Game Thread: Mavs come to town for NBA Rivalry Week

[Jamaaliver]

The team is in shambles. The franchise is an embarrassment.

The best player on the team gets overlooked at every turn.

The 2nd best player is on the way out the door.

And now Luka comes to town...

Time for Trae to remind folks who he is.

At least, it will be a tired Luka on the second night of a back-to-back... but not sure if it change the problem, Hawks are their own problem

Nah, Mavs have been in town since Thursday Morning.

They'll be operating on 2 days rest for this one.

Our last 3 games:
Cavs on 3 days rest
Kings on 3 days rest
Warriors on 8 days rest
Now Dallas on 2 days rest.
Meanwhile, this will be 5 games in 8 days including a west coast trip .
Thanks NBA.

Unsure if this is real...but looks like Luka's conditioning has suffered since having a kid.

(Like, did he carry the baby himself for nine months?)

That's gotta be photocopied, no?

Luka twisted his ankle bad against Phoenix so we'll see how he looks.

Luka made us his bitch.

Bad percentages shooting.

Right, I thought that they played on Thursday, not Wednesday

Unsure if this is real...

Looks like this picture was 100% photoshopped, and that the ankle twist was fake too... at least I hope because if he scored 73pts on one foot, our defense on big guard was more exposed than I imagined

And even if there are chances that a team can succeed on the same level with Luka or Trae as PG, him scoring like that in ATL, not only VS ATL, just made our front office look a bit more stupid than they already look

Murray's -21 Plus/Minus (worst of the team by far) certainly not gives him a win here, but gives it to Quin...

I've watched over a 1000 regular season Hawks games the last 25 years...this one might be the most memorable.

Terrible defense, + p!ssed off Luka = All Time Great Performance.

Hawks were right there at the end, and that's a great sign.

At this point in my fandom, I seek entertainment more than anything. And this game was indeed entertaining.

STUFF OF LEGEND!!!
