my book.

Ball don’t lie Luka!

Dinwiddie is going straight at PG with some success, come on man

And after they called him for what looked like a phantom foul to send him to the bench… Make up call more than made up for it.

Look at Bertans throwing his pointy elbows with wanton abandon on a D board. Good hustle!

Mavs look much more committed to D so far.

Getting back 2 of 4 best defenders will do wonders for this team.

Luka with 0 assists after the first half, I wonder when's the last time that happened

To be honest I tuned in over halfway through the 2ND Q so I didn't see much of the game, but from what I saw and the highlights they showed, even Luka was running out and contesting hard at the arc, arm out. A lot of it is effort like that, but also it helps when guys do all the right things along the way so that right rotations happen to begins with. Having guys back who make right reads helps everyone. It just takes one mix up by one guy to ripple onto everyone else. Didn't realize Mavs got some D contributors back. Making a big difference.

Commentators literally pointing out on air that the refs are treating Luka with kid gloves so they don't have to eject him.

He had 5 clean passes to completely open guys, they just missed. A bit unfortunate but it does look bad in pure stats.

[Zespetjest]

Luka can't hit an ocean, I would pull him out and get him ready for 4th

[Stribor]

This has to be the worst performance I eve saw from Luka. What is worst it is not only that he looks completely gassed, he also plays dumb - which is really not usual for him. Like someone took his head and replace it with someone elses ...

Still missing Maxi, who is Mavs best rim protector IMO

How long is he gone for again? Mavs may want to shore up some insurance there via trade if he's out for an extended time. Lots of bigs to bang with and go through in both conferences.

You tend to see that more with earlier games. It throws guys off their regular evening-game rhythm. Some of those first games on Christmas Day are a comedy of errors. What a sight lol

[PeteyPablo]

Doncic with a three , then a no call for Kawhi and now feee throws for Doncic
