RS 22/23 - Mavs @ Spurs (Wed, 8:30PM EST)

[dirkules_41]

Luka statpadder, Luka the new WB. Gosh, I get the frustration by how bad this season has been so far but ehi these days too many bad takes on this board.

Luka is playing his far the best RS, but because he didn't click immediately with Kyrie, people are bashing him. Do they really think that he can overnight become good off ball player? Kyrie didn't have problems to adapt because he's playing exactly the same as before, on the other hand Luka is in totally new situation. And even with those problems this trade would have worked out great, if Mavs have had at least decent defensive C. How FO believed that they can pair Luka and Kyrie and don't address holes in D is just mind boggling.

This except add "pre-existing" to holes in D. People pretend like a very average DFS leaving made all the defensive difference when in reality it barely made any.

DFS had very difficult job, if your guards can't stay in front of anyone and your rim protection is not existent, it's very difficult for single defender to do anything. This season was lost with disastrous Mcgee signing.

Meh, don't even respond to that X guy. He's a nutjob. We already established some time ago that he doesn't like the Mavs and he never liked Luka to begin with. Anytime he's here he's fighting with someone. He's like the BostonCouchGM guy from general forums. You can't have any reasonable discussion with him because he will repeat the same BS as he always does.

Trading Luka would be stupid...only teams with assets that could get him are the Thunder ,Houston ,New York...but by trading him you'd get Young talented Player but not superstars and a bunch of late first rounders which are of no use....late picks suck...Mavs have Luka for at least 3 more years,they can start building the team from scratch this offseason...i think they need to build a contender in the next 2 seasons(which Will be hard,but easier if Kyrie resigns...and they fire Kidd)

You need to pick a side and not just to fit your narrative. Prior to Kyrie getting to Dallas, you and the other Luka fans were saying "He's capable of playing with another star, just look at him play with Dragic yada yada". And here's another legitimate star and suddenly you're saying "Do they really think he can overnight become good off ball player?" Cmon man. You flip flop on this topic every time.

The FO has its faults no doubt, but has it ever occurred to you that maybe there was no way to rebuild the team with Kyrie + all the defensive players you wanted all in one week? Who's to say it has to be done in one season? WIll the NBA close down after this season? There will be next season, and the next after that and so on. So its not a finished product. They will ride the season out and assess where they are with Kyrie and if the ceiling got higher. Then they will decide if putting down half a billion dollars on Luka and Kyrie combined is good for business. Then they will decide on what to do next. Again, it doesn't have to happen all in one season. Devin Booker had 19 win seasons prior to getting KD, its not a finished product. Just sit down and watch the games.

They have played only 9 games together. And offensive side wasn't exactly the problem.

Are you sure we have TV in the poor side of Europe?

The official apologist of the Doncic family. Haha Bob is pissed that if his national hero plays with another star, he wont get his 50 point triple doubles anymore.

It's not what I'm saying, it's how it's, in the most crucial part of the season both stars and their coach are watching how their team is slowly but surely falling out of playoffs race.

Where does this "poor" talk come from?

But it's a fact that they only played a few games. And they blew a few of them... so the record could be a bit better.

[Archx]

From reddit.

Today’s Mavs have the same record (34-35) as the 2015-16 team starting Dirk, Wes Matthews, Raymond Felton, DWill, and Parsons

Damn.

The Mavericks are 3 games away from having an 8% chance at Wemby. And also 3 games back from being 4th

What a "spectacular" season has this been so far.

[ejs78]

Now Irving is doubtful.

This is really getting interesting on what they are planning to do ROS.

[Mavrelous]

Like a wise man once said, thigs are **** up and **** like that...

The soreness will last for kyrie.

FO will obviously try to re-sign this nutcase for more headache down the road.
