Jokic isn’t the greatest defender but at least he tries
I’ve seen traffic cones play better defense than the shit Luka is doing, and what makes it worse is that he already gives up 10ppg bitching to the refs while the other team is running the fast break

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostI'm so sorry Kibthe only benefits are having a different coach on the bench (since he was taking up one of those spots) and also the team acquiring shooters and teaching them defense as opposed to getting defenders and teaching them to shoot.
can't wait for more of this tonight and some extra hilarity
he followed that game up with "more physical play" aka frustration fouls and a dumbass attempt at a charge holding 5 fouls

the fact luka does more than threes, layups, and isn't completely missing in the clutch in a regular basis puts him well beyond any version of harden lol
harden also had WAY better teams too

Mavs wouldn't have gotten as far without Luka so it's a double edged sword. The thing is he can absolutely elevate his game by getting in shape and being less of a baby. Hasn't done it for years though, this is who he is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mavs should focus on learning zone for next season
Especially if Gafford and Lively don’t get a jumper
Can hide Luka too
But I get it, offensive heavy players need to hide to save up their energy, like how Steph hides on defense

There's being bad on D and then there's losing 5-7 points in the first half while you're sitting on your ass jawing at the refs cause you're not even there to keep a hand in someone's face as they get ample time to shoot threes. It sucks watching this dude have tantrums in the Finals, amazing offensive scorer or not, if I was a Mavs fan I'd be livid not defending him in the slightest.
By Kuma Go To PostLets hope the Cs close it out. I got PTSD from this team not finishing joblol you're always worried.
By DY_nasty Go To Post lolIndiana would be a decent spot for him too right? Him going back would be kinda neat

Tatum gonna try to get 30 to pass Kobe on the all time playoff scoring list so he’s gonna chuck
Expecting another back and forth game
SHOOKtics last stand , if they lose then oof
That's why I like coaching guys this age. They're dumber than NBA players. I wouldn't have been able to pull that stuff off [in the pros]. But I got a great commitment from the group and I told them."
Guess who.

Wolves fans held KAT accountable for his performance in the WCF despite him being a big reason they beat the Nuggets, but Mavs fans think they can’t hold Luka responsible for this impending sweep because he’s the reason they’re there
By reilo Go To Postlol I was going to say a bad BPM in a three game sample doesn't mean that much, but for the best players in the league it is actually kind of rare... Wemby didn't have a three game stretch that bad since game 14 of his rookie season (game 20 was when the Sochan experiment was terminated). Luka had only one three game stretch that bad all year (right towards the beginning of the season). Jokic only had one negative BPM game the entire regular season. Dude is proving the haters 100% right, and it doesn't even matter!
WOOF Tatum

The Celtics kept creating separation with Tatum on the bench and Brown running the second unit.
Ready for the season to end
Won't be surprised if Luka gets even more injured trying to qualify with Slovenia

By joefu Go To PostLively evolving in front of our eyes 😭I knew Kidd was going to tell him to shoot threes with the season on the line.
Think the Mavs avoid the sweep tonight. Celtics down too much too early on the road, the Mavs are hitting their shots, and Horford's in foul trouble with Porzingis clearly not actually ready to play.
I want to see some Luka x Lively pick and pops please lmao. Maybe that's a next year thing...
? They can just wipe shots off? i knew they could check if it's a 2 or 3, but just taking it away later is so weird.

I don't want to see any more of this season, just end it so I can start feeling bad about Klay leaving

I'd be fine with that for the Celtics choking away a historic lead
