Would he though? Luka is a hot head himself

I meant that he will calm them down whenever they're being too chaotic on the basketball court.

Loved the balanced scoring tonight.

Kyrie needs to show Luka the way for FTs. Put on a clinic!

Wood’s minutes have dropped each game since returning, but nice scoring burst in first half! Feel like the refs have missed a lot of foul calls when he drives.

Reggie Bullock looks like a completely different player. Cutting. Crashing boards. Shooting with confidence.

We sure we still need Luka?!?!

We aren't huge fans either.

Good win tonight. Kings came out flat and the game really was decided in the 1st. Hopefully they show up tomorrow.

Guys, with a lot of players who can dribble and pass the ball everybody looks great... Even Powell and McGee :lol:

This was the problem with the Luka-DFS-Bullock-Hardaway-Powell (Maxi) lineup... Kyrie and Josh completely change the team.

We still have a lot of ups and downs but i like what i watch.

Oh yes and Kyrie at the FT line is a judgment.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Mavs broadcast either but she was next level haha.

Good game! I'd like to think Luka coming back (probably) should help us hopefully steal the second one too.

Decent game. Hardys 4/5 from 3 probably impresses most

One of them was a sort of step back with less than a second left in the quarter as well.

Think McGee and Powell are just physically stronger matchups for Sabonis and both have played well

McGee seems to play better with Kyrie than Luka. I think I’d really like to see McGee and Green on the floor with Kyrie and I think Hardy would be best used when Luka is on the floor. I really think Wood can play with either.

When they uploaded that first scrimmage footage of Kyrie and the Mavs in LA I think 2 or 3 of the 4 or 5 plays shown on tape were Kyrie linking up with McGee. Found that interesting right away. Looks like there is some merit to it.

EDIT: Wrong take.

Kidd should grab Kyrie and tell him to give up the offensive boards, it's scary each time he does it and gives me flashbacks to him rolling his ankle against the Bucks in the PO 2 years ago.

Kidd changed the offense a bit. A lot more movement and hand offs on top of cutting to the basket. Hardy looked fantastic with those passes and scoring. I hope he continues to get at least 20mpg. "The other fat boy" will have to do a lot of cardio now :lol:

THJ still irritates me. Dude is so poor as a finisher around the rim and still way too hectic with his shooting. Even Bullock is coming slowly around.

This offense will probably be very interesting when Bertans comes back. He loves these type of motion schemes and is probably going to have a ton of open looks anyway.

That's my 1st thought seeing this offense, Bertans will look like 20-21 Duncan Robinson, but it all hinges on Luka buying in

The best 3 game sequence of the season. Luka better hurry up or he loses the starting job. It will be interesting to see the dynamic when Luka returns, the fast pace and passing has been absurdly good.

Stop it Josh

Everyone suddenly is a great passer

The rest was just fine tuning, he showed a willingness to improve. That should have been it. The Mavs are too reluctant to sign their young developing players to a cheap contract.

What do you mean hasn't been signed? He's signed through 23/24. Not sure what the extension eligibility is and when?

He's extention elligible in July.

Ok, so in short the FO hasn't had the ability to offer him one yet? That was also my assumption.
