RS 22/23 - Mavs vs Warriors (Wednesday, 7:30PM EST)

If they lose by only 49, can you still ban him for a month or so?

He's just strangely negative... or tries to provoke other users (report button exists for this). Since he's been following Luka for a long time... he deserves that credit, but there's no doubt a couple of comments are strange and have felt like non starters as far as discussion goes. With that said, many times some bad opinions, negative and others provoking things generates discussion. So hopefully, we are able to ignore some things, engage with others and just co-exist.

Yep. It's weird though. He just comes here to fight. Doesn't like the Mavs and doesn't like Luka. Anytime i see his posts, he is fighting someone, it's quite exhausting.

He's been following Luka since forever. So he must be a fan. It definitely is intriguing that he's been negative most times, for over 4 years, but over that time, he made some normal/important points, even if negative. But yes, some of the previous posts, didn't feel like genuine posts - "they'd lose with Luka" just came off as trolling... just use the report button to document those moments --- users can be board banned if they're just constantly upsetting others.

Luka back. The Mavs will probably lose by 50.

I will make a raise over your comment.

Don't care about Luka coz he will get his number and he is due for a monster game. BUT without Timmy, Mavs will lose this game by default.

[41Dirk41]

Timmy out... Not so bad, he was ice cold.

As long as we see Hardy at 25 min and Frank 5 I'm good.

Another missed game for Luka?

They are 5-10 this season without him. Also, after the MEM game, they now have a negative record when Kyrie plays aswell.

But at least they play faster and defend better, right?

How dumb can you be?
They lose their"best" player who costs them 40M+ in salary and you are supposedly making a point?

You keep forgetting (or are just too dense) that Dallas would get good players and picks if they traded Luka which would make this team better now and would have a brighter future as well. Switch Luka for any all-star player in the league and this team would have a better record then they currently have.

[XTraderXL]

It's funny seeing you guys pick potential playoffs opponent while it's safe to say EVERYONE in the West is not scared of the Mavs and WANT us as their opponent.

Not much else to discuss, since the two best players are either out or questionable recently.

My biggest concern is Luka's confidence level. Clearly Luka has NOT figured out the current roster. I honestly don't think he is deeply injured at the moment, I think he is taking his time to learn how to play without the ball and how to co-exist with another star in crunch moment.

They probably just sent him to a fat camp where he belongs.

You really think that? Bucks have very good record w/o Giannis, Warriors have worse record w/ Curry than w/o him.
I really think this is Luka's worst season since his rookie year despite his numbers, but I'e watched him 4 years, there is no one in this league i'd trade Luka for .

If you listen to the latest Tim Cato pod Luka is using this time to recover from injury and get in shape. That's a problem.

Switch Jason Kidd for any coach in the league and this team would have a better record then they currently have.

After tonight and tomorrow I fully expect this team to be in a tied for 10th with the Lakers, Pelicans, and Thunder.

Another one of your "how dumb are you" posts, then you again proceed to write the most illogical thing you can come up with.

You asked me this not long ago and i answered you. No team in the league will sell the house for Doncic because they'll end up with a depleted roster like Mavs have right now. This is not NBA2K game... what the hell you think you'll get back for him? Picks? Some random so called star player? It takes some teams up to 10 years or even more to fully rebuild. What if Kyrie walks? You think Cuban will go into a full rebuild mode by trading Doncic?

Switch Luka for any all-star player in the league and this team would have a better record then they currently have.

At some point early on, Luka at 23yo averaged over 40ppg in 10 games span which resulted in a 8-2 record for Mavs. He had to average 37/9/8 at around 61% TS for Mavs to even be competitive before some guys came back from injuries aswell. They had a decent record, they were even at 4th spot and he was a nr1 MVP candidate. Then injuries happened and suddenly you want to get rid of him? Do you even realize how absolutely ridiculous you sound?

Yes, lets trade for a "random all star" and Mavs franchise will forever be saved. Good point.

To clarify: when you write things like the above and the quotes below, you are writing them seriously? You're using your best judgment and just giving your genuine opinions?

This would have been another loss with Luka. I keep getting proven right. Kyrie is the MVP of this team since the trade. Without him the Mavs wouldnt even be in the play in.

L if Luka comes back.

[ejs78]

Man I've really missed Luka complaining to the refs and not even getting back over half court.

What's the over under on how many times he'll do this tonight?
